I wore Levi's forever, but a few years ago I switched to Wranglers that I get at Target for $19.00, good fit and they wear well.

Yeah, for the price, they couldn't be beat.

I keep looking at these fancy raw denim jeans - the ones that promise to basically last forever, but damn, some of them are $300 a pair - that seems excessive.

Some good news from Powell's Books. After acknowledging that the current shutdown could be the end for Powell's they have had a surge in online orders. Enough to rehire 100 full time employees.

Well, that's good for Powells Books and I'm glad they appear to be making a recovery. I've become a fan of the Mysterious Bookshop after ordering two signed books from them. I have no idea when I'll get the second order from the Mysterious Bookshop. Just now I ordered a book from an independent bookstore I'd never heard of until this week. As if I need one more unread book to add to the dozens of unread books I already have. I guess I'm an addict.

A couple random thoughts...
Really looking forward to If It Bleeds. I was trying to find some info on the stories, and I saw there are a couple reviews up. They sound like a lot of fun. The H. Gibney story makes me think King is trying to spin-off a new series of filmed-entertainment for HBO or other streamers. Smart move.
When do you think the first remotely-made film based on CoV-2 will be made? I'm thinking in particular about major stars making it, not necessarily real low-budget. I could see Jason Blum working on something now. I also could see a comedy...maybe Seth Rogen makes a sequel to that apocalypse comedy he made (This is the End I think was the title). Use the same cast. There must be a huge race to get CoV-2 fiction out there. I assume CD is working on an anthology as we speak...

Sounds nuts but had my wife go trade in her car today for a newer model. Same make but something newer. They were giving some screaming deals that seemed to good to pass up. She was almost out of warranty on the old car, it needed a little work, and new tires.
She now has a brand new car, new warranty, same monthly payment, nothing down, and no payments for 3 months. We had 24 payments left on the old one now we have 60 so they will get there money assuming things straighten back out.
I know people have opinions on financing a vehicle but, at least from my experience, they are all money pits. I've tried in the past paying off vehicles, maintaining them, and setting aside what my payments would have been. However both of those experiences just resulted in me dumping my "saved" money right back into the vehicle for repairs.Looking for the fonting of youth.

So watching PBS Newshour tonight. Political reporter Amy Walter reporting from home about the Covid-19 pandemic had a bookshelf directly behind her. The Stand is prominently displayed right by her head surrounded by books about politics. There is no way this was just a coincidence.

That is great. I'm sure you are correct that the book placement wasn't by accident.

Ughh. Going from old car to new car and then a swift kick in the nads. Wife had a contract cancelled today, due to the virus, which made up 50% of her income.
I also had two contracts voided at work due to the virus. Luckily we have a few more projects that just started however the backlog was predominantly wiped out. Currently have more salaried folks on staff then hourly folks and I expect that to change very soon.Looking for the fonting of youth.
