    Can't find a hat bursh, what can I use instead?

    Hat burshes... Hey Legal, KD had a good idea. I did a little more looking. Check these links out. If you do a search for “brush� you will find both light and dark brim and crown burshes. Both Cavender’s and Shepler’s are reputable chains of western apparel stores. JPS...

    Out of the Past

    Another great one from Robert Mitchum In addition to Out of the Past, one of my faves by RM is "Cape Fear." He makes such a great slimeball juxtaposed to the wholesome Gregory Peck! This version is much spookier than the remake with Robert De Niro. De Niro plays it psycho. RM plays it like...

    New Policy and New User Group

    New Policy MK, Thanks for the details. My PM privileges suddenly disappeared yesterday. I was worried that I had offended you with a message that I had sent to you earlier in the day. I used some words I shouldn't have. If I did offend, please accept my apology. JPS

    Indiana Jones, Arceologist or trophy hunter?

    Do any of you scientists out there recall "smash and grab" as an accepted scientific method? Didn't think so. Since archaeology is a science, that leaves Indy out. JPS
