went into a wine shop the other day to buy pasta and they did not have pasta but they were doing a wine tasting so i thought what the hell. and got to chatting with the other woman there because we had both just come from the library and were comparing our books and sipping wine and turns out we’re both teachers so we got on the topic of phones in classrooms—and the guy pouring our wine was like ‘that’s actually a point of contention in one of my divorces right now.’

and i very delicately said ‘one of your divorces?’ and his eyes got really big and he said I’M A PARALEGAL

Please meet Rube Goldberg.

While collecting eggs a couple of weeks ago, this egg slipped out of my hands from 5 feet up above wood, wire, and cement. Quail eggs are VERY fragile when it comes to impacts, so this egg's life flash before my eyes and time slowed down as I watched the world's most ridiculous accidental cartoon egg drop.

It somehow missed every obstacle on the way down (3 shelves) in order to land upon the side of a milk jug I had dropped the day before. It bounced off of that to a couple feet away, and hit the side of a hay bale. It bounced off of that, and somehow landed on the open lip of an empty feed back laying on the floor that I had put down under the towers to prevent the cement from sinking heat from the space. The bag gently collapsed, and rolled the pristine egg to a stop back at my feet.

I stared at it in disbelief. I took it inside and candled it- not a crack in it. So I noted the pen I got it from (CER) and scribbled "dropped?" on it. I figured SURELY it would not develop after that kind of nonsense, but when I candled at lockdown, the little thing was ready to go.

So, I stuck the egg into its own hatching bag, and sure as shit, the little fucker hatched!

And as if the rest of the story is not weird enough, this is possibly the first coturnix chick in the world who didn't immediately faceplant off of a human hand in the pursuit of the cold embrace of death. It just sat there, posing with the egg. Looking around like Hm so this is what being alive is... it's alright I guess.

1950’s Georgian Record USSR Era Bone Vinyl

A short history on bone vinyl for those unaware: in the 50’s most music, especially western music, was banned in Russia. People of the street markets soon discovered many old X-Rays being discarded, and afterwards learned you could lathe cut records onto them.

The by-product would be an extremely flimsy one-sided 78 record, and the center label hole would usually be created by the cherry of a smoking cigarette. There are documentaries available online, and a lot of fakes for sale as well. Today we digitize one that has been in our collection for over a year now, and was sent to us from Dusheti, Georgia. For those curious, I included just how far this brittle record travelled, to arrive intact in Chattanooga, TN.

‘Retromanstore2019” is a reputable source for an authentic bone vinyl if you ever find yourself on the market. Ours arrived in a postage decorated with gorgeous stamps, wish we had not ripped through them in haste to see the record inside. Included are some photos of the stamps and a link of the song below, enjoy an old Georgian Folk song from the mid 1900’s.
