    cow milk fedora

    Casein dates back many centuries when it was used as a binder for paints -- paint with casein applied to 14th and 15th century churches still appears bright and unfaded. Proteins are obtained from skim milk, evaporated milk and condensed milk. There are about three pounds of casein in every...

    T-Shirts in the 1930s - 1940s

    Yes. If you want to see it from a British perspective, rent 'A Hard Day's Night' from 1964. Remembering that those four lads radically changed styles beginning that year in America with the release of that film, one gets to see some real squares as they contrast with the 'british invasion' of...

    How to Win Friends and Influence People

    Personally, I have always loved Ayn Rand's, 'The Virtue of Selfishness', because of it's stick in your eye title. Once one actually reads the book and discovers her premise, one discovers the virtue of rational self-interest that underscores her entire philosophy of Objectivism. What a...

    How to Win Friends and Influence People

    I've always had a struggle with this work. Although I agree with the sentiment; it would great to win friends and influence people on all occasions and under all circumstances, but it just seems artificial to me. I've always thought people should be just who they are, acting sincerely in...

    USAF Outerwear Photos 1946-1955

    Which prompts the query; when did the Army, USAAF, and newly formed USAF begin with the addition of 'scrambled eggs' on the cap brim? The only military cap in WWII with such a device was Gen. Douglas MacArthur, and his was a Philippine Army issue. Any ideas on this one? -dixon cannon

    Opie/Cowboys and Indians

    The film that inspired my C&I play was the Disney film, "TONKA" with Sal Mineo. I saw that as a kid and was duly impressed. My Dad bought me the Golden Book, complete with pictures from the film. I remember being amazed at the clarity of the photos and the realism of the scenes...

    Opie/Cowboys and Indians

    H. Rackham's 1914 translation: Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes...

    I know this - I live in a cowboy town and it's tough to find real denim shirts that still have those pearl buttons! Cambray blue shirts sometimes, but real demim - tough! -dixon 'pearl button' cannon

    Wearing a wrist watch on the underside of your wrist

    It was my understanding that pilots began wearing their wristwatches face in when aircraft began using yoke controls rather than joystick. Holding the yoke with the left hand, while the right hand was on the engine controls gave the pilot an unobstructed view of his watch and sweep second hand...

    What are you listening to?

    The soundtrack CD from the movie "Duets" with Huey Lewis and Gwyeth Paltrow. Their individual and duo tracks are incredible! Gwyeth could be a professional singer in her own right! Check it out. -dixon cannon

    More important things than politics.

    Frankly - I prefer politics! Maybe too much "Jay Letterman O'brien" is the cause of our societal debacle. If we had that kind of interest in politics and political debate we wouldn't have allowed such a downward spiral. Perhaps we've made television comedy an escape from the...
