    Should I, or shouldn't I?

    Certainly there were few Blaupunkt radios of any kind around in the US till about the 1970s. You'd only find AM/FM Blaupunkts in Mercedes autos in the 1960s and never an AC table or console model. They simply didn't have any dealer/distributor network back then. It ought to be worth having...

    How do you store your hats?

    Keep 8 felts in boxes but for space sake 2 per box. My 3 straws are on the closet shelf.

    The loss of occasion

    Many valid points to ponder. Very good input all. I have just relived it all once again at a the funeral this weekend of one our vintage car friends. Out of some 100 people I was one of only 2 with an actual suit and tie. There were a couple spots coats but by and large it was casual to...

    Stumbling Upon Fabulous Movies

    I found spending time perusing Netflix listings will reveal many bygone movies that you completely forgot about until you see them described again. You get that "oh yeah, THAT movie," spark and can't wait to see it once more.:)

    Vintage Books and Magazines

    Pink Dahlia -and everyone- yes the local library branches purge from time to time and while most of the stuff is not vintage the prices are very low. I've picked up quite a few volumes that way.:)

    The loss of occasion

    Geez don't get your panties in a bunch and create paranoid delusions. What dnjan was referring to and I was agreeing with is the fact that full dress military occassions are timeless in their traditional visual taste. A parade or funeral illustrates how utterly perfect dress uniforms and...

    Vintage Heat?

    Yep slow, heavy rounds don't necessarily kill immediately. They are fight stoppers which incapacitate. Our Marine unit was issued .45s and at times we found them invaluable in close in combat. In many respects they were better than long arms given the scenarios.

    Today's Classic Films

    Most have named the probables that will be viewed in the future with enthusiasm I believe. In fact they are pseudo-classic now. Since we enjoy so many channels for viewing we see these not-too-old movies run pretty often. That tells us something right there. Many of these are the ones that...

    Vintage Heat?

    Yeah Carebear, I have run the gambit of FBI, law enforcement agency and independent tests on calibers like many have but the .45 ACP has the best track record in documented real world encounters by law enforcement agencies. I have a Glock 9mm I shoot too. It resides alongside my S&W .44 in...

    The Good Shepard

    No he played a wooden, humorless zombie like Damon. In fact every character in the flick acted like robot.:eusa_doh:

    What makes this place so special...

    The draw for me is that coming here you don't have to be assaulted by a bunch of gomers on soap boxes futilly arguing about politics and trading childish insults.

    Can I consider myself a Whippet owner?

    Jerekson if the fret of the lack of the Whippet moniker can't be overcome you can send the hat to me.;)

    Reindeer Finish?

    I would visualize the fuzzy animal hair look finish as well from that description.[huh]

    Making a hat...smaller?

    The only other admittedly cheezy solution is single sided, 1" foam rolls that you can stick around the entire sweatband itself.[huh]

    Where do you hang your hat?

    I'll just sit my hat on an unused portion of the table or another chair. No, I worry about getting food on it. I'm not that sloppy! Only time I keep it on is if the table is full and I'm with vintage car guys at an eats place during a show. Most of them keep their hats and caps on inside.

    Vintage Heat?

    .44 Mag and other high speed calibers go through people and often cause suprisingly little immediate damage not to mention the going through the wall and you neighbors wall. The .45 is slow and devestating. I opt for a .44 special with a lower powder charge in lieu of the .45 ACP. That is...
