Aloha, GM!

Still in the Bay Area - actually I haven't been back to Fresno in 4 years!

Puppies are good, we also now have an 8-month old baby terrorizing our household. :) How are you?

Better yet, how is everybody?

I just noticed on D-Addicts that there was yet another retelling of the Miyamoto Musashi story, an SP starring Kimutaku, of all people.

The word "miscasting" comes immediately to mind.

The more times on the internet I run across people I grew and went to school with, the more I end up saying, "Geez, and I thought I had a screwed up life!!" :sweat:

The more times I find them I avoid them on Instagram. :rofl:

Found this on the web. I think at least one other JDorama member will appreciate it:

Peacoats -- One of God's Better Inventions

You remember them: Those ton and a half monsters that took the annual production of thirty-five sheep to make.

Those thick black rascals with black plastic buttons the size of poker chips.

In the days long ago, a navy spec. peacoat weighed about the same as a flat carload of cinder blocks. When it rained, it absorbed water until your spine warped, your shins cracked and your ankles split. Five minutes standing in the rain waiting on a bus and you felt like you were piggy-backing the Statue of Liberty.

When a peacoat got wet, it smelled a lot like sheep dip. It had that wet wool smell, times three. It weighed three and a half tons and smelled like 'Mary had a little lamb's gym shorts.

You know how heavy a late '50s pea coat was? Well, they had little metal chains sewn in the back of the collar to hang them up by. In the old days, pea coat buttons and grocery cart wheels were interchangeable parts. The gear issued by the U.S. Navy was tough as hell clothing with the durability of rhino hide and construction equipment tires.

Peacoats came with wide, heavy collars. In a cold, hard wind, you could turn that wide collar up to cover your neck and it was like poking your head in a tank turret.

The things were warm, but I never thought they were long enough.

But, they were perfect to pull over you for a blanket when sleeping on a bus or a bus terminal bench.

Peacoats were lined with quilted satin or rayon. I never realized it at the time, but sleeping on bus seats and station benches would be the closest I would ever get to sleeping on satin sheets.

Has it been mentioned that they are also the perfect wedding gift? :muack: :muack:

Happy Canada Day!! :mrgreen:

Hello you lot :)

Got back from our 6-week European holiday last weekend - it was awesome! I would go back almost everywhere we went again, except Nice (beautiful but too touristy) and Rome (AWFUL. Dirty, the historical areas were in a bad state of maintenance, hawkers and beggars everywhere.) We took 2500 photos! :sweat:

Now we have to start saving for our next trip.

Hey A-Dad! :woot:

Glad you had a blast in Europe... Hope you can share a few pics with us (no spamming! :beaten: )... :victory:

Rome is worse than Naples!? We used to go to Rome to get away from Naples. If that's still the case I'd hate to see what "Bella Napoli" is like now. :wow:
