The safest state to live
I've often considered moving to a safer state entirely... our state's capital city has gone from one of the best places to live (crime and cost of living factored together), to one of the least safest in the country...- m0nk

Vintage Stetson Diplomat 7 1/8 needs TLC
Thanks, I see the pics now. Inside is definitely kinda rough, though I think the liner does agree that it's around 40's-ish...- m0nk

First Pipe Experience
After a while, you'll get the feel for tamping it just right to have a long, even smoke without having to re-light so often. If you have to light too often, the bowl will get hot and not smoke as nicely. That was something I didn't pick up on right away so I almost stopped smoking a pipe after...- m0nk

All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette
I personally try to follow as many of the former rules of etiquette as possible, just because I feel it's important to still have some sense of structure and respect. Without certain social niceties, we begin the descent into wearing sweatpants and t-shirts to work... My opinion is also that... -

Moments of Doubt...
Personally, the only vintage items I own are a couple of hats. I wear a variety of fedoras, but modern dress clothing. However, I also have times where I wonder why I wear hats and dress nicely, and will go days without wearing one of my hats or a suit. But I've also recognized how...- m0nk

Coffee, grind your own?
I used to roast my own as well. I figured if I was going to go through the trouble of grinding it, I wanted to be truly fresh (inside the two week time-frame) so I used to roast every other week and wait at least one day before grinding and drinking. And for those beans, I would only grind...- m0nk

Price of Gas
Yeah, the last gas war I remember was around '97, the town I lived in was getting a new Wawa (local version of a large mini-mart, sandwich shop, and gas station rolled into one) in the vicinity of two other gas stations. The gas war brought the price down to $.69/gallon! Man, I miss those days...- m0nk

Dashboard Confessional -- What Home Remedy Have You Used to Re-Shape A Hat?
I've only used innovation when trying a new crease on the crown, and haven't tried anything on the brim yet (though I might give the serving spoon a try). What I've done is opened the crown, stuffed it full of some sort of cloth until it was packed full, spritzed with water, smoothed out... -
Aging beautifully and gracefully, then vs now: Who did it better?
Up until the 70's, environment also didn't play quite the same role in aging. It's been proven that people's skin has been affected by poor air quality, and more processed foods causes such a wide range of ailments that the population scrambles to make up for it with even more synthetic means...- m0nk

Happy Birthday Akubra
I have 3 Akubras and do like them quite a bit, but I agree that it they could do so much more with the city market, especially if they expanded their international advertising and sales.
