Business Card: Waterloo Hobbies

Business Card: Waterloo Hobbies, originally uploaded by sakraft1.

This shop sold games. Role playing games, strategy games, miniatures and that sort of thing (and I don't mean video games). Its been out of business for a long time despite the fact that I spent lots of money there. This was a time when you couldn't buy things on the internet. There aren't many stores like this left.

Incidentally, this card is on a magnetic back (my own doing, it didn't come like that), and I discovered there is no danger in scanning a magnet, at least none with a low power one.

Entertainment Center: Kentucky Do-Nothing

Entertainment Center: Kentucky Do-Nothing, originally uploaded by sakraft1.

Back in those days, "Entertainment Center" had nothing to do with your TV or stereo, apparently. I'm pretty sure I got this at EPCOT on my first trip to Disney World when I was six. I guess then they sold stuff that was not branded with Disney logos plastered all over it.

Scott's Room 1988 - 2008

My room was extant from the year 1988 to 2008. Having lived in the house since I was born in 1982, I first came to have my own room in 1988 when the second story was added to the house (the house was built in 1952). In December 2008 I moved to Melville and the room was converted into a nursery for my nephew, Jackson Kraft.

Robot skeletons!

This is a scan of a photocopy. I think it came from a catalog. The image has something to do with the GURPS roleplaying game. I never played it, but I thought the image of badass robot skeletons was cool.
