Somewhere, buried within a dusty ZIP drive inside an old metal filing cabinet tucked into the corner of a little used office in a federal building, are the the last emails Amelia Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan sent to the US Navy in 1938 evincing palpable concern their GPS was "a bit off."

LPs that sport musical interpretations come and go. Some, like "Stay Awake: Various Interpretations of Music From Vintage Disney Films" are eternal. This one came out back in 1988. It was among the first CDs I bought. Still have it and play it. To find it on vinyl -- still sealed? A no brainer.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

It's been seven years since Star Wars Resistance debuted. I reported and wrote a story about not just the show, but how speed and racing permeated Star Wars from the beginning. The dispatch never got used, but it's among my favorite efforts.

You know something? Been playing D&D since 1979. This is a very cool set. Even more so if you read Dark Horse Comics' recent "Stranger Things and Dungeons & Dragons: The Rise of Hellfire" mini-series.

Three for 50 cents? Yes, please. All are in great condition and sound as if they were just acquired from the late, great Budget Records in downtown Colorado Springs.
