    What's on your dresser?

    That makes two of us (sort of) My mother got a small Lane cedar chest for her high school graduation too. In Japan in the early 50s she had trays lined with green felt made for it and gave it to my dad. About 15 or so years ago, I went searching, and found one at a furniture dealer. I...

    Grandpa packed... ...a double barreled A.H. Fox shotgun. It sat in a crook behind the front door for years. Back in the day there was no calling for help in the country -- you took care of yourself. Mr Fox dealt loudly with unwanted guests.

    It pays to get a good umbrella... ...If you can keep from losing it, you save $ over time. I have a wood handled model that I've been using consistently for over 15 years. A good umbrella is less likely to fail you when you really need it. If you wear fedoras, it also pays to get a hat...

    The fall of proper restaurant service.

    Our experience is usually pretty good... ...Our local places usually have pretty good service. About the worst we usually see is when you get the young person in training. Some of the local, single location places are quite good.

    What do you use to shave?

    What! No Wallyworld in Hokietown? Wow. You might consider doing the on-line thing. You can get new and used straights, strops, etc. I get my double edge blades at eBay. With shipping they are still under $.10 each. Best of luck whatever you do. I'll say that, since I went to a badger...
