spindle spider dot comI’ve visited New Hampshire before and did a good job working through Manchester and also some of Portsmouth. I found myself back in Portsmouth but I knew there was little to nothing left there so I turned my eyes north to Maine. Unbelievably, I found an array of thrift stores on the main road out […]
the space between records and their receptacles the travelers often depart the bin sees all bold and proud omnipresent always watching but off in the distance on the horizon orphaned vinyl long to make their way back home ‘pots & pans’ herb & mantovani piled high waiting for the phone to ring back at the […]
Had to take a brutal 8 hour drive to the Kansas City area. I already have Kansas and Missouri checked off the list but determined (even though it may have been slightly longer) I could take I-80 straight west to Des Moines, where it becomes I-35 and took me right to my destination. So I […]
If there was ever a better example of ‘no rest for the wicked’, it was that I got called to go to Buffalo while I was on vacation in Orlando. I rushed back having booked my trip before I even got home and made my way back out east for ‘fall guy’ type of political […]
Proud to check yet another state off my list! Had an awesome opportunity to head out to Seattle for 5 nights. The work of course was tough, bad hours as well. But lots of down time and I knew in advance I’d be doing everything I could to take advantage. I was there from Thursday-Tuesday […]

Well – and I guess I can say this about many places I’ve been – I never thought I’d find myself in Maryland. And not only did I go, but the whole thing came together with just a few days notice. Worked for maybe 4 hours. Can’t beat that, right? Usually a plane ticket to […]
This Savers has eluded me for a few years, it is just too far out of the way to force me to get up there and I don’t get that way for work often enough. Finally made time on a lazy Sunday in my mom’s borrowed car as I housesit for them while they […]
I checked this place out pre-construction on my last trip out to Terre Haute. After I took a leak in an outhouse outside (and wondered why there was an outhouse outside) I strolled in to be greeted by a bunch of construction workers. I vowed to return and after wrestling with myself for a few […]
Don’t know how this place slipped through the cracks – never checked it out. Made my way over on a quiet weekend and enjoyed the dig. Like every other Goodwill, apparently someone, somewhere is fabricating these record bins for them as they are in every single store across the land. However this one had seen […]
