NO BASEBALL CAPS.

Unless you're (A). A baseball player engaged in the legitimate excercise of your sport.
Or (B) Under the age of twelve.

Have you any idea how expensive real estate is on Mackinac? We're talking Hampton's prices in Michigan.

I have Amish friends who are, shall we say, bemused by my embrace of the obsolete.


You know, there are any number of towns here in southern Michigan along the Ohio border which are depopulating, even though they have good transportation and communication access, places built between the 'Sixties and 'Oughts where time stopped during the Nixon administration, and where real estate is incredibly cheap.


Just a suggestion.

(A) should also apply to tracksuits.

Sidebar: Situations where baseball caps are allowed: 12 and under (I would stretch that to 14 or 15, but we'll sidestep that issue for the moment), actual baseball players of any age, fishermen in a rowboat, canoe or powerboat of under 10 hp, individuals piloting an aircraft (ever try to get earphones over a fedora?). Where else?

Wacky sidekicks in B-picture comedies.

Sorry, but it had to be done..... Most people around here know that you'll eventually get hit, by me, with a fish if you deserve it. James gets hit regularly

Just don't knock people into the canal. That's a long drop.

Yea but I think James enjoys getting smacked once in a while,and yes I probably did deserve it.At least I was nice enough not to spew a bunch of disparaging remarks?

Depends how bad they are!

Our Vintage Town will have a Gas Works, located on the edge of town in a district populated by roughnecks, bullyboys, toughs, and hoods. Those who violate town discipline will be taken across the tracks and dumped out behind the Gas Works, where the Gas House Boys will show them the error of their ways.

Also, while wrenching on cars. Fedoras are no good for that!

BTW, where IS James tonight?

 

[Shangas]

Do we have a proprietor of general merchandise? Someone who can man the local general/convenience store?

He'd also run the local pool-hall and barbershop, with his friends/family, which would be located in conveniently-placed adjoining buildings. The smell of freshly-ground coffee would pervade the air, which would occasionally be punctuated by the "shunk!...shunk!...shunk!...shunk!...wrrrr...DING!" of the antique hand-cranked National cash-register ringing up a sale. And the "dink!" of someone tapping a coin on the marble counter-top to check for forgeries.

Said forgeries causing the customer to be thrown bodily from the establishment.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Good question. Hopefully he's okay. Well, if he wasn't, old fella would just hit his life alert button

He's probably hiding from Rue.

Perhaps Tom and I can run the junkyard. Several acres of rescued pre-Johnson Administration treasures. Most beyond restoration but all good candidates to donate parts for the repair and maintenance of their luckier contemporaries.

And I'm not thinking just cars - appliances, tools, perhaps even architectural salvage.
