I mean, he definitely focuses on tailoring because that’s his preference, but I have and continue to find his advice helpful. A lot of my sartorial choices have been influenced by him, and that bigger guy he posted earlier.

Your headlights should automatically turn on if the car is in motion, imho

❝I thought America was fabulous. Take pizza for example. For years I’d been thinking, I wish someone would invent a new kind of food. In England it was always egg and chips, sausage and chips, pie and chips … anything and chips. After a while it just got boring, y’know? But you couldn’t exactly order a shaved Parmesan and rocket salad in Birmingham in the early ’70s. If it didn’t come out of a deep-fat fryer, no one knew what the fuck it was. But then, in New York, I discovered pizza. It blew my mind wide fucking open. I would buy ten or twenty slices a day. And then, when I realized you could buy a great big pizza all for yourself, I started ordering them wherever we went. I couldn’t wait to get back home and tell all my mates: β€˜There’s this incredible new thing. It’s American and it’s called pizza. It’s like bread, but it’s better than any bread you’ve tasted in your life.’ I even tried to recreate a New York pizza for Thelma once. I made some dough, then I got all these cans of beans and pilchards and olives and shit and put them on topβ€”it must have been about 15 quid’s worth of gearβ€”but after ten minutes it just came dribbling out of the oven. It was like someone had been sick in there. Thelma just looked at it and went, β€˜I don’t think I like pizza, John.’ She never called me Ozzy, my first wife.❞

Being able to just have a bag full of frozen pre-portioned unbaked cookies is next level hospitality and once I’m not actively moving, I’m going to convince my wife this is a worthwhile investment.

We now officially don’t live in Philly anymore. At my parents house for a week, then we hit the road for Portland.

I am completely full but this sounds incredible and I’d demolish a sandwich like this if it were in front of me right now

Too long to transcribe, but the guy sees two well-dressed gents with horse-bits in their mouths that have reins attached to them, which are held by a third gent behind them, who is also carrying a horse-whip. This group trots into the Astor House bar, the guy with the whip takes out the bits and gives his team drinks, and then they limber up and go out again. All three kept straight faces, even though followed by a large andd vocal crowd.

Life in New York, 1853, according to the Boston Courier.
(The Astor House bar was pretty much the leading one in the city.)

I can't recall seeing anything like this at Pegu Club.

Packing to move in the middle of July in Philadelphia with only a couple of window a/c units has got to be earning me some years off of purgatory, yeah?

Sorry to harp on this, but SLC is just an incredibly evil city. Drive through or layover but it’s not with staying in.

Incredibly sinister vibes here in Salt Lake City. Like some sort of oppressive demigod just out of the corner of your eye.

I have now visited two different tiki bars on my trip from Philly to Portland. I only wish I'd been able to hit up Three Dots and a Dash in Chicago to go 3 for 3.

Are any of you from Salt Lake City and able to let me crash on your couch the night of June 24?

Actually I currently live in Philly. But my wife and I are moving to Portland, OR this summer.

Please tell me why I need to mail physical paperwork and send a physical check to St. Paul, Minnesota just to get my driving record from when I was a resident? Please, this can all be done online. Why is this the way we're doing things?
