    "Being Henry"

    Winkler's greatest role came later. Years after Happy Days.

    Self Rediscovery

    It was supposed to be our year. On paper, we couldn't lose. Bill Walsh, Al Cowling, O.J. Simpson. Ray Wersching, Dwight Clark, Joe Montana. The Dream Team. OJ & AC both played at the local high school, and the community college, before making it big in the NFL. Local boys make good. These...

    Lunch, Anybody?

    That Girl once told me about where she is from, there is no middle class. There are rich people. There are poor people. The difference being that either you hired people to work for you, or you were hired to work. The people who hire other people, lived in nice big houses, where they hired more...

    Lunch, Anybody?

    It's ham day. I now have a stack of slices and a mound of chopped ham. In addition to about a gallon of pork stock. The best part is picking the scraps off the bone and the bone marrow.

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    For all I know, the employer provides 1 hour massage breaks. I don't know. And that's my point. I don't think Carl actually knows either. In all fairness, I don't think that he flew to South Africa, brought a hidden camera into the factory to document working conditions, or conducted candid...

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    Weston Kay collaborates with Jim Green. Jim Green sponsors Rose Anvil. There is bias. It has been raining. Usual weather related hazards of being in The City. Pools of standing water. Water running in streams downhill. Water pooled around clogged sewer drains. Wet pavement. Wet metal...

    Experimenting on foods.

    The Number 1 noodle of Africa has found it's way to Costco in The USA. It's better with steak.

    Lunch, Anybody?

    This steak fried rice has me obsessed. I am doubling the meat. 2 steaks. Just like an indulgent American.

    Lunch, Anybody?

    Indeed, it is not well known. Was it something simple, like the wiper motor?

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    These are not the well built, high priced boots, that are handmade with the finest of materials. These are cheap, mass produced...... and extremely comfortable. Full of cheap foam and rubber to make your feet feel like they are walking on pillows. "Work Boots"? Sure. It depends on the work...

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    Made in South Africa. The exchange rate for 1 Rand is around $0.05. Not for the squeamish who are considerate of race politics, and abusing low wage workers. These are comfortable. Stitch down construction. Double lasted. Single piece of leather for the vamp. Leather lined. Steel toe...

    Pepino Dulce grows in my yard. It consistently gives fruit. Even now, in Winter, I am harvesting.

    Experimenting on foods.

    The phenomenon of steak fried rice. The most basic of ingredients. Eggs and rice. Stir fried. Topped with steak.

    My Favorite Shoe Polish on my Favorite Work Boots

    I have to admit that the cheapest work boots can be the most comfortable. The X thought I wore uniform boots off-duty, because i was cheap. That's part of it. I am cheap. Uniform boots are free. But if they hurt my feet, I wouldn't wear them. And they are so shiny.

    Thoughts on these Jimmy Choo boots?

    A lot of these shoes with high price tags are not so well made. You see once they deconstruct the shoe. Lots of glue. No real stitches or nails. I really find fake welts distasteful. Some of the really expensive shoes are not any better than my cheap Timberlands. We're talking about...

    Anyone buy work boots and then wonder whether they like them too much to work in?

    It all depends on who is looking at you, and why they are looking at you. If you were actually working in the trades, you would not have this anxiety. If you're only playing dress up, to cruise other men in costumes........ it sounds too much like Al Pacino in Cruising, as he was learning...

    Workboots, how should they be worn?

    Who is "us"? If you were asking that question in a union hall - "us" would be a different demographic. Work boots are still made for work. Some work boots are oriented toward certain workers. Logging boots are made for logging. There used to be a boot called a "roofer boot". There are...

    General myths and "urban legends" on product quality

    FedEx has an interesting program of selling their routes. Sort of like a franchise experience. You buy the route, and get paid for each delivery. You hire employees, who are on your payroll. Sometimes you hire only yourself, as the sole employee. You buy the uniforms from FedEx. FedEx will...

    The 80s, myth and reality?

    December 13th, is now Depeche Mode Day in Los Angeles. I can't believe that they are still playing music.
