    Reproduction Irvin jacket comparison photos

    Nice work, Jon! Definitely (the BoB model) on my list when I buy the next car (Miata convertible) in a few years. What is the current turn around time on an order?

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    From that description, I'm guessing, Hillsdale College in Hillsdale. Funny story about that one: a long time friend's daughter went there, and one year we got the usual chirpy holiday "family news" newsletter from them. They were quite proud of the fact that the school, "..receives no...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    I've heard of, "French Letters," but those were actually precursors.

    We're putting our North Woods cabin on the market this spring. Gonna lose money from what we purchased it for- not much, and with the business deductions and depreciation that we've claimed over the years it really has been a decent investment- but still, a loss. Nice property, but the fiefdom...

    Dear friends, we surely all agree There's almost nothing worse to see Than some repulsive little bum Who's always chewing chewing gum. (It's very near as bad as those Who sit around and pick the nose). So please believe us when we say That chewing gum will never pay; This sticky habit's...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    My wife laments at my OCD as to this. I see a shopping cart corral that is crammed with different sized carts (four different sizes... including two just for the kiddies: downsized ones so that the darlings can play Junior Shopper.. and oversized monstrosities with steering wheels lest the...

    You see that mentality in a lot of serve yourself dining establishments as well. People are asked to clean up after themselves, waste bins and dirty dish/ scullery trays are located at the exit... and the slobs still leave their waste for another - staff or even another customer- to deal with...

    In my early youth it was "the starving kids in Europe" that would have given their right arm for half of a PBJ sandwich which I was guilt-ed into choking down. (I do remember at age four telling my dad that if they'd send me the arm, I'd send 'em the sandwich. That was the tender time in life...

    Ringling Brothers Circus is Closing.

    Having seen this other clip of him, I'm thankful for two things: 1. I didn't grow up in the Boston telecast area; and 2. My parents did not allow me to have access to firearms when I was a preschooler.

    Ringling Brothers Circus is Closing.

    They changed that rule in my jurisdiction: even sitting judges can get called. Although few are usually chosen: the attitude is that we "know too much," so it's worth a pre-emp to get rid of the problem. To be honest, although I was called twice (once criminal, once civil) I was never picked...

    Ringling Brothers Circus is Closing.

    The thing that I remember most from my trip to the RB/B&B Circus as a kid was the endless hawking of toys: and it got even more shameless and expensive by the time we brought my kid to a performance when he was little. I got the impression that it was meant to be one of those once in a childhood...

    Adopted three: one domestic adoption when he was an infant, and two older brothers from Russia. I could write a book.... or keep an expensive therapist employed for at least a decade.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    So much of their brand of comedy in their prime was purely physical, and of course even with the verbal give & take, timing is everything in comedy. As they aged, the Stooges- and the Marx Brothers- could never retain that outrageous edge that marked them in their prime. It was always kind of...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Well, speaking just as to the last US election: roughly half of eligible voters either cast their ballot for someone other than one of the 2 major candidates, or stayed home. Thus the current President elect is the choice of roughly 25% of eligible voters, and even less of a percentage of the...

    I've a friend in Bristol who constantly notes the he's "a citizen, not a subject." I really do not have an issue with a monarch as head of state for the UK, but it is somewhat of interest that the royal family for the last three plus centuries is really about as English as sauerbraten. I had a...
