Help! - my left, your right????
One other potential source of confusion - and I'm merely speculating here, it may not play in at all - is that in heraldry, sinister (left) and dexter (right) are always reversed for the observer, as they refer to how things are arranged from the point of view of the person holding a shield - so...- Chanfan

afraid to fly?
Well, I know it was requested to not bring up the old saw about statistics, but that is one of the main reasons flying doesn't particularly bug me fear wise. I know it's safer. Plane accidents are newsworthy precisely because they are rare. Auto accidents, on the other hand, are just fodder for...- Chanfan

The Great Beer Thread
Hmmm, beers I regularly pick up are: 1554 by New Belgian Brewing - a black ale Old Chub and Ten Fidy by Oskar Blues - a scotch ale and an imperial stout, that are packaged in cans. Growlers of 9 lb. Porter from Georgetown Brewery. Alaskan Amber's smoked porter - so far I've liked...- Chanfan

What Did You Drink Last Night?
I had a glass of Monk's Blood, from The 21st Amendment Brewery. Beer Advocate describes it thusly: "Monk's Blood is an 8.3% alcohol, dark Belgian-style ale brewed with eight malts, Belgian candi sugar, cinnamon, vanilla bean, dried local black mission figs and aged on oak for a flavor unlike...- Chanfan

Hats aplenty on the bus
I presume they are like trolleys in effect. In any case, I leave mine on, as typically it's so crowded, that there's little else I could do. Plus, I also think of the bus as a kind of "public space". On the other hand, I tend to stow my hat on planes. On the train, I tend to keep wearing it... -
Hats aplenty on the bus
Just a little observation from a few days ago. I was taking a bus from downtown (Seattle) to a park-and-ride, afternoon rush hour. As has been normal all summer, I've been wearing my Bailey Panama. It's full, so perhaps 50 or so folks on the bus. I noted four baseball caps on the bus... -
Some bad news (now getting better!)
Great news! Good luck with the smoking. A brush with heal issues can be an excellent motivator - worked for me and changing my diet. -

Apple iPhone
Apple is reminding me of Disney in many ways, as company that I both love and hate. On the one hand I love my iPod. I want to replace it with an iPhone. I like Apples general design aesthetic and innovation. I like Macs, I've used them since the first ones, when I ran a lab full of them at...- Chanfan

I HATE HATS!!!
If hats do come into more regular usage, I would expect more folks to become aware of (or to re-implement) hat etiquette. Yes, it may well be updated etiquette, but much of the old etiquette is practical in nature - blocking folks views in a concert, for example. I do doubt that it would... -

Anyone else drink Lophraig?
I'm partial to most of the Islay drams I've tried. I also like Highland Park quite a bit. Oh, who am I kidding - I like the majority of Single Malts. :)- Chanfan

Barbigirl - Injured In Auto Accident (Update: & On The Mend!)
Oh, crap indeed. The universe is perverse sometimes, in it's random happenings. Get well soon, Barbigirl. She took my avatar picture, and got me to show up at my (only so far) FL gathering. So my particular best wishes for a speedy recovery! Let me know if there's anything I can do (being...- Chanfan

Club 33
Wikipedia says: "There are various origins that have been claimed for the name "Club 33." One says that Club 33 was named for Disneyland's 33 sponsors at the time, one of which was Chevron. Another explanation is that Walt Disney chose the name simply because he liked the way "33" looked...- Chanfan
