Well, this sight is a revelation. I don't recollect just exactly how I stumbled upon it, but am right glad I did.
I didn't know anybody else out there was like this: anachronistic, atavistic, thinking the pinnacle of Western style and technology was achieved by 1950.
I've worn a hat everyday for the last forty years, carry a fountain pen, pocket watch, own no synthetic clothing, shoot iron sights, fish with a Tonkin cane rod, I'm in love with Karen Blixen and Osa Johnson, actually read the Bible, think the Model A was the best car ever built, like my exercise from the back of a horse or the belly of a cedar/canvas canoe in a wilderness lake and I keep my trousers up with stout braces.
Where I live, (tiny B.C. logging and ranching town) hat means ball cap, vest means life jacket, style means metal in your face and lots of tats for the younger set, cowkickers and a trophy buckles for the older ones.
I've always kinda figured I was little odd, and family and friends concur. Don't know why I like everything from Art Nouveau to the cycling of a 1911, pretty much given up trying to figure it out. Suffice it to say I feel rather vindicated by the august company of these rarefied precincts, and I've learned heaps already from several day's reading.
Thanks Eh!
I'm a seventh generation Texan, but when you live in Canada, it's just expected that you go EH! a lto.
