    Why are estate pipes ok?

    Have bought some new cobs. In cleaning and restoring old briars i came to making my own pipes. With every old gem came the times, style and aura of the previous owner, sometimes with a ghost. I dont worry about Germs. They’re on every door handle. Smoked each pipe with respect to the ancestors...

    Grateful Dead Bassist Phil Lesh Dead at 84

    My brother introduced me to the Dead when I was eleven in the early 1970 with American Beauty. Had my first record player. Then I read Phil Lesh on the cover the first time. Ah yes, also for me Box of Rain was one of the songs spinning in my mind since then.

    UK PM Removes Raleigh Portrait from 10 Downing Street!

    Nothing wrong to hang the pictures in the British Museum. I wouldn’t mind.

    UK PM Removes Raleigh Portrait from 10 Downing Street!

    And maybe it’s just that: (to quote The Telegraph) A spokesperson said: “The change of artwork is long planned, since before the election, and is timed to mark 125 years of the Government Art Collection (GAC).”

    UK PM Removes Raleigh Portrait from 10 Downing Street!

    Looks much better now in number 10. Seriously, those were pretty gruesome portraits, relics of the English colonial era. The paint is off. I don't think there's anything wrong with Paula Rego as a representative of contemporary art. All the better that her art shows the suffering of oppression...

    What are You Reading Now?

    Finished Cees Nooteboom and his first novel Philip and the Others published 1953 at the age of 20 in one go. A wistful work about dream and reality.

    Mango Wood for Pipe??

    To fire up the discussion, yes mango is told to be irritant to the skin but that it s also true for maple, olive, rosewood and a few other woods used for pipe making. It is als true for ebony used for guitar fretboard, we put our fingers on. “The fruit peel of Mango is filled with Allergenic...

    That’s what I thought, to get some more of those recordings.

    No, I think that's enough now, too many words have already been spoken. Have a good night. I still wonder what „something germane“ could be.

    Domengo

    Ah yes, I understand you’re a hard man in a hard world, where people have „going to get fucked with“ for what? „Shitting on pipe making in general“? Such strong morals? It’s almost a kind of religious fanaticism you’re showing up. I’m so sorry.

    Don’t forget we’re talking about a man’s (not professional) work, which he seemed actually proud of. A little empathy would’ve gone a long way. We all know (at least now) what’s a billiard, that’s not the point. Even the mod wrote „OK, enough already with insults.“
