    Would you rather live then or now?

    My father is in his 60's, he was born in the late 30's, good health. My Grandmother was born in 1898, old but otherwise good health. My Father In Law is in his 70s and fought in the Pacific in WWII, good health too. The list goes on. My point is that these folks were born and lived through...

    Would you rather live then or now?

    I would live in the 30s, yes, in a heartbeat... I have no special skills, I was a Marine, I was a Cop, I am a dog trainer...all skills that could have easily have made me a living in the 30's.

    JerseyJones/Camptown

    No big deal. This is how I do it, I soak the crown in warm water to about an inch from the ribbon. I shape the crown to the desired (teardrop) shape, trying it on several times until I get the right result and let dry upsidedown overnight. Next morning, viola, a nicley shaped and creased...

    Hat shop blues

    Location, location, location... As stated, that must be it. In Houston, at either Miller or The Hat Store, a cusotmer that acted like that would be asked to leave (I think). Whenever I visit either of these stores I don't see bratty kids or spoiled tourists, what I see are knowledgable hat...

    Hat shop blues

    When I go into a hat store... It's usually me and a bunch of old black guys that are the customers. Those old black guys treat the hats for sale with respect. The salesman at Miller stands with the customer while he tries on the hat, ready to retrieve it at a moments notice.

    Iraqi Constitution...

    Not that any Jew would want to be an Iraqi citizen... But, I'm starting to revise my opinion of the war. Not that I think it's not just and reasonable. And not that I don't think the Iraqi goverment does'nt have the right to develop their own constitution, but...I can't quite lay my finger on...

    Walked into a gent's shop today...

    As some here know I have been wearing 8 1/4 caps for some time now. I just don't see anybody where I live wearing them. Most of the girls that I come in contact with just adore the caps. Comments like "I wish my boyfriend/husband would wear a cap like that" are common. And, yes, quite uplifting.

    "Violent Extremism"

    Plato does not score very high with me. I like ya' Joe, but you know me, my filter is the Bible. Yeah I know, that makes me a kook that is weak and can't think for himself, blah blah, blah.... I would rather place my faith in Jesus than Galileo or Plato. Why is it that most nonbelievers...
