    The Rat Patrol

    May not have been real historically accurate but it was an entertaining show! Christopher George and Erik Brayden I recall.....

    EXchange names for phone numbers

    In 1950s St. Louis it was common and less expensive to have a party line. I don't know the maximum there could be but I think we probably shared the line with only one other residence.

    Do you really want them "Waterproof"?

    No leather jacket I've owned in the past had chemical treatment. Unless you are standing in rain all day how is it going to hurt the coat? Conditioners like you'd use on a car's leather seats aren't goint to hurt but aren't going to make you able to repell more water either.

    Too many brown hats?....

    Seems like you need a gray and a brown. Beyond that is sort of preference and coordination with whatever clothes you wear. You may not ever need a black or tan.

    Help with a lovely lady...

    Try searches with different key words like: vintage, movie star, starlet, photo or anything else you can recall that might get you back to the site. Try Google image search too.

    Vintage car observation.

    Saw a very perfect 1933 Hupmobile a few months ago at one of the cruise-ins. Pretty rare now.

    What's on your bookshelf?

    Well since I write about the era I have about 500 books on WW 2 mostly combat aviation. When I remember a quote I need it becomes quite difficult to recall which book it is to be found in so I can use it in a bibliography.

    IN THE EVENT YOU WIN THE LOTTERY

    Like Biltmore Bob said hats would be quite secondary if I won the lotto big. Cars! :)

    The $10 Panama

    Good going! Ebay is weird sometimes. Stuff you think will bid up gets away at rock bottom prices and vice versa. I gotta find me a straw of somekind to use when I sit outside at car shows.

    New Chrysler Imperial

    I never owner a Chrysler product. Too much fear from when I was a kid and the 40s-50s cars were so cheezy as described by adults around me.;)

    Back when I could drink beer it was Budweiser for an amber, Corona occassionally, with XX or XXX, Modelo Negra, or Bohemia for darker stuff.

    Were Servicepeople Allowed to Keep It?

    That's what was in those duffle bags everybody had slung over their shoulders- clothes.:)

    30's~40's Work Boots

    Why don't anyone use the old standard Wellingtons? They've been around in the same mode forever. The one that are not real tall, barely calf height. They ain't cowboy boots either. They're timeless.

    King Kong Sea Captain's hat

    I've worn a couple inexpensive, $8-12, blue 'Skipper' hats for several years purchased at surplus stores. Greek Fisherman's caps have several colors and a couple slightly different styles and look good. Not too dressy but not an danged ballcap either.

    The Populace Really Can't be this Stupid

    "make sure engine if off before installing" I can imagine how this one came about. A mechanic walks to the back of the shop all disheveled and bloody to tell his co-workers, " Lemme give ya a little tip about these fan belts.....":) :)

    It's all in the attitude

    Was at the doctor's yesterday and saw a black man 65-70 with a fedora similar to a Dobbs-type, black with 2" brim. He had casual clothes on. I told him, "nice hat!" and his wife answered, "I been trying to get him to quit wearing it." I told him I had a couple at home and to keep wearing is...

    Can you wear your hat in YOUR vehicle?

    Just tried it in our 96 El Dorado Touring Coupe. Plenty of room once in there but not for getting in and out with hat on- ducking required. I drive with the seat all the way down and all the way back too. Raising it if I was shorter would cut headroom severely.:cool2:

    The Populace Really Can't be this Stupid

    It's pretty widespread that hair dryers have disclaimers that read "Warning! Do not use in the shower." Guess that's for those in a big hurry.:cool:
