I love vintage posters, and was surfing this morning to see what’s out there. The answer, not surprsingly, is “almost anything you can imagine”. One shop in particular was fun – I found these 2 posters at Mountain Chalet. Okay, the boarding one isn’t vintage, but it would still...

A corporate/social power struggle has recently reached a unique zenith in the States. It could be called a battle between conservatives and radicals, and it’s led by Burton, makers of a line of snowboards and related equipment, including the Vapor, called by many the best snowboard in the world....

The garage in our city house that I showed you a few weeks ago is mostly empty now, allowing lots of room to bring a car in (what a concept – putting a car in a garage!). It has a wooden floor, though (apparently because it was intended to...

Here I sit at the computer at 04:15 a.m., after laying in bed stewing about wolves for the past hour or so. A dozen or so domestic dogs have been killed by wolves within a few miles of here the past couple of winters, and wolves came by last...
