Eyewitness Pacific Theater • I have the companion book “Eyewitness D-Day”, so this was a nice find, and will compliment my other volume.
Victory at Sea • Wow, the cover of this one reminds me of another book I have. I hope I didn’t already have it!
Stalingrad to Berlin • Same with this one. When you have a lot of books on the same topic, sometimes they start looking alike.
Hitler: Downfall 1939-1945 • This is the second of two books, but published four years ago so the info inside is going to be different from the 1967 book I read on the same subject. I have others like this but the more views I read on this, the better.
It is so interesting to read old books. This one is from 1902, which is more than a decade before World War I, and a decade before the loss of the Titanic. Yet, there is still a lot that is correct in it which can still be learned from. I have to wonder exactly when all of these notes were taken, I think it would have to be soon after the book was originally purchased, so more than a hundred years ago.
A FEW DAYS LATER: I found the American History version of this book at a yard sale for two bucks! It was published ten years after the Western Europe one! What are the odds? I think these history books were for students and many were made. But still, a neat, and timely find!

Favorite Television Intros
I tried to find the intro to Buck Rogers, but amazingly enough, an intact version of it isn’t on YouTube. That is so far back in time, it is easy to forget how great that intro was.
My favorite series of all time.
Good Morning!

Classic Collection: List of Games Needed
This is a list of games that I played back in the day, and want to own/play again.
A low-priority project, I prepared this list in case I come across the right garage sale.
Luckily, all of these games are dirt-cheap, as are most of the systems.

Indiana Jones: Missing
The first four Indiana Jones movies just disappeared from the Disney+ Streaming service. We all know this happens from time-to-time, licensing ends, deals expire, etc. (This is a First-World problem, of course.)
I have experienced and recognize the benefits of streaming, and for most people it is just what they need, but at the same time there is something to actually owning a physical copy as opposed to paying for permission to watch from a limited selection for a limited time under limited terms.
Streaming is wonderful until somebody flips a switch for reasons beyond our understanding, leaving us confused and frustrated. We shouldn’t have to be Indiana Jones just to find the Indiana Jones films.
Of course, that would be okay if that were to happen to the last Indiana Jones movie.
