Being a responsible adult, I’m getting a new driveway and front walkway for $14,400, instead of taking advantage of this incredible clearance price at Best Buy.

Catchin’ the Blues
Yesterday’s post motivated me to play some more gravel-voiced Blues.
Prue Bury Blues
HAH! You’re in a Blues song, Prue! He got it right about Pretty Prue and Plain Pattie.
Monte’s Mom
Good, ol’ Monte Schulz says his mother Joyce passed away this morning in Kauai, Hawaii.
This sad occasion may not be the ideal time for me to mention that Monte has a new novel coming out, but I was going to post this notice anyway. The book is scheduled for release around the 4th of July.
Oinkyo No More?
As I mentioned in March, my excellent Onkyo TX-NR676 receiver has Chromecast Built-in. I was about to write more about what I’ve learned from using Google Chromecast for audio, when news of Onkyo’s demise appeared.
The iPod has been discontinued, Bose is laying off, and now Onkyo is no more. Onkyo’s trouble can be blamed on their staying stuck in the classic receiver-centric model of home hi-fi. They did a great job of succeeding in the A/V receiver market, but most people now favor sound bars over true surround-sound systems. My thanks to the Onkyo software developer(s) who pushed out a final firmware update a few months ago, before the axe fell.
Follow-up: The Onkyo and Pioneer audio brands were sold last September to VOXX/Sharp, with Sharp itself being a brand that has gone under in the past. It remains to be seen how well this new business arrangement will work out in the long run.
