You Don't Know What You've Got (Until You Lose It)

You don't know what you've got until you lose it
You gave me you-your love but I abused it
And now I'm sorry for the things I didn't say
`cause I know now I acted in a foolish way
(oh yeah) uh-huh-huh (oh yeah) oh-oh-yeah

"Holy cow, this is a great catalog, I really need to browse through it and buy a bunch of this stuff. One of these days. When I have some extra cash. Someday. Soon. Eventually."

Who knew Loompanics wasn't going to last forever?

I try to be an optimist, but this is two body blows out of Port Townsend, Wash., in a month: First the death of R.W. Bradford, and now Mike Hoy's announcement that the most eclectic source of freedom lovers' reading material will soon be no more. This hurts. I feel bad taking advantage of the 50-percent-off closeout sale, but money is a finite thing and this is our last chance. I'm sorry I didn't start buying sooner and do my little bit to delay the inevitable.

Thanks, Mike. We don't know each other, but you inspired me and a lot of other folks, and you did a great thing for 30 years.
