    This wool doesn't look like wool.

    99.999% of the people seeing it on you couldn't tell the difference and don't know anything about fur versus wool in hat use.

    Vintage Car Accoutrements

    In the Mid-west we called them "neckers' knobs" cause they allowed one armed driving while the other was around your girl. Ebay has vintage ones. I found one for the Packard and it is useful.

    Nerd Alert III: Sarah Connor Chronicles

    I'm liking it as well. It is plausibly keeping in relative tune with the movies. Things you'd expect as reasonable occurances happen and it fits nicely into the plot and script.:)

    Celestial Navigation

    The ancients navigated by the constellations before compasses existed along with the North star because after observing their movement for decades or even 100s of years it is possible to move across the water at night keeping the ever-moving constellations in relative bearings. By doing that...

    Here's some more info on it. It was accepted for prodution before the end and probably would have beenin service as fast as they came off the line, probably 3 more months. HO 229 With the 1942 requirement in mind for a jet bomber, the Horten brothers took three full years to put together...

    The Pace of Life in the Golden Era...vs. today

    Lizzie mentions the trend to move closer to the city again but out here and in most medium-large metropolitan areas these so-called reclaimed inner city properties are horrendously expensive relative to anything. They have bachelor pad size condos/apartment/lofts/dwellings that are tiny yet...

    Prostate exams

    Foofoogal- Have your bro check those site links. The doctor that does the HIFU proceedure is in Miami. And remember. Medical costs are all written off on income taxes. This proceedure costs but it's win-win on taxes. You know how your tax guy always asks if you had any medical expenses over...

    The Pace of Life in the Golden Era...vs. today

    My grandmothers were born in about 1896 and welcomed modern conveniences and no illusions that there was anything good about "the good old days." I used to hear them say how much better it was to live when they did (50s-70s)over the early the early part of the 1900s. The one thing I vividly...

    Anything in the coming months that you are excited for?

    I'm hoping against hope for better health in the coming months. I'm not going into the gory details but when I get a couple more hurdles out of the way I'll get on the surgeon's list of operations which will probably be 10 weeks out.:)

    Cold/Cough Remedies?

    Honey helps since it is so similar to the thick cough syrups in viscosity. A zillion years ago when I worked at Road & Track the publisher, John Bond, told me what his doctor told him for a cough. It was simply, take sips as needed from Robitussin.[huh]

    Prostate exams

    Attention dorks! Do I have your attention? Good. There is absolutely nothing humorous about prostate cancer. As some of you know I have fought it for the past 4 years and killed the cancer twice now. Forget the finger test. There are some ignorant doctors, not urologists, who think...

    Music/Bands you think are really pushing the bounds these days

    Having worked for years closely with music artists to produce their CD artwork and replication of their music I agree that there are MANY people as good and usually better than ANYONE being played on the airwaves today. It becomes a game of luck and any accidental contacts you make. Nothing...
