Vintage Workwear
We had a magnet on the fridge when I was a kid that replicated the "Wears like a pig's nose" label; but this is the first time ever seen the real thing. Thanks for sharing that! -Dave- David Conwill

Maybe my eyes are going. What is this, the 33rd Illinois kills a pterodactyl, 1863? I could see a good science fiction story, here, about a small town in Georgia being terrorized by a “dragon”... -Dave- David Conwill

"Ask the Man Who Owns One"
This weekend, I met the owner of the red coupe posted above (I bought a new engine for my Falcon from him). I got to see the car in person, and I think it's in good hands. Some of you may be appalled, and some may be impressed by this: That car started life as a 300-model sedan (no coupes...- David Conwill

Formal Wear Primer
I once heard ettiquite defined as making sure those around you are as comfortable as possible. So, if wearing a dinner jacket when going out makes your business-suit-wearing friends uncomfortable, perhaps it is a breach of ettiquite. Put more generally, it may be a breach of ettiquite to...- David Conwill

What are you wearing today??
So's Dinerman. I tend to fall short of either fellow, not being neat enough to pull off Orgetorix's pressed-and-natty look, and not being rogueish enough to emulate Dinerman's somewhat bohemian, adventurous appearance. Well done fellows! -Dave- David Conwill

The "Sharknose" Graham
Oh, the Airflow Incident made Depression-era car designers a bit gunshy for sure; but would it really have been so daring to fit this car with a fastback ala the '38 Ford? I think it at least would have flowed then. I mean, you can't be daring half way, you'll alienate both the stylish folks...- David Conwill

The "Sharknose" Graham
Hemmings Motor News has a Graham “Spirit of Motion” sedan up for grabs at the moment. The front-end styling on these babies is without match, but I’ve always felt like they gave up when they hit the cowl. Fit this chassis (making sure to specify the supercharged engine) with a coachbuilt...- David Conwill

Parents: When May Our Children Start Dating?
Guttersnipe's father sounds like my dad. An understanding ally without being a facilitator. My parents grew up in the 1960s, and they'd seen and done pretty much everything. As a consequence, somehow, they more-than-successfully raised my brother and I not to do any of that. I just hope I...- David Conwill

Parents: When May Our Children Start Dating?
I respectfully disagree. Dating without physical attraction, whether acted upon or not, is just friendship with a person of the opposite sex; which is an entirely different creature from dating. -Dave- David Conwill

Time Warp Towns
Is there a "hitting the nail on the head" emoticon to use here? One needs to look no further than Saginaw, Michigan to see that short sightedness and the blight it has created. There's hardly a tenth of the walkable infrastructure left on the east side that existed pre-WWII. In Detroit...- David Conwill

Parents: When May Our Children Start Dating?
What I mean is (and I think this would have carried through better in the spoken word; as written “should” implies some kind of encouragement that I didn’t intend) that I don’t have a problem with you allowing your son to date if you think he’s mature enough for it (and I heartily approve of...- David Conwill

Parents: When May Our Children Start Dating?
Not true. If you think your son is mature enough to carry on a romantic relationship at that age, maybe you should allow him and aid him in doing so. Personally, I have no problem with socializing in mixed groups, but I fear the sexualization of preteens that has gone on in our society, so...- David Conwill

Parents: When May Our Children Start Dating?
Interesting theory, and I don't necessarily disagree, although I always viewed dating as worthwhile to develop releationship skills I might use when the right mate came along. Although I never approached any relationship with the expectation that it would end short of marriage. Indeed, I...- David Conwill

Parents: When May Our Children Start Dating?
I'm willing to bet the vast majority of American teenagers live somewhere with minimal pedestrian and public transit infrastructure. I guess my point was that I don't see how a kid under the age 16 or 17 is even capable of dating without the active participation of a parent. And yet a lot of...- David Conwill

I'm sorry, Mike. That's probably my fault. I said the "W-word" first. I was actually kind of hoping someone would pipe up and prove me wrong about there being no time-warp towns left in Michigan. -Dave- David Conwill
