    Experimenting on foods.

    When you buy yeast, you have keep using it. Or it goes bad and is wasted. I like eating bread. But I still throw out yeast. I can't make enough bread to use the entire package of yeast.

    Self Rediscovery

    "Cut the crap. We know who you are." We? I only see 1 guy. 1 guy. Wearing a blue windbreaker with big yellow letters. CID. And an ill fitting pair of Dockers. Not a squad. Just 1 cop. He works for The IRS. Criminal Investigation Division. They usually come to seize property for...

    What Do You Wear In Really Cold Weather?

    Male and female inmates take part in the prison manufacturing plant. Hands on labor, autocad design, the call center, administration, planning, purchasing, every job is a training platform. And they are paid. Some send the money home to help support families.

    Garden plans this year?

    I have a small backyard in The City. I have no interest in landscaping for aesthetics. There are a few trees. Some fruit. Weeds will grow in the dirt, whether I do anything or not. My only interest is getting something edible, if something or anything is growing. I just put some sweet...

    What Do You Wear In Really Cold Weather?

    I have a down filled cap. Yes. They are the best built jeans I own. And it supports inmates. If those pants were made with union labor, they would cost 3 times as much. I used to buy them. Back then, as I recall, it was a hand wash only item. And I didn't like to wash by hand. And...

    do you have names for meals? like a Nickname for special dishes?

    4 or 5 avocado. 1 or 2 tomato. 1 or 2 lime. Depending on size of the fruit. Whiz it up in the food chopper machine. Growing up, we always called it avocado spread. We put it on toast. That was the base. You could literally put anything else on top of it. Ham. Cheese. Poached egg...

    What Do You Wear In Really Cold Weather?

    As a kid, my daily "uniform" was Levi's 501 (because the factory was on Valencia, right by Golden Bear's leather factory), a cotton pocket t-shirt from The Gap (back when they still had factories in The City and we could buy direct with a discount), and a Golden Bear pilot jacket (because the...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I have used this shop in the past. They were able to restore my uniform duty boots with Vibram lug soles. Pretty standard work in the world of shoe repairs on military style boots with a Goodyear welt. There are videos on YouTube showing boot repairs.

    You know you are getting old when:

    What is weird is that fans of The Full House show are flocking to 1709 Broderick Street in San Francisco. That house was only used for an exterior shot. The show was not shot on location in San Francisco. The inside of that home is nothing like the set of the show. Yet, fans are leaving...

    do you have names for meals? like a Nickname for special dishes?

    I went to a Japanese restaurant in El Paso, TX. I sat at the sushi bar. I asked the sushi chef for a few things. He laughed. Said something along the lines of "this is Texas, we don't have real sushi". A little more banter. He said that he'll have the kitchen bring me the best thing that...

    The 80s, myth and reality?

    In 1987, Natalia Wolfgramm was born into a family of musicians with hit songs. Today, she is a lead vocalist for the family band. In 1989, Franne Golde and Tom Snow wrote a song for this family band, which the band rejected. The song was shopped around and finally recorded in 1995. It...

    Experimenting on foods.

    My brother in law has been dropping off Dungeness Crab. Two more today. Tossed together some random veggies I had in the house. Beets. Mango. Avocado. Tomato. 2 crabs yields about a 1/2 bowl of crab meat.

    Self Rediscovery

    We pulled into an Indian Reservations at 0600 on a Christmas morning. We were met at the gate by Tribal Police, who provided an escort to a large warehouse, which was used as central receiving. Stevie Jr's guys were in a procession of cabover trucks, all crudely stenciled with names of produce...

    New NYPD coat

    Taylor jackets are reasonable quality for a massed produced retail item, made in Pakistan. I have several Taylor jackets, as well as the NYPD model, and I have no complaints. Their jackets are made for the uniform wear. They work for that. You can ride a motorcycle, direct traffic in...

    Just Leather jackets -

    The shop closed down in 2020. With Covid Lockdown, they were not able to stay open as an essential business. They were never able to reopen their doors. There were several Motorcycle Clubs whose members wore their leather. Anyone who has seen an episode of Sons of Anarchy or Mayans MC -...
