After a week of vacationing and a great family reunion at Lake Tahoe, it's time to get back to the keyboards. Computer keyboards that is.

My friend Neil Sterett and I went to the Antiques & Collectables Show at the Portland Expo Center on Saturday. They had 1800 booths and we only made it through about 1/4 of them. We found some great gems in our "Swapo Safari". I'll post examples of some items the next few days. One great find was the "Natural Color Meat Identification Kit" Yes, over 100 life like color photos of meat - just waiting to be cast into a Quizno's commercial.

We also found a couple of pre-Dick and Jane grade school readers from the early 50's - with some great illustrations to be utilized for sinister purposes at a later date.

The comic book advertisement shown here is from an edition of Wonder Woman, in the pre-zip code days.
