This generation of kids...
That does seem to me to be an odd response to a film camera being used instead of a digital one. What system do they think you are fighting? The typical response I've had from younger children when I've taken a photograph of them with a film camera is for them to run up and demand to see it...- Tango Yankee

What Do You Sound Like?
The Inland North. But what do they know? Let's see... I currently live in southern Ohio, but I've only been here coming up on six years. Before that was three years in South Carolina, four years in England, a bit over two years on Guam, five years in Germany, four years in Austin, Texas, a...- Tango Yankee

Help finding a badge holder
I don' t know a source but that looks fairly simple. Seems to me you could find a local leatherworker to make one up for you without too much trouble. Saddle and tack shop maybe? Good luck, Tom- Tango Yankee

Ideas for 40's/WWII themed office!
Online Early Office Museum I stumbled across this site and thought of this thread. Here's a link to some offices in the general time-frame. There are a number of photos from the era desired, but most of the offices depicted are more of an open-plan setup rather than offices for individuals. The...- Tango Yankee

This generation of kids...
My wife was just hired by my company at a salary higher than mine. It's been a serious blow to my fragile male ego! :eeek: Oh, and she's had her Masters for about 7 years now, and I won't finish mine until December. I'm having a hard time dealing with that, as well. :eusa_doh...- Tango Yankee

This generation of kids...
That's quite a generalization that isn't very accurate. I work for a "for profit" school. We have campuses in three states and yes, recently started an online school. We don't have low overhead. Our instructors have Masters degrees at a minimum and some have doctorates--all have experience in...- Tango Yankee

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
True, Lefty. I think that the difference between the overall costs is the key here. The difference between what a hat cost new back then and what someone might pay for it today vs what a new hat would cost today, and a new car cost then and what someone might pay for it now vs what new car...- Tango Yankee

Given enough time, a pristine Honda Civic will be a collector's item, just like many of the cars from the past that we drool over now. Many of those cars were the equivilent of the Civic in their time (basic family transportation) and they bring big bucks now. Cheers, Tom- Tango Yankee

Home Sold! Finally getting to move to Oregon...
Congratulations, Dan! I had planned to retire to southern Oregon when I left the Air Force (Medford area) as that's where a buddy of mine settled years ago and I love it there. Unfortunately for that plan, I got married before retiring. As at the time my wife had a good job and a house on 10...- Tango Yankee

Stetson hat to be new Army standard headgear
:offtopic: Hey, Raider! Cool photo! My wife was at Carswell in '89; she was in the Comm Squadron. She closed the place. I was down at Bergstrom AFB in Austin. We weren't married back then, but dating so I spent a lot of weekends up there. Cheers, Tom- Tango Yankee

Follow-up on the $49 shipping charge Well, it seems the gentleman wasn't paying attention to the process and paid with a credit card; didn't realize the charge until it was too late. He told me he'd learned the lesson to pay attention and to forget it, and enjoy the hat. The hat arrived...- Tango Yankee

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
I received a message from the seller of a hat I won on eBay that stunned me a little. He told me that he'd just shipped my hat and hat box but that it had been a long time since he had shipped something priority mail in a regular, non-flat-rate box and had badly underestimated shipping and...- Tango Yankee

Keeping secrets while a craft dies out
It may also be about making sure you are willing to commit yourself to the craft, and not waste their time or even their hopes of being able to pass on the knowledge--making sure it's not just a wild idea that won't last long. A few years ago I approached Gus Miller in Cincinatti and broached...- Tango Yankee

Learn Something Every day
In this thread I have some photos of a hat holder that suction-cups to the window. I use it for whichever fedora I am wearing. I rarely have a problem with it falling off, unless I'm on a very bumpy road. The main problem I have with it these days is that I prefer to have it on the right rear...- Tango Yankee
