I think it's not easy to compartmentalize their population like that. It's a degradation of their culture, and cultures tend to follow the exoduses at least to some degree.

Darn. besides the Scots and Presbyterians,a total blight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 The guest worker system had been in effect for a long time, extending into Canada. I used to see it in action in the 80s and 90s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The catch is that there has to be someone like a family member on the other end on the mainland that agrees to take you in and see you get the proper care. Is there anyone you can really trust for that, lol? You could end up a castaway. You might decide you have to get a job... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And besides isn't a round trip ticket cheaper than a one way? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After reading too much, the comments about lack of bass had me thinking. I'm feeling much more assured. Forgot to congratulate you. After a weekend of listening to my favorites, yes a nice balanced speaker with gobs of accurate bass. Know you will let us know your impressions.

WillyBob Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I should get off my duff and do something. Guess I'll have to. Can't reach the volume knob..... The neighbors think I'm bad now ... one day, I was working at the store ... a guy came in, "Hey Bill, did you hear music this AM?" "No, not over my stereo" ... he lived a block away. wait for those LaScalas ... I do keep my noisy period to hours when the AirForce is playing. That way, I'm not the only one being loud. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyBob Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 thinking that I should start looking at my vinyl. Living in the dust bowl ... I gonna need a lot of cleaner, if that will help. I have a fair collection. Hasn't seen light of day for years. Knock the cobwebs off the old Technics. See if the motor turns. For sure needs a belt. Has a ShureM91ED, if that is still good. May need to check some wiring in the circuit from the cartridge ... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Sounds like a plan WillyBob. Nothing like rediscovering old vinyl collection. Have a newer mid-end Technics with cover that I always use. DizRotus has some good threads on cleaning them, as well as others. Woke up with clocks an hour behind but, not a biggie. March came in like a lamb around here but, nice stiff wind today and the lows remain tolerable. Like the cool and going to do outside work continued while still coolish. Second cupper Looks like Mike having a blast of cool... Stay safe. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
