end of an era

[mellowtigger]

My mother bought me a university-themed blanket, back in 1986 when I first went off to college. It is literally thread-bare now, after a few decades of regular use in winter seasons. My hands get tangled in stray loops of cloth, and I can actually see through it if I hold it up in front of my face. It's time for it to go, to be replaced by a warmer blanket.

Yes, even back in those days, I slept on a mattress on the floor.

So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye.

Wow! You went to Texas A&M??? 😀

I escaped before they could graduate me, but I did spend a few years there in College Station. (Best decision I ever made for my continued health and long life.)
