    Twenty six bucks for a hat....BOX?

    This is simply why items get elevated in price in every category. A few jamokes pump up the price and idiots pay. Then a standard is set and we're off and running. It's far worse with old cars. One guy spends 8 years restoring a 54 Chevy to factory new condition with every nut and bolt era...

    What would you wear?

    I believe its entirely dependent on who is originating the invitation. If it is from someone in their 20s focusing on other 20-30 something folks they're not going to arrive in suits ans cocktail dresses. If it was sent by a corporate head for a get together of upper management or junior...

    Walmart encounter

    It's kinda sounds relative to the geogrophy. That guy in fatigues would be in sync in, say, the southern US at a rural Walmart. You overcoat would not be out of place in the colder climes of the northeast. Where was this encounter?

    Geatest designs of WWII

    Have to interject something I wrote a while back- "I'm talking about mass production quality control which American auto manufacturers led the world in. Nowhere else in the world did any vehicle industry produce the number of units with the attendantly stable quality as in the US. RR was a...

    U-864 toxic cargo

    The theory is that the murcury was associated with nuclear enrichment processes. The Japanese used centrifuges to glean fissionable material from uranium. And there were many other Germany/Japan trips by subs. The U-234 that was enroute to Japan at the collapse of Germany surrendered to the...

    APOCALYPTO

    As mentioned, there have recently been some excellent programs covering the Mayans and Aztecs with superb computer reconstructions of the cities and buildings. An hour is a rather compact amount of time to cover everything but makes for a sufficient chunk for the average viewer. I've always...

    Sunglasses that work well with a Fedora?

    I wear a Wayfarer style with blue-blocker lenses. Makes for better vision when driving the Packard and they fit in era-wise.

    DOGFIGHTS

    If anyone hasn't seen this superb series on the History Channel check it out. It's on Dish at 7PM Fridays. That may be 10PM on your cable or Direct TV. I have interviewed some of the men on these shows and the computer graphics used completely allows one to visualize the combats they...

    Geatest designs of WWII

    It is remarkable that WW II and the late 30s produced so many recognizable aircraft. The P-51 is, to me, a better Spitfire in design beauty. The Spit is unique and never mistaken for anything else though. The P-38 is pretty universal in recognition too. The B-17 says "bomber." The Flying...

    Dialogue Making Me Crazy

    There are lots of veiled dialogues used as tributes to other works that the writers or directors sneak into things all the time. I've seen many oblique references to other movies that only the fans of thoses movies would get. They're just little hidden teasers it seems.

    Tuskegee Airmen

    Exactly Mr. Sable. If the movie stimulated people to seek out books and other forms of historically accurate information on the Airmen then it did a service to these guys.

    APOCALYPTO

    I am a writer/editor of historical air combat. I have yet to see a movie concerning combat aircraft or general war movies that I can't find inaccurate details in. That doesn't mean I can't enjoy and escape in the fictional storyline even if it is modified from actual history. Movies, even...

    For your consideration: The comeback of the hat?

    I'm kinda with Matt. I'd like higher crown wider brims to gain some popularity. I personally like wearing those more too.

    This isn't art, this is the magic of Photoshop

    I rather see a wiggly 56 Chevy than most of the horsecrap that passes as art.
