It took 8 days to get from Bristol Mc to
Mississauga ON by airmail.

I don't know what the "Mc" signifies but
Google makes "Bristol North Delivery Office
Station Road, Bristol, BS6 5DD" the first
hit when I search on it. Mississauga is
a satellite city to Toronto.

Now I will discover how much tax and duty
I will have to pay on 35 quid worth of
electronics kit bits.

Needless to say, soon after arrival I plan
to begin changing the technologically
mediated future of mankind.

We will look to the north. (Or northeast, in my case.)...

Yes, like that except all flowers and rivers
of chocolate-raspberry banana-split boats.

That's going to be hard to photoshop.

I saw Yesterday in the theatre now I am looking
forward to watching it again on Netflix.

My buddy just finished engraving the cover of
Revolver on his 20 year old cedar fence.

I feel like I've ignored the Beatles corpus
long enough that the universe is trying to
remind me of how great it is.

I made my first Beatles compilation last year.
It felt weird to hear two Beatles songs in a row, not to mention a whole CD's worth.
[slight exaggeration as I did own the Sgt. Pepper's album back in the day]

I still have Revolver on vinyl, but no Beatles
at all in CD or any other digital formats. I
can still probably sing along to everything
from Rubber Soul to Abbey Road, however. I
had them on vinyl before an event that saw
the loss of at least half of our vinyl
collection.
