Gave my stereo to mom because I hadn’t used it in like two years and this is what I did with the freed-up space on my headboard. Things of note:

The cans: Found in the basement, belonged to my dad. No idea why he saved the Old Milwaukee and Milwaukee’s Bests. They’re unopened too. The Coke can has some Asian language on it, but I don’t know which one. Oddly, it’s also unopened but empty. Those two things might be why Dad kept it? The silver can is Asahi, which according to Google is a brand of Japanese beer.

The black thing next to the Milwaukee’s Best is a bottle of cologne shaped like CB radio mic. I bought it for him like three years ago.

The thing next to that is a Uniden Bearcat 210XLT radio scanner. Dad had a thing for scanners and owned quite a few. He had them programmed to pick up police, fire, and EMS traffic (not the secure only for secret use frequencies), which was likely a callback to when he was part of a volunteer rescue squad. Once I figure out how to program it, I’m going to set it to pick up NOAA and other broadcasts.

I might add some more stuff, like some of those Matchbox and Hot Wheels I found last week.
