What coffee or tea did you drink today?
My favorite coffee has always been straight Mocha from storied Yemen. I first had it roasted by Continental Tea and Spice in Denver. No other purveyor has ever seemed to know how to roast it. Today, I buy the green beans and roast them myself. Green beans, unlike roasted, keep forever. I...- Tomtheantiquarian

Miss America : Standards of American Beauty over the Years
Not all beauty pageants were the same. Chicago hosted the Chicago Fair in 1950. Following two years of the wildly popular Chicago Railroad Fair, people still wanted more. The promoters delivered as best they could. There was a narrow gauge train to ride as well as others in a historical...- Tomtheantiquarian

Buried Treasure
I stand corrected. The lanterns didn't seem all that large based on the size of the handles.- Tomtheantiquarian

Skills For "Living The Era"
In the summers following my second and third university years I sold ''diaper service'' to young wives expecting their first child. I found it to be very easy to make more money than many men with years of selling experience. I suspect that the fact that I was about the same age as these women...- Tomtheantiquarian

Buried Treasure
It is very likely the lens from a Dietz Police Lantern. Lanterns of this sort were called bullseye lanterns in Great Britain; the term often appears in older British mysteries. These lanterns predate the widespread use of kerosene in this country. Dietz still exists, but they no longer make...- Tomtheantiquarian

Hiking food.
Fresh pemmican is available online in several different variations. The same purveyor sells beef and lamb tallow for those who wish to make their own. I disovered this from a Wikipedia article which mentions it, but does not link it. Amazon has products called pemmican; however, they contain...- Tomtheantiquarian

9mm or 45cal
I generally carry a revolver rather than an auto. That said, I must mention a positively delightful gun chambered for .45. At least, I find it a delight to shoot. That gun is the Para-Ordnance P10-45, later called the Warthog. I have large hands so I can only get two fingers around the grip...- Tomtheantiquarian
