A guitar I lust for, Badtux is on a roll, and why you're not seeing middle-class affordable boats at the boat shows...

I read today that, fifty years ago on this date, the Beatles arrived in the USA. Something of a pivotal moment in time for folks of my generation.

The Beatles just finished the job...
