Gay Club Matchbooks and Pins

 



Back in the day, I had this modest collection of matchbooks from gay bars and discos.

At the Los Angeles Central Library in 2018, I saw a display of similar matchbooks from ONE Archives. I wrote and asked if they wanted mine. They did, and I donated these.

I also gave them these gay pins and buttons:

Flowers — April 2024


 [I don't know why I didn't write this up at the time.]

Link to many more photos. Definitely worth viewing.

In April 2024, we went on a one-day tour to see flowers in northern San Diego County, specifically, at the Self-Realization Fellowship Meditation Gardens in Encinitas and the Flower Fields in Carlsbad.

The tour, Petals and Peace, from Good Times Travel, is no longer offered.

Too many bowl games


I wrote this on Facebook recently:

My alma mater Rice lost a bowl game today. It's crazy stupid that a team WITH A LOSING RECORD even gets into a bowl game! That degrades all bowl games. Rice's season record was 5-7! After today's loss, 5-8! Clearly, there are WAY too many bowl games.

Later that day, I thought, "I should have sent it to the newspaper." So I sent it to the LATimes sports section. They did not print it.
