    The left side of the brain collects the images on the right from both eyes and the right side sees images from the left. The incidence of left handedness is about 7 %. If your are born without a corpus callosum or have it severed, the two hemispheres have difficulty communicating.

    The left side of the brain is primarily verbal/language, mathematical. The right side is primarily visual/spatial, aesthetics, music, holistic.

    I don’t know. Just looking at videos most guitarists are right handed. Paul McCartney notable exception.

    This is an old container I picked up at auction several years ago. It was from an old New Bedford family. I suppose I could use it for tobacco.

    I have a friend in San Diego who has a nautical antique store. I got the doors from him along with a binnacle, telegraph, teak coffee table, lanterns, scrimshaw, etc. His house and store look like museums.

    The shipping line is Hollandsche Vrachtvaart Maatschappij. I don’t know specifically which ship. The floor was in the house when we bought it. The lighter wood between the teak is holly.

    I have a couple of teak doors. The one on top was from a Dutch ship. I will be installing it at the entrance to my man cave this spring. They both used to be in my house in Maine, but I took them with me when I moved to Texas. Notice the teak floor.

    Favorite Historical Fiction?

    I like the early Michener—Tales of the South Pacific, Return to Paradise, Sayonara, The Bridges at Toko-Ri. His later work got too pendulous. I believe he employed subordinates to do much of the work. Still, the first two works mentioned above place him among other greats of South Sea...

    Favorite Historical Fiction?

    Well, of course I read it, but maybe that would entail at least one other thread beyond “what are you reading?”

    Favorite Historical Fiction?

    If it was written around the actual time, would it be considered historical fiction? Or is it just fiction that became historical. WWII spawned tons of fiction that was written shortly after the conflict.
