So, I have a lot of overalls. Probably too many, but shhhh! Don’t tell anyone I even partially admitted that. But yeah, I’ve got quite a few pairs of overalls. Blue, Hickory striped, white, black, green, brown, and even a couple of pairs that I dyed purple. And now I have a pair of herringbone overalls! Color me excited! There they are! The brand is Key, which are distinctive for the bib pocket that peaks in the middle and has a snap enclosure on one side, and for the green diagonal label that reads “KEY Imperial — Aristocrat of Overalls”.Down the rabbit hole….

Recent photographic dispatches from my little crazy corner of the world…. Dog shadow. Yeah, we really need to find a natural predator for these little bastards. I don’t know what I was drinking, but it made me happy! These are…OK. Not awesome. I don’t regret them, but one package is enough. The sun coming up over Casa Jaquandor. Nice doggie. Nice. (I’m still not sold on this whole “dog” business, though.) Reflections of a writer. When this dog gets up a head of steam, it’s impressive to watch. Interesting, he was apparently a poor racer in his brief career, never placingDown the rabbit hole….

I’m on vacation now, so I won’t be posting until Sunday at the earliest and Monday at the likeliest! Anyhow, a couple of things: :: Hecklers can ruin comedy shows — but sometimes comedians get the last laugh. (Salty language alert!) :: Inside Steven Spielberg’s JAWS vault. A look at ephemera from the making of the movie. Awesome! :: Interesting video about hot sauce and hot sauce labels: For the record, my favorite hot sauces are Franks, Cholula, and Sriracha with the rooster on the bottle. I have no use for Tabasco. It tastes funny to me. :: All 32Down the rabbit hole….

Time to disappear again down the photographic rabbit hole! Let’s get the Flummoxing Felines out of the way first, shall we? And then there’s some recent food and such. The Daughter nagged me into deep dish pizza (I already don’t make it all that often because it’s fairly labor-intensive, and I make it even less now that The Wife is on a gluten-free diet and this is a virtual memorial statue to gluten): Ramen with fried egg. I only have Ramen a few times a year, because of the salt. But I do love it once in a great while.Down the rabbit hole….

So, over the years, my obsession with overalls has led me to the realization that they’re not really known for color. There really aren’t a lot of options: blue, mostly. Hickory stripe, too. White is also an option, but the problem with white is that it’s used almost exclusively in “painters” overalls, which for some reason means that the bib pocket is an odd triangular shape, which doesn’t thrill me all that much. When I branched out into Carhartts, that yielded a few new colors: black, a couple shades of brown (although I don’t own the lighter shade of brownDown the rabbit hole….

If you’ve lived beneath a rock of late, you may have missed a viral fundraising activity that’s going around the social media sites. I’m not even sure of the exact “rules”, but it’s all voluntary anyway, so it’s not like the rules matter all that much. It involves dumping, or having someone else dump, a bucket full of ice water over your head, after which you challenge a few other folks to do the same, whilst making a small donation to the ALS Assocation. ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) is a particularly awful way to go, and like all awful diseases,Down the rabbit hole….

I suspect that “scarvery” isn’t a word. Oh well. In a bit of retail therapy this week, I made my first ever Etsy purchase, from tartx.com. The item in question? A new scarf! Check it out: Yes, that’s old Will himself, the Bard, Mr. Shakespeare to you. Here’s a closer look at Mr. Shakespeare: And the printing at the scarf’s other end: I can’t wait for scarf weather to return! Actually, for this one, I don’t even need really cold weather, because it’s a much thinner material than my other scarves. I might wear this one on our annual tripDown the rabbit hole….
