Perhaps I am entrenched in middle age because I do like to "make good time." I also dislike impromptu stops.

When I see a great curated selection of records, I have to stop and see what I can find. Even just seeing the "Baseball History LPs" placecard had be intrigued for what I might find.

Which brings us to what i walked out with. A stick on tag from the very defunct Mohawk Airlines. I have never found anything from Mohawk in the wild before so I had to pick this up. You think Don Draper had a hand in this marketing?

Flip Through the Vintage 1980s Sears Holiday Wish Book

Check out this Sears catalog that I got my hands on. It is actually the 1980 Sears Holiday Wish Book. It is nearly 500 pages of all of the things that you wanted to circle in the book so Santa knew what you wanted for Christmas. I picked out a bunch of electronics, retro toys, hand-held games, roller skates, big wheels, clothes, even a 1980s version of the electronic spin bike. Enjoy!
