That ain’t no NY Times, that’s Amity Schlaes!
For those who love, and have lost, a dog I submit this picture. I dare you to look at it without emotion.

Interesting. Amity Shlaes is a conservative, she wrote the book the Forgotten Man on FDR. It was excellent.
breaks my heart.
very sad. I, again, recommend Suspect, by Robert Crais. It’s about a German Shepard who was a Marine, she lost her handler in Afghanistan. She becomes a LAPD k9 dog. The chapters from the dog’s point of view were very touching. Very sweet story.
saw that, he is a trailblazer for sure.
Sorry, unless I’m missing your subtlety, the image won’t appear until Cyber were to restore the original image with the exact same name and location.
Here I am-I’ve taken a break from looking for best price/product for a job-
Obama’s minions seem amazed
That our disbelief extends
To lies they tell us now-
Like wanting to make amends
How dare we hold the wisdom
Of the IRS or any other
Agency in a doubting light-
After all, it is Big Brother
Of course we have the effrontery
To investigate-imagine that!
We’ve been gamed by them before
And there’s no bunny in the hat...
The image is fine on my FRiday thread. There were two addresses for it and one is no longer good.
Thanks ti, I seez what’s going on now ;)
yeah, xs lost her template moving from one computer to another. must have used the useless address by error.
I vaguely remember seeing The Great Gatsby the first time around. I thought the characters were pretty despicable, and the movie was boring, but I was younger then...
I’ve actually never seen suits like that on anyone outside of a GQ or some other magazine. If anyone wore that to a club or restaurant in a city in this part of Texas, they would be knocked to the floor by the scornful laughter alone. When I was in college, a few guys from the city took to wearing white loafers-I would not be/have been seen with a guy wearing those, but I’m ranch raised-to my eyes, they look as silly as leisure suits, and spell “lounge lizard”......
i meant the pic that you were posting in your homework? was there not one there? i know the one is missing from WFTD header, but i thought the same msg was in your homework?
A+++ excellent!
Remember, I said they were popular in the 60s and 70s. My husband even bought a pale blue suit at Marshall Field’s in 1987 to wear in Milwaukee in the heat of the summer. That suit expired, however, without being replaced — even though he’d owned identical versions since 1969. Think Matlock. He would switch it off with a kakhi cotton version.
I remember my husband’s cousin (a doctor) coming to my mother in law’s funeral in Illinois from Alabama in June 1959 in a suit and in shoes like that. I couldn’t take my eyes off the shoes, wondering where else in the world he wore those. Fifteen years later, I saw them all over Houston, TX. A lot of men even wore similar styles as Golf shoes at the country club.
As I said, I think that casual dress has usurped the “summer” suit in a lot of places. And universal AC too.
The striped jacket is definitely a 1910 fashion, or Babershop Quartet. It looks like it came right off stage from a resurrection of The Music Man. Or from a flashy booth at a trade show.
Thank you!
I hope my compadre’s nephew finds that solenoid for the gearshift of my truck-it is not that easy to remember not to put it in “park” when I stop and get out of it-I put a sticky note right on the console beside the shifter(s) that says “no park” in big black marker letters-it is a hassle to have to get it out of park by manipulating the override with a screwdriver...
LOL I had weird things with my last car. I was so glad DH agreed I needed a new one. It’s such a luxury to have everthing work on it.
