    Hat comeback

    I've noticed caps, news boy, cabbie style, seem to be coming back. At least among men of a certain age who want something more stylish than a ball cap. Also seen a few pork pies around. Although it may be more from Breaking Bad than anything else.

    Where did your user name come from??

    I worked at an Ace Hardware for years and one customer always called me Jack, even though my name tag said John, so I went with it. I started learning how to sew recently, and the first thing I did was patch a shirt. It seemed appropriate.

    Autumnal Thoughts........

    I love Autumn! The smell of fallen leaves, bonfires, spiced pumpkin anything, Halloween. Now if we could only skip winter that would be grand. I grew up in the foot hills of Pa. Entire hill sides would be alive with color this time of year.

    Frustrated! Addressing people by their title, and other 'old-fashioned' sayings

    I use Ma'am more from military training then anything. I address people I don't know as Ma'am, Miss, or Sir, even people I know get the same treatment more often than not. My job has me on the phones working with customers. Unless I have spoken to the caller several times and know them well...

    History Channel Gone Wrong

    Between Netflix, Amazon, Roku, and the internet they only reason I have a T.V. is to get the a fore mentioned channels on a big screen. "Reality" shows have lowered the collective I.Q. of this country by at least 20 points.

    Could you survive?

    I think I could. I have basic sewing, electronic, and carpentry skills. I can drive, or used to, anything from a sedan to a 18 wheeler. I would miss my Sunday night football, cell phone, and internet.

    Is Tom Cruise finished?

    The first time I saw Tom was doing the Risky Business dance. Been pretty much down hill from there. I have never been a fan of the man so I should mention that, but if I have to see one more advertisement for one of his movies I'm gonna be ill.

    The Streetcar/Trolley/Tram/Electric Railway Thread

    I was at the Kenosha public museum today. They have an old electric trolly that still makes the rounds. Didn't get a pic though.

    Edwardian England 1900

    Must have been an interesting time to live, 1850 up to the first world war. The automobile, electricity, steam engines, airplanes, transatlantic travel. The titanic and it's sister ships would soon be built. Jules Vern, Bram Stoker, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein has been in print for a few...
