My first Mallory...
Very well done, Spiridon. I'm on an enforced hat-buying-hiatus right now. :( -
Espresso and French Press?
As do I. I'm not quite life-or-death without coffee, but I'm pretty close. I've found that my favorite bean is a Guatemalan Organic Coban Maragogype, something about it is just so good. But, hey, that's just me.;)- RedPop4

I am right there with Elaina and Girl Friday on page 2 of this thread. So much of humor, in our day and time, is sarcasm or really, quite dry. If not punctuated with the emoticon, then it's taken seriously and often deemed an offense rather than the joke it's intended to be. I know from my...- RedPop4

The Death of the Gentleman
Well stated, Marc...tastefully dressed. Thomas Jefferson may have been classified a farmer, but Virginia "farmers" of his day and time were anything but. He owned the property, but he and his like certainly didn't do much work, that's why they had slaves.:mad: :( :( See Stephen Ambrose's...- RedPop4

What's your number one Fedora...your everyday hat?
I'm beginning to come to this conclusion, as well. I have a wool Dorfman-Pacific Indy, that's my grab-and-go hat with just about anything EXCEPT when I'm in blue/gray colors. When I'm in blue-gray colors I reach for my $8.75 Stetson (thanks ebay) -

Cool, more of our "tech generation" realizing value of face-to-face
VERY true, Twitch. I've seen both sides of this on web forums. Thankfully most of the folk here seem to be persons of culture and courtesy. The people at Cigar Weekly are, on the whole, good folks too. But as a moderator, there, I've run into the bad apples too. :( :( :( But the...- RedPop4

URGENT WARNING!!! YOU MAY NEVER LOOK AT YOUR LID IN THE SAME WAY AGAIN
I'm from Louisiana. YES, that's all they are. Ugly fat rats with HUGE ORANGE teeth. They're herbivores, so they contribute to coastal erosion, erosion of the wetlands, and when they come into the urban/suburban area, they eat the grasses on canal banks and tunnel under roadways causing them to... -
A Return to American Craftmanship
Unfortunately, with two children in Catholic school and bills, my family MUST be price conscious when we buy. Or I do without, mostly doing without. A hat from Art, or Steve is nowhere on my radar. Yes, any rational, sane person, would prefer a sturdier mousetrap, but when the price is...- RedPop4

Espresso and French Press?
I am, doubtless, the same way. I will also sacrifice a bit of caffeine for a jolt of flavor from a dark roast coffee. Despite the lack of flavor from medium to light roasts, and then weak brewing methods, lighter roasts retain more of their caffeine. You can roast out a small percentage of...- RedPop4

Espresso and French Press?
I'd consider tea over instant, too. However the caffeine kick isn't the same with tea,at least it isn't in my experience.- RedPop4

Wow, that's terrible. Prayers up for them. Insurance NEVER delivers what it promises despite the premiums paid. This is truly horrible.:( -

Espresso and French Press?
Many espresso blends....they're not espresso. Espresso is a method of making coffee.....have second rate robusta beans in them. Often, they're the beans that give the coffee that crema which so many associate with a finely turned out cup of espresso. I'm pleased to hear that you all have had...- RedPop4

College Football!
Go to hell Gators, but otherwise you are ABSOLUTELY right. "Hey fightin' Tiger, fight all the way, hey fightin' Tiger win the game today...." I was proud of the Saints last night, and I like the Saints and the NFL, but my heart is Purple and Gold and I'd take a rainy night in Tiger Stadium...- RedPop4

The American Abroad - How to polish up the image?
I do good to others, or aim to, so they will do good to me. Will they? Not as much of that in our day and time, but I still try to reap what I sow.- RedPop4

The American Abroad - How to polish up the image?
It's tough because that Ugly American syndrome is a stereotype, now. Stereotype being based in truth; why is it that Americans dare not stereotype for fear of contempt? Yet others may do so and it's the Americans that must adapt? I've traveled and lived in other nations, I love doing it. I...- RedPop4
