Old Town Music

The Marshall amp isn't producing sound like it should, so we went to Old Town Music to see about some replacement vacuum tubes this afternoon. They have some bins of old power amplifier tubes which they sell for a couple of bucks, but after consulting with one of the storekeepers, we opted for a single new tube for the preamp for $16.

On the way back I thought I would take Morrison over the Morrison bridge. Bad idea. Start of rush hour, you can't get on Morrison bridge from Morrison street, or avenue, or whatever it is. Six lanes of traffic merge into one that goes through a entrance ramp meter light. Not that it makes any difference, traffic on the freeway is at a standstill. It normally takes about a half hour to drive this distance. Today it took an hour. Why does creeping along in traffic seem to take so much longer than it actually does? I can spend ten minutes driving and it will feel like, well, ten minutes, more or less. But ten minutes of creeping along can seem like a week. Why is that?

Update February 2017 replaced missing picture.
