    Dopp Kit

    I just picked one of these up on ebay. Leather & fairly solid, not a bad deal for around $9. My old one from my days back in the Marines finally gave up the ghost & blew out a zipper. I was looking for one that was like the one my Pop has been using since 1950 but the only dead ringer...

    Public Enemies

    Funny how that happens. Dillinger's car is still up & running and very well loved. Hoovers, not so much. ;) Cheers! Dan

    Abandoned movie theatres

    The Fox Theater in Paso Robles, CA. It was gutted by a fire back in the early 80's & efforts to retrofit the building have all been cursed. Seems like it never gets off the ground. Several local big money people have bought it with the aim to restore it & then the plans all seem to fall apart...

    The Red Baron

    Bummer! Was hoping that it would at least be a decent go of it. Well I suppose it will show up on AMC in the near future, we'll have to maybe check it out then. Cheers! Dan

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The Thin Man the other night while on the treadmill at the gym. Made for a fun warm up to my workout. Cheers! Dan

    When Old Men Talk/Sacrifices

    Like I alway listen when someone older than I speaks. You never know what part of history they may share & if you remember it they are at least immortal for that much longer. Some stories I've heard from WWII vets have been amazing. The way they tell it, it almost makes you feel as though you...

    Was there a gangster story in your family???

    Well, my Grandfather on my Mothers side used to run numbers in Chicago back in the 20's & 30's, possibly for one of Capone's rackets. Although he didn't have direct contact. I'm finding out, through some of my Pop's dementia ramblings (he's 81 now with Parkinsons), that he ran with a...

    Oxblood Hats...

    That's the tough thing about photographing red colored anything. Red absorbs light & thus takes on a different hue or color altogether. Even the one Johnny Depp wore in "Public Enemy" looked either black or very dark brown in most photographs & it was an oxblood. Cheers! Dan

    Hat advice at the expense of the Fedora Lounge

    Some peoples kids... So, who let him out on a day pass anyway? "Writing lessons" is right. Before he starts throwing stones maybe he should pony-up and show us all a really good example of himself in an "A" outfit instead of pulling examples of others. Oh well, what can you do? We just "own"...

    Groundhog Day 2/2/2010

    Maybe six more weeks of rainy winter weather will raise Nacimiento Lake up to a normal level instead of the piddly 31% it's at now. The last rains raised the lake 24 feet & brought it up to that 31%. So, bring on the rain Phil, I welcome it. Cheers! Dan

    Vintage Eyeglasses

    I've been on the look out for a pair of Algha Windsor frames in about a 40mm size. Silver with the tortuga covering around the frames. They'll be my secondary cary around glasses, since I only need them for reading & computer work. I don't alway carry my regular pair with me. Similar to these...

    Reproduction classic workwear

    Picked up one of these Converse denim shirts the other day at Target. I like the styling of it, it has the throat latch collar, and an darting down the back that creates a slimmer look. Also, it has the higher arm holes I like in my shirts which allows the shirt to move with me. It works...

    The nicest comment I ever heard

    It always feels good to get compliments. I was at the grocery store yesterday (I had on my grey Camptown/Penman Fellow Traveler) and one of our locals that I see around town all the time paid me a kind compliment. He said, "I love that hat! Is that a fedora?" to which I said thank you and yes...

    Robert B. Parker Dead at 77

    Robert B. Parker wrote the books that became the Spencer for Hire series on TV & the movie Appaloosa. For those fans of Spencer for Hire it is a sad curtain fall. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1955691,00.html I likede his writing style, and it seemed to translate well...
