    Looking Back Into History

    I've been bothered by the way people peceive the WW II era in our history. As many of you know I have interviewed military veterans especially fighter aces and written many an article on air combat. Today I see folks seemingly thinking of WW II as almost ancient, perhaps they way I perceive...

    The stray bullets of my conscious mind

    I have similar miscellaneous ramblings from time to time: Days purposefully flow like water in nature, sometimes fast, sometimes slow. There exists in us all a faint d?©j?† vu when we first see any place or thing. It is akin to a collective racial memory somehow. Our dreams take us to...

    Christmas presents: Take the handmade pledge!

    If I don't buy goodies from China this year I'm going to do what kids do when they are broke. They make an IOU like for raking the yard, washing Dad's car, babysitting their sibling free and stuff like that.:)

    Is it The End Of Newspapers?

    Ok, Devil's Advocate- if regular newspapers are in some way doomed to exctintion what about rags like the Enquirer, the Globe and all the trash-news papers? Much of their content could be web posted.

    PET PEEVE HAT

    Re: the fez and pith helmet- all of you imagine your shared disgust for ball caps and picturing seeing fezs and pith helmets instead- Dorkarama!! And I don't mean India and Moracco where you can pass with them. I mean in any European country or the US. As noted on Shriners and mailmen in...

    The Skipper's Hat?

    For sure his caps were black and not navy blue. Don't know more than that except he looked perfect in them!:)

    The myth!

    I worked for a clothier in the 1970s and assisted the buyer. Look EVERY article of clothing they bought was calculated on their buying a spread of sizes that covered the spectrum of customers. This went for suits, shirts, slacks, sweaters, jackets- everything. The vast majority was...

    Hunters Hot Springs, Montana - Phony Photo?

    Yeah the writing is probably the key. I have many photos from that exact era and I believe every one is written in cursive with no printing at all.

    The myth!

    Well if 70% of men were 38r-42r all the smaller, taller, wider and heavier would comprise the remaining 30% each being a minority. Tall is one niche big and tall is another while big is different yet. Each is a smaller % when compared to the 38r-42r.

    Pursuit of Happiness via Netflix. Kind of a downer for a while but Will Smith did a great job with it.

    Dare I start a thread on vintage Beer signs?

    Distribution in the 50s on many brands was non-existant. St. Louis, the home of Busch of course had Budweiser and Busch. All else found in mainstream taverns and stores was Falstaff, Stag, Pabst and Schlitz. We never heard of Coors. Saw Hamms catchy "from the land of sky blue water..."...
