I enjoy reading old school Science Fiction. the new stuff does not appeal to me in the least, it simply doesn't have the charm of the older efforts. I was listening to Fahrenheit 451 while making this one btw.
Not really 'junk' so I decided they are 'junque'... It all started because I had old calendars I did not want to throw away. I also had a box full of all sorts of bits and pieces...that I also did not want to throw away. There was only one solution - make journals!
