    What are you smoking?

    Escudo time. Bought a couple tins before my time off.... now I have a nice collection with 3-4 years of age. Patience has paid dividends.

    Copenhagen wintergreen into a Gatorade bottle until the weather turns. I heard we might see a thaw this weekend.

    Tobacco in tins

    Under the plastic lid is a "pop top" like a can of tennis balls. It is air tight, but over time, rust can happen. Keep everything cool, dark and dry and all should be fine.

    Back from a long break

    Well, it’s only been three and a half years. Did I miss anything? Good to see some familiar names, and some new ones, too. How many times has Kyle quit since I was last on?

    Ernie Banks has died

    I had the opportunity to wait on Mr. Banks at my restaurant on multiple occasions. He is the only person in the world I wouldn't tell that I am a Cardinals Fan. Heroes fade away, but Legends never die.

    How important is pipe smoking compromise...

    Being in Chicagoland here, I will only say that Outdoor space is important to me as well, but for the multiple purposes it offers. I grill, the kiddie pool, place for the dog to crap, etc. A terrace for the singular purpose of smoking is luxurious, but Res Ipso Loquitor, a luxury is unnecessary.

    Went to a concert

    Music is art. Creativity is beauty. I snore from a broken nose from a Rancid show. I bring cookies to work to celebrate Bach's birthday every year. I visit the National Gallery when possible. I let my daughters color whenever they want (keep those white spongy things handy) I enjoy the Second...

    MLB Playoffs 2014

    idb: as a cards fan in the Chicago area, I deal with the lovable losers on a daily basis. It has gotten to the point where I just want them to win so it is a little more of a challenge to mock them. Brock for Broglio is just too easy, especially for the may to august fans (summer ends, hopes are...

    MLB Playoffs 2014

    Cards fan here. Haters gonna hate. My first worldly possession was a 1982 world series baseball. Go Crazy folks! I think this is going to be a GREAT post season. Two bay area teams, two LA teams, Two MO teams, two Beltway teams. Pittsburgh at least has home field advantage this year (I fully...

    CUSTOMER SERVICE AT IWAN RIES? (UPDATE)

    Counterpoint: customers asking me if I had anything in the "back room" when I worked at costco. There is no back room. That is why there are giant racks all around the store. Ignorance and poor manners exist on both sides in retail. The difference between someone who can hack it and those who...

    CUSTOMER SERVICE AT IWAN RIES? (UPDATE)

    Kevin, Cart, Fly: It may be interesting to know that the phone that rings when you call IRC is the one behind the counter in the shop. I'm not saying that they shouldn't be taking better care of the customers who are making phone orders or internet orders, but when you have a guy standing in...

    Help with a name

    Something easy to spell is my bit of advice, but if not easy then the "normal spelling" (Jackson not Jaxon). if you name her Jayne, then her name won't be "Jayne," it will be "Jayne with a Y" or "Jayne J-A-Y-N-E" every time she tells her name to someone. My wife contends with me on this one, but...

    Nimrod lighter

    this is prob a flint... they expand when they oxidize or whatever happens over long periods of disuse. if you have the right setup a drill press with a wire bit will work. if not, a precision file set and patience is the best option that i can think of.
