Moving To South Carolina
Beginning 12. August I will be in Columbia, SC, working on my Master's degree. If any members are familiar with the area, I would greatly appreciate suggestions for things to see and do. I have not spent any great time in the South since I lived in Atlanta six years ago, and I'm very excited...- Feng_Li

Posting Excerpts from Books
I wasn't sure where to post this, so it goes in the OB... What is forum etiquette regarding the posting of lengthy passages from a book? And what is permissible under copyright? The book I have in mind is about 70 years old.- Feng_Li

Sweater Fuzz
This may not be news to anyone else, but the trusty clothing brush does a great job of removing the fuzzballs from a sweater. Several sources recommended shaving them off, but that struck me as strange and tedious. What do you do?- Feng_Li

A look I admire
Scanned from Pictures of the Times, ed. Galassi & Kismaric, MoMA: NY, 1996. The fellow who jumped out at me is the one standing right of center: wearing what I think is a stiff rounded collar of medium height, high-closure single-breasted overcoat, skinny tie, and cap. He looks...- Feng_Li

Stretching shoes
My first pair of ebay shoes is a bit too narrow. Can they be stretched a bit, or am I better off reselling them? They are 10 D, and I think I need 10 E. However, the size break for shoe trees is 10 D / E, so I was thinking perhaps I could stretch them with the larger trees.- Feng_Li

The lack of Pedestrian culture in America
Here are three articles by the same author I found very interesting. Freedom from the automobile is one of the things about living in Germany that I miss the most. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3- Feng_Li

Prioritizing the basics
[Edit: Bartender, I meant to post this in General Attire. My apologies.] Having saved a bit of money and substantially reduced my gas budget now that university is over, I'm taking stock of my wardrobe and hoping to improve it. Here is how it stands at present: 1 Gray 1 Brown Fedora 1...- Feng_Li

Graduation Gifts
I (finally!) graduated on Sunday, and since I normally wear jacket and tie to work, I should get plenty of use out of these. From Grandma: These belonged to my late grandfather. "F" is for Feng, naturally. None of these are particularly valuable, but they are sentimental. He held...- Feng_Li

Service at a service station!
What a pleasant surprise! I stopped at the 76 on my way home today to tank up. Since my tank is on the passenger side (I drive a Subaru) I normally get out to stretch my legs instead of making the attendant walk around the car. (for some strange reason, it is illegal to operate the pump...- Feng_Li

Ladies, how do you select a hat?
I was walking about downtown Portland with my girlfriend yesterday, enjoying the beautiful day. She has always wanted a hat, so we asked at John Helmer if they knew of a good place to look, and the salesgirl very helpfully directed us to Pinkham Millinery only a few blocks away. The stock there... -

What does one wear with a leather jacket?
The general public is obviously not the best guide in such matters, but the only leather I have seen lately is on bikers, and the only other reference that comes to my mind is aircrew. What do you typically wear with your flight jackets, bomber jackets, or other leather? I'd love to hear your...- Feng_Li

Question for trained eyes
(I hope this is the correct forum for this; if not, I apologize!) My mother and I were going through some of her father's things that she saved, and we found this jacket. Her immediate comment when I put it on was that it looked funny on me, but couldn't say why. I'm hoping you can.
