Banging deal on the Betamax…

Had no idea Shipleys served steak sandwiches.

$2,000,000 for the press building seems excessive.

Also good to see Ol' Sarge in an ad…

Rudder Fountain is not the Fish Pond…case of mistaken identity…

You forget this was 1981 when he was just starting out- it takes a while to work up the chain.

Photo caption said he cleaned Rudder Fountain every other day which means he didn't want to disclose that he was cleaning Fish Pond the other days. Sid was trying to be koi.

At the risk of dating myself, he does look familiar and in '81 I was still in Shuhmacher…in fall of 79 as a (non-reg) fish I was being thrown in my underwear into the Fish Pond. They were finishing the two modulars closest (just Haas and McFadden, Lechner was later but the Lechner fellowships were announced around that time) and had a remaining construction shack they threw our clothes on top of that was about 6 foot high and surprised myself pulling up onto it in a single motion to grab mine and throw others' down…heh.

Quit making me use my brain. Ouch at what just came out…

The year was 1981. He thought to himself, should I buy the Betamax for $1k to record fantasy island or buy some Apple stock that new computer company everyone is talking about? Who are we kidding I'm going all in on the Betamax!

you think back on the early 80sand you realize just how much this world has lost its mind.

sad.

My phone just caught Aids...

Never knew there was a club in the Dewshane apartments.

Rudder Fountain maintainer is not Fish Pond maintainer.

$925 for a betamax!? Thanks, Jimmy Carter
