talk about hands and variety and doubles skills...Krejčíková. If the nerves don't get them, it's going to be a great match. Had to feel bad for Vekić. She's always been an emotional wreck and had problems finishing matches in the latter rounds. Comes from that generation that needs a sports...

I recognized the word, and I think it was through hiking gear or surplus. A Tyrol backpack/rucksack style? Something like that. As for a region? Me dumb American.

Can't say I have a preference. A couple of my favorite feeling pipes are both Charatans, with 16th bent stems on pipes normally seen as straight designs. One is a prince, and the other is a handmade billiard. So I guess I do have a thing for crooked straight pipes. Oh, and I do like my Legend...

anyway to get your data...so they can sell your data. and so they can stop paying a worker somewhere in the line.

If you aren't watching Jasmine Paolini, you're missing out. She's 5'3" or 5'4", depending on the source, has great hands, with a wide variety of shots, and is similar to Daria Kasatkina, but with a lot more power and speedy court coverage. She's not quite as chess-like as Radwanska or Hingis...

well well well. this was my go-to English back when I started, and for years to come. It was cheaper than Dunhill and Rattrays, by maybe $.60/tin, which was around 20% savings. Foolish me, I thought it was going for around $250. Sobranie of London Balkan Sobranie No. 759 in a 50g tin – 1980’s...

I've found money is a mindset as much as math or score card. My family talked about money all the time, nonstop, and associated it with everything. From my grandparents downward. My grandfather used to hand me a $1 bill, and before he let go of it, he would say, "Don't spend it on records." See...

Wimbledon started yesterday. I thought about it on Sunday, watching some pre-tournament stuff, but then I forgot about it until Monday night. I'm sure I've said it before, but I prefer the first three rounds at the Grand Slams. I like watching players I've never seen, the upsets, the new...

In the last year or so, I found my replacement for Stokkebye LNF (hasn't been the same since C-19), which was my replacement for McClelland #2015. 507C. I hope my cynicism goes unrewarded, and they don't mess with the recipe or price point.

ever wondered where shellac is made? how it is made? what is in it?

replaced the batteries in 2 just yesterday. I don't wait for them to beep alert. try to do it every 12 months, but I get lazy and let them go a few months longer sometimes. These were at 16 months. I'm more fearful of a gas blow up than a general fire/wiring issue. but if that happens, you'll...

Just about every night, I watch DA. Sometimes, just a scene, but at least a bit nearly every day. I've maybe seen the entire series 10 times? This latest round, it's been with the sound very low and with closed captions. For obvious reasons, DA has discussions dedicated to the vocabulary and...

An old boss of mine was full of sayings. He spoke in sayings. Kind of annoying in a way, but with time, this one gains more and more traction: let those who want none have memories of not getting any.

CBS Morning News did a piece on Daria Kasatkina last weekend. I've mentioned their youtube vlog in the Tennis thread. Simona Halep being reinstated, this piece, and Nadal losing have been the big tennis stories as of late. It's good to see Zverev come back from the yips he had a couple years...

There are many countries with untrustworthy post offices, and if memory serves, Italy is one. They weren't always that way, but in the past couple of decades, I'm pretty sure their system went to shiite. It doesn't surprise me that they don't want you to use the postal service. Not to be...

This soap is surprisingly cheap, and though it is relatively clear which soap it is on their site, I'm a little confused by how they describe it and what people in the comments are saying about it being good for problematic skin. I was thinking about giving it as a gift to someone with skin...

It's incredible. INCREDIBLE.

I was given one of those Z wallets a long time ago in a box of purged junk. I like to dig through other people's boxes of crap, make some of it my crap, and then pass the rest onto someone else. I don't like things in my pockets, so I can't give any good reason why I kept this thing. I ended...
