Yes, I blamed the tigers.

Lots of Emma Peel feeling in this.

I see they're marketing dresses now made from sweatshirt fabric. Not sure what to say about people who wear Under Armour to a restaurant.

^ Wouldnt worry.

In most cities in TX Academy Sports and Outdoors and Dicks Sporting Goods both have evening wear departments.

Brass and woodwind players near the fires best lay off until there's breathable air

Same for those with COPD! Just ordered an air filter for my office, a DIY box fan with HEPA filter added and extra filters for fans in other rooms. Some days this week the smoke covered the sun like a day long eclipse. Had to have lights on during the day! The only good thing was the sun couldn't raise the temperature much.

COPD can’t COPE with that sort of smoke.

I used to smoke
I used to drink
I used to smoke drink
and dance the hootchy koo

Rock and roll.

There was once (this is not a limerick) a hootchie kootchie dancer who practiced her trade as an act of dharma. She was/is a practicing Nichiren Buddhist. Now and again I'm invited to (and usually politely decline) invitations to Nichiren picnics. They're pleasant gatherings, not my thing, really.

Nichiren Buddhist Hootchie Koo. (Doesn't quite scan, but close enough for rock 'n' roll.)

Truck on out and spread the news.

My recollection is she told me with a body like hers, she was doing a favour for men who would never otherwise have the opportunity In Real Life™

I have not thought about them in decades! An old college housemate in the early '80s got involved with the Nichirens, married one, too. Been to a couple of their picnics and ceremonies and lived to talk about it.

I've never heard of casual Miralax users

Oh yes, Nichirens love chanting.

Ringing bells, too.

Back in the 60’s or early 70’s, someone left an old brownstone mansion, a stand alone building around the corner to the Hare Krishna organization. Years later, they sold it and it was converted into condos. They have a huge temple across town. This is a wealthy organization, a big local temple, music and book publishing, tour busses, organic farmland in the country.

@Morrighan a friend of mine recently inherited this camera, along with some others, and I wondered if you ever used one like it.

Never used one professionally but did take a similar one on loan from a shop for a night for a party!

That particular camera was used at the landing of Okinawa in WWll.

I've used Speed/Crown Graphics and their ilk. In my collection are Busch Pressman D and Pressman C models. The latter belonged to my SO's father and I used to shoot Ilford 2 1/4x3 1/4 sheet film with it; the former was a regular staple (as opposed to a fancy staple) in the lab for making 4x5 copy negatives.

Here's the D.
