Ah ha, you worked for these bandits too? They tried to get me to move to Logan, UT
and live in a motel room. I had to say no, and nearly got fired. In retaliation, I

buy records. The famous dwindling bins... I enjoyed working in Berkeley on their
dime, met a sweet girl I dated for a few years and learned a lot about insanity.
