The Glendale Tower is down to its last three days of operation with everything at 70% off.
At the bottom it says “You saved 1104.16 today!” I bought 94 CDs, for a total of $448.25 including tax. This sentence in particular got me moving: Frankly, I’m sick of CDs these days, but after reading Doug O.’s blog post today about his Tower finds I figured what the hell. I’ve reading about the great deals that people were getting at the Tower clearances, but apart from those few outrageous finds there wasn’t anything that motivated me enough to plow through the bins one last time. Carl Sagan” Author Chris Barrus Posted on 22 December 2006 22 December 2006 Categories Space 5 Comments on Whatever the reason you’re on Mars, I’m glad you’re there, and I wish I was with you Somewhere over your head the future is happening, part IIįollowing up on my earlier Tower Records post, I can now answer the question “When was the last time I bought something at Tower?” Answer: today! I remember exactly what picture it was and what he wrote on it: Thirty years later, I’m still kicking myself for losing track of it though it’s probably Out There Somewhere. I got to meet him afterward and he gave me a stack of Mars photos that he used in the presentation and autographed one to me. A theme that runs constant through his subsequent writing. Heady stuff for a six year old, but he made it interesting and (most important) extraordinarily cool.Ī couple years later there was a Cornell alumni event (both my parents are from Ithaca and my dad was a Cornell grad) in Los Angeles with Sagan and he talked about the then-recent Viking landings and what the ambiguous biological experiment readings meant – emphasizing that science shouldn’t allow itself to be tunnel-visioned into one particular belief while it’s trying to figure things out.
Either way, further study is important because there’s only one Earth.
He added that if Martian climate could change dramatically, then Earth’s climate could change just as radically. Sagan took the guy’s question seriously and without any condescension offered that while there didn’t seem to be any Martians or water in the traditional 19th century sense, there could have been in the past. Sagan was being interviewed about what the orbiter might see and he was asked about Percival Lowell, the Martian canals (sorry, “canale”), and Martian War Of The Worlds. A planet-wide dust storm was obscuring all the surface features which left everyone sitting around killing time while waiting for the dust to settle. It was during the 1971 Mariner 9 mission to Mars. I have a vivid memory of the first time I saw Carl Sagan on television and it wasn’t Johnny Carson or Cosmos. Although it was in fair condition for its age, Washington’s old suit definitely looks a little worse for wear.(a somewhat belated entry to the Carl Sagan blog-a-thon) This three-piece suit that once belonged to America’s first President is a pale buttery yellow today, but when the first commander-in-chief donned the garment, it was actually a striking shade of pink. Considering that only about 1,500 of these cars were ever produced, that was a sweet deal for the extremely rare beauty.
Originally priced around $3,000 in 1932 - a little more than $50,000 today - the beautiful, extravagant vehicle passed into Harrison’s hands for a mere $95,000.00.
