    Self Rediscovery

    I'm with my Lawyer. Billy Jean. In the staff chow hall of a "super max" prison. She's mentally abusing the warden. Blowing cigarette smoke in his face as he's fumbling for an asthma inhaler. Coyly reminding him that he is a bought and paid for lackey. Rubbing it in that he is a puppet...

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    As I recall, the last time that I bought Dr. Martens, they retailed around $80. And you could get them on sale. Some stores had coupons. Even adjusted for inflation, $260 is a little high.

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    You can just buy another pair of Dr. Martens. Or Solovair. I would lean towards Solovair since they appear to be made a little better, for lower cost. But I get that people want the yellow stitches. And at $260, there are a lot of boot options. A lot of better constructed boots, using...

    Self Rediscovery

    Thursday nights. As expected, I was sitting at the end of the bar. One ear listening to the gossip. The other ear on the jukebox. Disco was dead. Except in Italy. Who knew at the time, that those songs, and the singers, would live on for another 40 years? From my perch at the end of The...

    What's for Dinner?

    "You can put pizza cheese on a taco?" Sure. Why not? We'll just call them Chinatown tacos. The truth was that I ran out of the taco cheese, and all that I had left was the pizza cheese. It's still edible.

    What's the lead time for Brian Truong? How long do you have to wait, from the time you order the boots, to delivery? Does Brian The Bootmaker ask for the full payment upfront?

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    In the modern world, there are guys online who cut shoes in half. We're often told by online influencers that Dr. Martens are inferior when it comes to materials and construction. Part of me suspects that online influencers promote certain products because they are paid to do so. Part of...

    What's for Dinner?

    This gives me roast beef for dinner, lunch meat for sandwiches, tacos, stir fry.......... I can trim the fat, or leave some fat on. All that it needs is salt & pepper. Sometimes I just eat pieces of beef, because I want to eat pieces of beef. It's well done at the tips. That's the part...

    Self Rediscovery

    "What are you doing?" Oil. Mink oil. I put it on my shoes. You've never seen that before? "No. Not the shoes. The bread. From out of nowhere, you just decide to make bread? I've never seen you make bread. What is that all about? How do you know how to bake bread? What else are...

    The 80s, myth and reality?

    That was a part of a "package deal". They sold us the movie, the music, the fashion......... Today, you can't think of the film, without remembering the songs, or hear the songs without thinking about the film. Then deny that you ever wore those clothes, or had the hair...

    Self Rediscovery

    Prejudice. We prejudge people. We all do. It's human nature. We judge each other based on the way we look. We prejudge based on appearances. It's just the way that the world is. Some of us consciously present an image of ourselves, so that the world can see us the way that we want to be...

    Cowboy Boots

    I agree. The worst part is that manufacturers have different lasts. And the shoe size will vary. There is no real standard. Everyone has seen those foot measurement devices at shoe stores. But manufacturers do not use that foot measurement device as a guide. My personal experience has...

    The 80s, myth and reality?

    Just in case anyone does not know, the blonde girl playing sax is Candy Dulfer from The Netherlands. She is also an 80's icon.

    The 80s, myth and reality?

    Mr. Escovedo's little girl. Tito Puente's God Daughter. Nicole Richie's Auntie. Here in Chinatown, Ms. E. from Oakland was already a legend. Everyone already knew her Pops, and her uncle Coke. In 1984, the rest of the world got to know her music. 40 years later, I don't know if I'm...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Bicycle riders are supposed to follow the same rules of the road. The motor vehicle code applies to bicycles when it comes to speed limits, yielding to pedestrians and emergency vehicles, and obeying traffic control devices. Around here, bicycle riders feel that they have the absolute right of...

    Cowboy Boots

    Just a guess. If the inside of the shoe measures 12", then maybe a foot up to 11.5" would fit. It could be more like a size 12 or 13.
