    V.C. your pics are just incredible. They are dream man caves.

    Pawn stars - john wayne hat

    The Duke was known for being a down-to-earth approachable guy and this scene just shows the class he had. That gesture has probably gotten by 99.99% of people who have no idea what it means but he did it because he knew what it would mean to the man's family. Silent and strong class. Wow.

    Facial Hair

    Not just the sideburns. Look at the expression on his face. Haha.

    "Invented by a former member of the Canadian Mounted Police". Hmm. Was he "Former" because or in spite of the new handcuffs. :D Canadian minds want to know.

    Pawn stars - john wayne hat

    You read my mind. It would make me nervous to have that guy watching me while I was browsing. I realise that they deal in a lot of cash but I don't see one in other pawnshops.

    How to get started in Fountain Pens

    Thanks for that Deacon. I own a couple of pens but have never really used them. I would like to start however and also would like to learn more about how to create a bigger collection of pens. The link to the Fountain Pen Network is fantastic.

    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...

    Wow I couldn't agree more. If I really get my Dad talking about the good old days, the lack of internal plumbing, heating and clothing and shoes eventually comes out, but not right away. That is what I meant in my first comment about the standard of living being so high today. People can...

    Pawn stars - john wayne hat

    Big surprise there ;) I like the show a lot because of the historical items they bring in, but the interactions are clearly staged. I don't care how smart the Harrisons are, there is no way they have the extensive knowledge to speak about the topics they do. They usually will set up the item...

    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...

    As I said in my post, I was not referring to posessions, toys and large homes. I am referring to the fact that people have decent incomes, good health and live in a safe society. Other than the last couple of years, the USA has done very well for itself and had the greatest amount of...

    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...

    Tom that's one of my favourite expressions bacause it is so true. A recent study stated that the average kid in North America today has more ammenities and a higher standard of living than an absolute monarch would have had less than 30 years ago. That is amazing when you think of it. I'm not...

    For sure. Though don't you feel like you're in North by Northwest?

    Pawn stars - john wayne hat

    Yes and the ridiculous little scrawled "Duke" note in the hat band. Even my kids laughed at that. You could see "The Old Man" from the store freeze up right away when the seller mentioned John Wayne. Good for a laugh though. The show itself is very educational though and plenty of really...

    Handwriting Improvement.

    I have noticed the same. People of "a certain age" tend to have nicer handwriting because they practiced it for years in school. Pretty much every elderly person I have seen write has beautiful penmanship. I think that after they had a good base of training they just continued to write their...

    The casualization of the world

    Plus the dotcoms were started in large part by young rebellious computer types who became freakishly wealthy in a short amount of time. Dressing way down was their way of sticking it to the man.:p

    Anyone use or own Wooden Skis?

    Here in Canada we have the same situation. Used modern skis are everywhere and if you want vintage skis, boots and poles almost every second hand store I have been to has at least a couple of pairs in a cardboard bin in the back of the store. Careful though. I started off on my dad's 1959...

    Facebook in the Golden Era...

    Military clubs are always great, as are alumni clubs and groups from whatever schools you went to. Church is good and of course going to other people's social events and meeting new people. It always seems to me that the type of people that go to social events and clubs are the type that are...

    Coffee, grind your own?

    We love freshly ground in our house too. We have a cuisinart grinder with the large resevoir at the top and the ability to pick to level of grinding. Just the smell of the ground beans even before the coffee is made is worth it. Expresso beans need to be ground very fine so it makes the whole...
