KZOM Zoom 104 1/2 T-shirt


I recently came across a vintage 70s to early 80s soft thin t-shirt with this logo: 
KZOM 
Zoom 104 1/2 


https://www.etsy.com/listing/246302159/vintage-70s-t-shirt-kzom-1045-fm-radio

Which led me to this youtube of KZOM's final sign off in 1984, Richard Jones playing The Who's "Rock and Roll Is Here to Stay."

KZOM-FM 104.5 (ZOOM 104 1/2) was an Album-oriented rock radio station that served the Orange/Beaumont/Port Arthur, Texas and Lake Charles, Louisiana areas from 1978-1984.

looked like a pretty cool station. RIP KZOM 104.5.

Flashback to the time in October 1986 when I dressed up as Santa and put a sign saying "Sit on Santa's Lap - $1" on our mailbox. Shockingly, nobody stopped.

WTF Wednesday: Siamese Twins, Oak Ridge Puppy, Troll Hunting


Greetings, Wednesday! Greetings, WTF!

Let's begin with something I saw on Antiques Roadshow. They were in Charleston and showed an old double-seated chair belonging to Siamese twins attached on the side. The woman was their descendant and said they had 21 children between the two of them. I got this book Chang & Eng in the mail yesterday and cannot wait to read it.
