Self Rediscovery
I'm the last to know anything. Sometimes, I never know at all. Why didn't anyone tell me? It's better that way. If I ever get subpoenaed, I can honestly testify that I didn't know, and I still don't know. Sometimes I'm not told at all, and I learn just like everyone else. From the...- Fifty150

Self Rediscovery
Growing up in Chinatown, we were poor. But there were layers of poor. Some weren't really as poor. It was a time in society, where segregation was normal. Everyone stayed in their neighborhoods. They knew their place. Every major city was like that. Everyone had an "ethnic ghetto"...- Fifty150

The bartenders started tipping me out at the end of the night. Bartenders. There were two of them. They overlapped each other on weekends. It was busy and The Bar needed 2 bartenders. I didn't ask for it. They started doing it on their own. Every night, after they counted out and balanced...- Fifty150

Sometimes delivery drivers would give us kids change, maybe a couple of quarters, to help them offload cases of beer, soup cans, or whatever was heavy. Those cases had to be hand carried down steep, narrow, dark stairwells into basement store rooms. I had just started high school. Young...- Fifty150

Allen Edmonds (really... are they good shoes?)
Some time back, I made the "executive decision" to stop wearing shoes. I like boots. Even low cut boots. I want ankle support. And I don't like getting my socks wet - which happens with shoes. The worst is when there are puddles, or there is heavy rain, and water gets in from the top of the...- Fifty150

Allen Edmonds (really... are they good shoes?)
These are from the 2000's. Approximately 20+ years old, or so. The Cascade. Mine came in black, with a Vibram lug sole. Mine still has the original sole and has not been resoled, refurbished, rebuilt, etc. Clean with saddle soap, mink oil, then polish. The same process that I use on all of...- Fifty150

Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread
My brother in law works in a different division. At the end of his watch, he literally has to hose off his boots, before he dons a pair of rubber gloves to take them off. His boots last less than a year. Sort of why in his division, he is issued 2 pairs of boots a year. If a pair of boots...- Fifty150

Show us your SHOES !!!
At least the leather is good enough that a simple Brush is all that I need to clean them off. Brush them off a little, and they are ready for another 6 months. At which time, I'll decide if I will buy another pair of Jim Green, or move on.- Fifty150

Experimenting on foods.

"It's not right. It's my tuchus on the line. If anything goes wrong, I have to pay out $1 back to those goat herders in turbans." The High Priest was dropping off the 40 points. He wasn't happy. I just figured that it was in his nature to be dissatisfied. The stereotype that his people...- Fifty150
