Your thoughts on the price? She keeps saying obo$400 seems on the high side for a piece like that in this market. Bob says check out the website krrb to see listings for vintage stores by area. You might be able to get a price comparison.

Punishingly Intricate

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
This is an unusual election, being a double dissolution election. Normally, as with the US system, our elections typically involve voting for all the seats in the House, and a proportion of the seats in the Senate (a half rather than a third). A double dissolution election (which involves certain conditions to be met, basically around the Senate blocking government legislation) sees every seat in the Senate up for grabs.
Wow. Aussie rules are always something else, as far as I can tell.

Our wings are not tired.
Just the vanity & stool, asking $400, and they'd deliver this weekend for free.
I love it! Couldn't resist.
I'm really sad to see that bar go
I hope they find a new place. Easier said than done for sure.
Oh fun, meara! Yes, having your playlist ready to go would be great.
Vote! May sanity prevail.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

We do try. (Our other winter sport, incidentally, is called Aussie Rules.) I tend to be pretty enthusiastic about the Australian system - preferential voting, compulsory voting (which kills voter suppression as an issue), proportional Senate representation, independently drawn electoral boundaries, standardised ballot design over the whole country. But since 2007, we've had five changes of Prime Minister, three of which were leadership spills rather than election results. Oh, and we knighted Prince Phillip. We do our best to inject a bit of texture into it all.

Oh we do need to get us some of that! Not that I think this is ever going to happen, but it sounds nice.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Yeah, we could use some Aussie rules in the USA.
Used the CPAP machine for the first time last night. Plus a nap yesterday. The machine tells me I got total 10 hours of sleep. I feel better. Not all bouncy full of energy, but I guess I have years of sleep debt to catch up on.

That is wonderful, Zenkitty! Sleep is indeed a glorious thing.

landlord decided to give the lease to a relative to open their own place, even though the existing place has been there for 25 years
That seems like a recipe for failure of the new place. Won't most of the locals who frequented the previous establishment be ticked off?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
At the con, baby-wrangling and listening to the first concert of the day.
