    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    I find most of my clothing from thrift/charity shops nowadays. Everything but the boots in this outfit is. Latest finds are the jacket and cap. Jacket is moosehide, I think '70s, maybe '80s, manufacturer is long gone. Cap is Estonian, the label got me thinking that maybe even from the Soviet...

    Decades ago here too in most restaurants one could get a drink, wine, beer only with a meal. So many not so high class establishments had a few sandwitches in a fridge. You ordered your beer, it came with the sandwich, and after the beer was finished the sandwich was promptly taken back to the...

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Latest Donald Sutherland movie I saw was Forsaken, a western from 2015. Liked it very much. It was great to see father and son, Donald and Kiefer, playing father and son.

    Thank you all for great ideas, I'll look into them. I prefer my staff high quality but rather plain, so I'm thinking darkish wood with round brass or maybe silver knob. Knob should be on the heavy side, so I can whack someone if the need arises... :) I'm rather intrigued with Foxtrot Lamont's...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    It was time to watch yet again my official 'It's summer!" -movie, Howard Hawks' Hatari. The story is about this outfit in Kenya catching animals for zoos, including John Wayne, Hardy Kruger, Red Buttons, among others. The crew has to accept a female photographer, played by Elsa Martinelli to...

    Anyone knows where to look for a classy, yet practical walking stick? I'm having a surgery on my arthritic big toe in the fall, so I have a perfect excuse! :)

    Some years ago I had to drive all night. While having a coffee brake at around 3 in the morning I noticed this around 12-13 years old girl hanging around in that 24/7 service station. While i was thinking that kid that young shouldn't be there alone at that time, she calmly walked to her car and...

    That there is real dog's life! Always makes me sad when people have dogs as decorations, not companions. Well done Sir! :)

    Loungers' Pets

    He reminds me so much of my Rusina (Raisin), who I lost to a wolf 3 years ago. They sure leave everlasting memories!

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I know the feeling, Fox! Still remember the first time, not so long ago, when saw someone making transaction by showing wristwatch to that gizmo on the counter. It literally dropped my jaw and I just stared feeling absolutely prehistorical! :)

    Into (~Eager) and Onni (~Lucky) on walk yesterday. They've just spotted a roe deer. From this angle Into looks halfway decent, I trimmed him for the summer heat and am not very good at it!

    The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.

    Fascinating! The length and traditionalism of Japanese culture always amazes me. When that sword was made, our oldest, and at the time only, city was a few decades old. Btw, I hope that diverse interests are a sign of a active mind. After reading that article kept looking at the recent posts...
