    Good Photos

    Thank you for the constructive criticism. I don’t really know how to use Photoshop but I did rotate the image and I cropped it to remove the car and the distracting branch.

    Location: Bainbridge Island, WA Date: February 2024 Camera: iPhone 14 I’m not a photographer. No real eye for composition or anything but I do have an interest in improving and I would welcome any critiques. Personally, I’d like the picture more without the car. But I wonder, are the...

    STG closes Mac Baren and Sutliff

    This is spot on. As a group of hyper-interested people in a niche product, we tend to go crazy about any little news and people come in and sagely urge caution and taking a deep breath . . . most of the time that's good advice. But there are enough times when everyone's fears turned out to...

    Cellar Spreadsheet

    You tease (I think) but I did build some custom shelving for closets for my bins.

    HU Tobacco In The US?

    I've also been buying a select few HU blends from Estervals for years and the blends I liked most didn't make the cut for US distribution so I've been on the sidelines here.

    Matthew Sweet had a Debilitating Stroke.

    Oh man. This sucks. He put out some of my favorite albums of the 90s. I'm going to head over to Spotify now and listen to "Sick of Mysefl" in his honor.

    Sacramento Valley Pipe Club

    It's time for my annual plug for the Sacramento Valley Pipe Club. If you're interested in trying out an informal gathering of pipe smokers, a growing number of us meet on the last Sunday of each month from 1:00 to 5:00. Until we can find a suitable pipe shop to host us, we are meeting at one...

    SG Navy Flake

    I've had a similar experience with that blend. It's (sometimes) worth the effort to get a good bowl started.

    Cellar Spreadsheet

    I'm a fan of spreadsheets. Mine is pretty similar to that one but instead of columns for type, components, casing, and cut I have Purchase Date, Manufacture Date, Cost, # of tins, Weight (these last two are needed to sum the total ounces I have), and then the bin number I'm storing the tin in...

    Luis Tiant Dies at Age 83.

    Just thought I'd share a picture of my Luis Tiant rookie card. I've been collecting rookie cards of Red Sox greats through the years and this is one of them.

    Years of Pipe Smoking vs. Pipe + Tobacco Count

    Luis Tiant Dies at Age 83.

    It will be fascinating to watch how they address the issue because I don't think they'll be able to mandate wholesale changes. For example, they wouldn't be able to mandate that every starter must pitch 5 innings or more because there will be times when the pitcher gets injured or just gets hit...

    Luis Tiant Dies at Age 83.

    I think you've touched on the problem. When you have kids in middle school who only care about velocity and that pressure just picks up steam with travel ball and showcases, it's no wonder we see so many young guys going under the knife before they even sniff the major leagues. It's weird to...

    This Could be Mega-Bad

    Has anyone heard from Brian Levine? I think he's on the east side of the state but that he was planning to leave for the Vegas show around today or tomorrow originally.

    Luis Tiant Dies at Age 83.

    I'm a biased Red Sox fan but it's clear to me that Tiant was, in fact, a little bit better than Catfish Hunter. He just happened to be playing for a franchise that was still cursed while Hunter had the privilege of playing for the A's when they won 3 championships and then the Yankees for two...
