    The Man in the High Castle

    So far I've only seen the first two episodes. The production design is exceptional, as one would expect with the involvement of Ridley Scott. And thus far I like the book better. I will have to see more episodes to see if they weave in the subtleties that PKD wove into the book. Tony

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    Tropicalbob, Thank you for the suggestion! That is a very fine watch. It looks like there is a sufficient contrast ratio between the face and the hands that should make it fairly easy to read the time. And if it's good enough for Bogart. . . I'm going to look for one of those. Tony

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    Question for you all: I am looking for a vintage watch. However, recently I had cataract surgery and now my distant vision is great! Better then ever in my lifetime. But the side effect is my near vision is bad and I need reading glasses. I hate putting reading glasses on just to read my...

    Hitler Caught Napping - War Over

    Hitler reserved is panzers for his own authority. And he missed the timing. He also previously screwed up at Dunkirk, where he allowed Goering's air force to take the lead, instead of his panzers. Goering was not up to the task, and the Dunkirk evacuation was a successes. Micromanaging from...

    Take a Look Inside Detroit's Secretive Masonic Temple

    It is very surprising that it is in as good of condition that it is today. This scale of structure is very expensive to maintain. I'd like to see it sometime. Tony

    Vintage Typefaces

    I've been enjoying this thread a lot! Type is everywhere, and so tends to be invisible, but in fact is really important, even if subliminal. I'd like to see more descriptions of typefaces. Tony

    DDU War Shelters

    Interesting story! Might want to change your heading though. DDU is pretty meaningless today. If you add Buckminster Fuller to the header I think more people will look at this thread. Thanks for posting! Tony

    A Cocktail that has really grown on me: The Bloody Mary

    And add some bitters for complexity and some cayenne pepper for a rather nice heat. Not too much of either though. A little paprika adds something too. Tony
