    Do You Recycle?

    Lincsong, truly the cities are making the real money on this. Also it would be very curious to see how much actual aluminum really becomes cans again from the city trash/recylcling. We happily picture recycling as a truckload of cans being dumped into a furnace that melts them and then the...

    Vintage Theaters

    The Crest In Long Beach was around a long time http://jpg1.lapl.org/pics34/00036923.jpg I grew up in this ornate theater in St. Louis http://cinematreasures.org/theater/934/ http://www.buildingmuseum.org/recovery/project_granada.asp

    Is it okay to be patriotic?

    Patriotism is fine. But like any vice or virtue it can be overdone to the point of annoyance. Moderation in all things is best.

    Fedora wearers and rude behavior

    The only "fedora" wearers I see are actually wearing Panamas in the summer at classic car shows. These same guys do NOT wear felt fedoras in the winter however. But there are lots of Panama and straw fedora wearers around here in warm weather. They are a cross section of guys just as assorted...

    eBay Can Be Hell

    I can't bid on vintage clothing items beyond hats due to the fact that sizes are off. A large then ain't a large now. I've given away the things I received and were too small. :( -A 46 was more like a 42- And my post cancer meds left me like the old heavy Elvis compared to the young thin Elvis...

    Public Transportation- You Use It?

    Miss Neecerie you hit the L.A. nail on the head. I've heard that from several folks about the actual cost and extra time versus their own car. My wife works 2 miles away so the car is logical. I used to be in outside sales and had a company car. I worked one place for many years that was...

    Refrigerators..What is your experience? RATINGS?

    Well we had a side by side Western Auto brand built by Amana I think that went 33 years! Had the defroster coil thingy fixed/replaced twice too. Got a 25 foot Kenmore last year with water and ice maker. It's OK but the old 25 sq. ft. fridge actually had better space usage in my opinion.[huh]

    The Home Front... GAS RATIONING.

    The problem with hydrogen is that it takes $1.10 worth of energy to produce $1.00 of actual fuel. A "old car guy" I know recently retired from a corporation that was endeavouring to produce a viable hydrogen manufacturing method. All the pie in the sky stuff is great but prototypical use is...

    Public Transportation- You Use It?

    Just wondering these days if anyone truly uses it on a regular basis like to get to work. Some cities lend themselves to its ease like NYC while others like L.A. do not. We see so much public transportation depicted in old movies but it was at a time when economics disallowed the ubiquitous...

    Hat placement

    I find there is no one position to wear a hat all day. You can't. Mine will go from way down in front seemingly just above the eyebrows to popped way back on my head.:fedora:

    I just recieved a great comment about my hat...

    I usually simply hear the "nice hat!" comment regularly and that's good enough for me.:)

    Best time machine movie

    Upon revisiting this thread I have to add that as far as the movies about time travel I'd have to say that the original Time Machine with Rod Taylor for 1960 was an influence on me as it instilled the concept that there are a wealth of possibilities out there.:D

    Post-Best-Buy-Syndrome

    Mike, you're right. I mentioned in another thread that I seldom bother with brick and mortar stores anymore due the above-mentioned reasons that all have voiced. I have finally learned to check Ebay 1st and save myself the dialoge with Eddie Haskell a the local Crapmart.:D

    Need a bit of auction advice

    Rosie I see that high shipping versus cost of item often enough to realize that folks are definitely padding their profits. Perhaps in this case there was a mistake made on the part of the seller but $14 could be accurate on a heavier item shipped a long distance. I don't think so though...

    Free, Fair and Open Elections

    I would never fix an election. But I will soon probably no longer vote...again. After Vietnam I didn't vote out of disrespect to all politicians of all parties until I was 40. I have voted since but did not make a presidential choice in the last election between dumb and dumber. I decided a...
