Acme Studio Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon

A landmark album… that stayed 724 weeks in the Billboard Top 200… the longest ever for an album… and despite numerous attempts to elucidate the mysteries of its success… the ubiquitous popularity of this record remains an enigma. Pink Floyd's eighth studio album, The Dark Side of the Moon, is the band's most popular among fans and critics, and is frequently ranked as one of the greatest albums of all time.
First released in 1973, the landmark work has sold an estimated 50 million copies worldwide making it one of the best-selling albums ever. The album certainly sparks memories for those who heard it for the first time 40 years ago – and countless others have discovered its ground-breaking material and sonic appeal ever since. ACME Studios presents the ultimate 40th Anniversary collector's set for The Dark Side of the Moon fans.
The custom tri-fold case opens to reveal pictures of the band members and multiple artistic impressions of the album cover's ‘Prism’ motif; The Dark Side of the Moon limited edition rollerball and matching card case are neatly tucked inside. On the back is the record's track list and album statistics. Only 1,000 collector's sets will be available worldwide...re-live the 70's-era vibe before they're gone!

Emerson Knives Horseman at Scottsdale Pen and Knife

As any knife fan knows, finding Emerson Knives for sale is always a challenge as the demand far exceeds the supply. We recently acquired the Horseman, which is actually a Mini-CQC8, fondly known as the "Banana" in knife circles. It's an excellent design with great ergonomics. The Wave feature is standard, allowing for lightning fast deployment.

Oregon Vacation a Success

During the last week of September we were up in Oregon, spending two days in Portland and five days in a rented beach house at Gleneden Beach. This was just south of Lincoln City. We had two days of sunshine, two days mostly cloudy, and the rest with on and off rain. Pretty typical Oregon weather...

Besides having a great time with our two adult kids, highlights included a couple of wonderful hikes, waterfalls, beach combing, and great food. In Portland we enjoyed the Saturday Market, Voodoo Donuts, the Chinese Gardens and general walking about. We also did the Latourell Falls Hike (long loop) out at the Columbia River Gorge.

On the coast we did some shopping at the Tanger Outlet Stores where we stocked up on new rain gear, and then had a great time doing the Drift Creek Falls Trail and suspension bridge hike (in the rain). We also got up to the Tillamook Cheese Factory, always a fun place, and did the Three Capes Scenic Drive while in the area. We did tour as far south as Newport - we visited the Yaquina Point Lighthouse and Cobble Beach. We were there on a windy, rainy day, so it was very dramatic up in the tower - the wind was whistling past. Perfect lighthouse weather! You can see the spiral staircase below.
