    Deep Dislike Of Paypal

    Anybody use Skrill? Heard they are a better alternative to PayPal.

    Operation Iwan (Ries)

    Is what valid??? That they have thousands of pipes on hand? Yes indeed! I thought I posted pics, maybe I put them somewhere else. They are old school tobacconist. Couple of folks questioned why they don’t have a stronger net presence. Simple answe, a majority of their sales are walk in...

    Intractable Dogs...

    I used to be a letter carrier on a walking route. Learned quick to discern a safe dog and a dangerous one. Also learned that typical Mace has little to no effect on a dog. Switched to pepper gel (don’t have to worry about blowback due to wind) as well as a tire thumper my trucker uncle gave me.

    Intractable Dogs...

    Good luck with that. Most big breed owners don’t carry their dogs on their homeowners insurance (a few insurers prohibit certain breeds... the various pit breeds especially since statistically they are vastly more responsible for injurious attacks than all other breeds combined. Risk too high...

    Intractable Dogs...

    There’s a reason that Dog attack human fatalities are up over the last 20 years. Folks not training their dogs, folks not taking responsibility, and the law seriously lacking in repercussion. Only 1 in 5 owners involved in a Human fatality dog attack are even CHARGED, and the procescuted % is...

    Intractable Dogs...

    Worst bit is that they usually bolt when trouble happens; as if THEIR animal isn’t THEIR responsibility. Both clowns at the jogging path just took off. No apology, no “are you all right?” Nothing.

    Intractable Dogs...

    Nope, I don’t blame the dogs, just the dummies that didn’t have the foresight to imagine that cute pup growing into a 130 lbs menace.

    Intractable Dogs...

    I’ve noticed an over abundance of unruly dogs since the beginning of the Covid shutdowns last year. Lots of dopey people getting pets while they were at home, without investing the time to train them. I’ve an idiot down the street who decided a Cane Corso would be a good idea, and it’s broken...

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2021?***

    I much preferred the 2019 CF to the 2020. Though; sadly?, I only bought 5 tins and exhausted them rather quickly.

    Do You Smoke Outside Your Home/Yard?

    I think The terminology was misused; as a lot of folks assumed “outside” meant just that, instead of the inferred AWAY from home. I smoke outdoors, but mainly “Inside home/yard” ie. I smoke on my back porch. When people saw “Inside home/yard” they instinctively selected “outside” whereas I...

    What are You Watching, 2021? Rating [*/5]

    If you like Eli Wallach; check out these films : Ace High, MacKenna’s Gold, THE LINEUP (he’s phenomenal in this one), How the West was Won, How to Steal a Million.

    What are You Watching, 2021? Rating [*/5]

    Was curious about the “based upon” you mentioned and was more fascinated with THAT story than the film? Apparently the first “mountain man”; John Colter, was captured by Blackfeet Indians, stripped naked and told to run. Apparently he was a fast man, as he outdistanced the Indians who were...

    Cornel Wilde, in a different era he’d have been a much bigger star. But you had John Wayne, Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant etc.

    Do You Enjoy Every Bowl?

    Nope; and it’s almost exclusively due to environmental issues (Neighbor starts screaming at their kid, it’s starts raining (I only smoke outside, the other half comes out with a chore that “has to be done right now”, it’s brutally hot out?, etc). I’d venture to guess that 80% are enjoyable to...

    Columbus Ohio Pipe Show.

    Last time I was at the Columbus show, they had; maybe, three or four tables of vintage tins. Every time Ive been to Chicago show, I’d say 80% of the tables have some offering of vintage tins. Just figured with Chicago cancelled for a second year, some of those vintage tin offerings would make...

    Columbus Ohio Pipe Show.

    How was the tobacco offerings? I’d be especially curious about vintage tins. In years past they didn’t have a lot, but with the cancellation of the Chicago show, I was hoping that side would’ve shifted over into the Columbus show

    Vultures Move To Town

    Here in Illinois, the Turkey Vulture and the Red tailed Hawk have both seen some significant increases. You see Turkey Vultures regularly near Elfstrom Stadium (Kane County Cougars baseball stadium); as well as Blackwell Forest Preserve, Springbrook Prairie, and Hidden Lake. I see Red Tailed...

    Columbus Ohio Pipe Show.

    I dropped the ball on it; completely flakes out on the date. I thought it was THIS weekend? Had my trip all planned out. The old lady was even gonna join me. Oops. I’ll still go out that way, probably drive out to Cedar Point, maybe down to Kings Island.
