Shutter Island (2009)
I saw... ...that, but presumed I missed her holding the glass. I didn't want to ask my wife to backtrack for something so small. I thought the movie was OK. I practically cried over that beautiful car.- Mid-fogey

Instant nausea inducement
As I indicated... …I don’t know anything about these Hipster folks. Frankly, I don’t have a dog in the hunt. What is be said about them may be true or not regardless of what the Hipsters want to believe about themselves. Much of the discussion here seems to be regarding Hipster attitude...- Mid-fogey

Instant nausea inducement
Living as I am... ... in the trough between being too old for this stuff and having a daughter that’s too young for it, this is all news to me. Since I work on a military base with senior officers and civilians, I don’t know a bit about these folks. I had noted a certain Maynard G. Krebs look...- Mid-fogey

Show Us Your Vintage Groceries!
With much... ...modern packaging the emphasis is on recyclability, light weight to keep down shipping costs, or display. When something isn’t packed that way it stands out. I got some Allen Edmunds shoes and the boxes were ornate, and my wife bought me a shaving brush from England and it...- Mid-fogey

What we've lost since the Golden Era
Look again... …at the mere fact that there so many articles about it that point out it’s unusual. Most of the articles either say our imply it is undesirable. Just the title “Failure to Launch” tells the story. Failure. The implication is that there is a pattern you should follow –...- Mid-fogey

1904 Wind chord, NYC.
I guess... ...he doesn't want to lose his boater as that blazing fast electric omnibus streaks across the city. I wonder if people at that time thought wind cord users were dorks. -
What we've lost since the Golden Era
If what we... …are speaking about here is continuing to live with parents as a mature adult, then that what we lost since the golden era is accepting that as a perfectly valid way to live one’s life. What was once considered noble and acceptable has become stigmatized. My great aunt...- Mid-fogey

Shoe polish is becoming flaky?
Yes... ...you can remove the old polish. Get a small bottle of dry cleaning fluid. You can usually get it at shoe repair places. Be careful to cap it tightly when you aren't using it -- it evaporates really fast. Dampen a small cloth with the fluid and work it over the shoe, moving to a...- Mid-fogey

Show Us Your Vintage Groceries!
I'm wondering... ...what those products would have looked like new. It seems like some of the colors have faded with time, but it's hard to tell if you didn't know what they looked like in the first place. How do you know?- Mid-fogey

seersucker suits
I've had... …seersucker suits forever. My current one is a Brooks Brothers model that I bought at the end of the season. I’ve never had the trousers hemmed, and so have never worn it as a suit. I typically wear it with navy slacks, a white shirt and a straw fedora. I’ve always intended... -

Roadtrip
Back in... 1967 our whole family spent a Summer week driving from Virginia to California. My Dad was taking command of a battalion and going to Vietnam. We made the trip in a black 1958 Oldsmobile without air conditioning (natch), so our parents got us up at 0 dark thirty and put us in the...- Mid-fogey

Boater faction!
Actually... ...as you look at the picture, there are a number of interesting variants in there. Just goes to show you that things are never as "standard" as people seem to to think.
