    For The Blackbloods!

    Just read this whole thread. You guys had me rolling. I have to try this stuff now. I don't think I have tried anything this potent yet though, so getting a whole tin might be too much for me.

    Pipe maker underground near Rockefeller Center NYC

    No, I didn't know there was a pipe maker there. I work right near there so would love to visit a pipe shop. If anyone hears about this guy or knows of another actual pipe shop in NYC let us know.

    Teahupoo- The World's Heaviest Wave

    I think I held my breath watching that whole video. How does someone live through a wipeout on one of those?

    What Did You do Today?

    Yesterday I spent the whole time collecting the fallen leaves from Sandy. I use them for mulch in my garden and to insulate my fig trees for winter. My neighbors has them all out in neat piles by the curb. I also went around town and hand picked future firewood from their piles of downed trees...

    Smoking Indoors: My Ozone/Ionizer Results

    Are there any that just clean the air/remove particles from it rather than adding gas to it? It may not 'smell' fresh but the air would actually be fresh. I had no idea there were ozone units like this and that they could get us sick. Glad I read this post!

    Things I learned during the blackout

    Foggy- I agree that it's good for us to get back to our basics at times. It helps us think of what we've got. I also live in the NYC area, and I definitely learned some lessons from this storm. Foggy & Al, I will also be at the NYC pipe meeting next week. See you there!

    What are You Reading?

    Just finished "It's Even Worse Than It Looks" by Mann/Ornstein - I highly recommend it to all US citizens. Also just finished "Hope, Human & Wild" by Bill McKibben.

    Dam Bird is Stealing My Supper

    That's great! I have always thought about getting a bird, but considering my wife's limits, the poop is a major negative. Maybe one day when the kids get older we will miss how much the house is a mess and won't mind a bird. My cat jumps on my lap every time i eat and slowly tries to sneak in...

    How many cross-smokers out there?

    Cigars were my gateway to pipes. I too had a hard time finding cigars that I liked- at least all the way through. Pipes fit my personality more and my timing. Recently though, I have started smoking cigars again in conjunction with pipes.

    A Real Honest To Gosh Snob, But Proud Of It!

    I agree Top D! I am approaching middle age and fortunately were groomed by money-concious parents from the depression era. It was pounded into my brain to never let my credit card (when I finally got one, which is much later than youth today) run into the next month. Pay off all debts and don't...

    If You're Not in the Secret Society and want to know ...

    Where to find Penzance

    It's from a movie called 'Downfall' about Hitler's demise. There are a whole bunch of parodies online using this scene- much like an internet meme.
