    Made in China

    I used to get suits made from measurements alone from Hong Kong in the 60s-70s. They were probably about $20-30 then. I remember one was a medium blue silk sharkshin the made me look like a mafia hitman. The suits would arrive very tightly roll folded in a very small package in a few weeks.

    Hawaiian Shirts - Aloha Shirts

    Hawaiian shirts are great! While I have no really vintage ones many of the newer ones retain the theme of the old ones. Thrift shops is a great place to find them.

    Make Do and Mend

    My particular pecadillo is car dealer "mechanics." While I have avoider dealer repair there have been times when ony they could analyze some esoteric system my independent mechanic could not. The car dealers do not attempt to repair anything in a car they simply bolt in new parts. They are...

    Your Favorite Years? What time period do you follow?

    Ah, my favorite years were the 50s and 60s. I grew up in St. Louis and most of the buildings and houses remain the same as they were then, locked in a 30s-40s time warp. My best recollections were of the cars. On my block there was a black and white 55 Buick convertable a light blue 57 Ford...

    History Channels dog fights, B-17

    Just for those who love the "Big Friends" here's an article I did several years ago. CRIMSON SKIES Two months later the Mustangs would have made a difference. Four months later there would have been four P-51B groups with men like Don Blakeslee, Glen Eagleston and Don Gentile to watch out...

    Have We Lost Trust With The Movies?

    Happyfilmguy- I believe you are on target. Look it's ALL been done before. Plots, ideas and stories cease to be original when an indusrty is continually reinventing itself. I have countless times watched something and immediately figured out the plotline simply because it was similar to...

    Have You Ever Met A Movie/TV Star or Celebrity?

    Ran into Robert Ito of Quincy fame in a 7-11 in Alhambra California. Can't think of any others after all my time in the area though.

    Borat

    Saw it last nite via Netflix. We got laughs out of it. It was a campy enterprise like Blair Witch, apart from the norm in its concept. One thing for certain they'll never be a Borat 2 since everybody is onto the scam. The wierd thing is that we must acknowledge is that there are people...

    I carry a minumum of $300 in a wallet with a "secret" compartment and usually $10-40 elsewhere. I used to carry about $600 when I was in the business world. And I carry a debit card.

    B-17 and the B-24

    A B-24 and B-17 were at Long Beach a few years ago and I got to climb through them. Not a fun place to be for 8-10 hour missions especially when Jerry was lobbing cannon shells at you.;)

    Norton Internet Security 2006 SUCKS

    Any antivirus has to scan the entire HD at least once to find anything. My Norton regularly warns me about junk attempting to invade. But as mentioned the damned music licenses will not get through any filter. You'd think they'd be able to write software that could discern the difference...

    Buying A Digital Camera? Here's Help.

    One thing for certain is get a camera with rechargable lithium ion batteries. The ones that take AA are no good. Even Ni-cad rechargables don't last!
