A good straw fedora/panama is a nice hat to have in hot, sunny weather. You should look into getting a new one.

Something something wet wiped.

Thank you! Among my fedoras, I also have a nice blue one: I want to get a yellow one with a black band (a la Dick Tracy) to complete the primary colors trifecta.

Even in France proper, people drink carbonated beverages. Although I’d bet sparkling water has a bigger market share there than here. Speaking of other countries… I went to Russia 20 years ago, and discovered a beverage called kvass, which is technically a low-alcohol beer that is carbonated...

I meant to post this a few days ago: Raided the freezer and took out a container of beer-braised pork and another of collard greens with smoked turkey in it. Served it over brown rice. We heated each bowl in the microwave with a bit of butter, which combined with the juices & pot liquor from...

That seems the same as what I’ve seen here in the USA.

Your face is out in public; (ideally) your passwords aren’t publicly displayed. I’m a lawyer; I don’t use biometrics. I also don’t have my phone tied into my car’s Bluetooth system- I realized years ago that while my side may not be audible outside the car, the person I’m talking to can be...

“Soda fountain” is one that goes back many decades- perhaps before my birth- but I don’t hear it often anymore. I’m more likely to hear just “fountain” (and the beverages called “fountain drinks”) or a “drink(s) dispenser”. Edit: I checked- the first “soda fountains” date back to the early...

I don’t have Netflix, so I’ve never even HEARD of that. Looked good, though!
