    A Day in the Life of the NY Times, 1942

    Puffing powder into your pits is a gem of a phrase the Boys would have loved. "Just puff your pits and the stink just flits." And my grandmother called cologne over BO "Hooey over Phooey."

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    House of Cards. I've quickly binged every season and love it. It has all seemed too real, and I've known politicians like that. Spacey just gets it perfect. This season is a slog. A week after it dropped, and I'm still not through it. Also recently watched The Keepers, about the disappearance...

    Loungers' Pets

    My Significant Other's chihuahua had 22 teeth out yesterday (age 4). Just bad teeth genes.

    The wonder of wedding bands

    I have my grandmother's two engagement/wedding sets, and my parents' bands. More stuff that will probably be lost when I'm gone.

    What to do with memorabilia?

    The museum route s a good idea. A scrapbook assembled as things unfolded would likely have interest. Those burial flags are kind of problematic. Dad died in 1989, and I have the flag in a case. It's in the basement, gathering dust. It isn't out of disrespect, it's due to lack of space. Who will...

    Reading Glasses

    Have a look at J. Peterman. You can also search eBay for "round reading" and see what turns up. I've gotten a few that way. I broke down and got bifocals a few years back. No switching anymore.

    Prayers and best wishes to our brothers and sisters in Manchester . . .

    Horrifying. We're just learning of this in the states as we wake.

    Dating for Fedora Loungers?

    How times have changed. Shopping with my then-19 year old daughter, she tried on some jeans and asked "do these make my butt look big?" I said, "well. yes. They kinda do." She: "Oh, we'll be buying these!"

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    Housekeeping: We had to refund Captain O's dues and show him out, I'm afraid. I've cleaned things up a bit. I appreciate everyone's forbearance and patience.

    What a remarkable man. Clearer than most of us and very, very wise.

    Unexploded WWII Bomb

    They turn up so frequently it doesn't merit much attention anymore. There are such explosives all over the European and CBI Theatres.

    J. Peterman to Open a Brick & Mortar in Cincinnati.

    I have friends there and can probably swing a visit later this year. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2017/05/01/j-peterman-seinfeld-fame-opening-store/101144218/ (The 'of Seinfeld fame' is rubbish. It was a big deal before Seinfeld)

    Dating for Fedora Loungers?

    I've had some trou for ages which are much, much too small for me. Really nice 40's high waisted fishtail things, with one pair handmade by a German tailor right here in town, sitting cross legged in the big bay window of his second floor shop. They're too small to fetch much of a price and I...

    Fifteen THOUSAND dollars for this 1950s Langlitz... SOLD!

    I doubt very much it brought that actual price. It might be an entirely fictional sale item posted as sold to make prices site wide seem more reasonable even if they're jacked. Just guessing here, but $15K is foolishness, especially when Dinerman has such jackets lying about like dandelions for...
