    Cowboy Boots

    My .10: Lucchese (sp?) are probably the best mass produced boots around. Only thing is, I don't care for exotic leathers. Next down the list is Tony Lama. I have a pair of uber-cool wingtip Tony Llamas I wear on special occasions. Finally would be Justin. I had a pair of bullhide Justin...

    Necktie Knots

    1) I learned in high school; was about the only one in my company in boot camp that could tie a tie. 2) The Double Windsor knot presents a neat, professional appearance IMHO here's a link 3) When tied, cinch the tie itself so there's a slight 'dimple' or crease right below the knot 4)...

    A2 vs. G1

    G-1 without a doubt. Speaking of which, is there anywhere I can get the knit material replaced on a G-1? I have one, but the knit material is threadbare, to be polite.

    Russians on the moon

    All this, of course, is predicated that there's something out there worth getting to. Which thing I don't happen to believe. We went to the Moon. It was a big hunk of rock. Mars and all the others we have info on appear to be the same.
