And I have a Connolly Half-belt from the same period. A friend of mine recently put it perfectly: "I forgot what a real leather jacket looked like. This thing'll see you through the Apocalypse."
I recently read that a group is bringing back the chestnut tree, having found a strain that is resistant to the fungus that wiped them out. They used to be all over this country and were a large source of income for farmers. I still have memories of one I always passed on my way to school. The...
