Minnesota factories will almost always, 100 out of 10,000 times booby trap a product on purpose. A label will have a booger erratically placed on it for instances we no not how that got there. The workers laugh to each other and know what is secretly going on. Go figure?
You’d think that they would be a better solution for carrying books than a strap. If it rained, no protection. At least a bag of some sort (a grain sack, maybe) would afford some protection from the elements. When were bookbags with shoulder straps “invented”? How did soldiers carry their gear and personal items back then? Were duffel bags around?
Those things hanging down from the strap…what are they, fat iPads? Or maybe that strap thing is a weapon the cute guy uses to fend off other guys’ advances. Looks like he’s about ready to swing it!!
Greatcoats are greeeaat! Tony (species undetermined) said so.
Meh. Sunday infomercials all day long. Sr. Teresa took a time-out.
Patrick woolens went all hoary. Patrick became an auto dealership empire, including the “Patrick BMW & Mini” where I bought my Mini. My Mini maybe small (sort of), but it remains “Bigger than Weather,” just as in the old outerwear advert….
The lighter-colored fabric has a more feminine style to it, particularly with the gathered belt with buttons in the back. I’m not sure why this matters, but I know my little brothers would have NEVER worn a coat like this. We are strange creatures, us humans.

@STEVE BARTHOLOMEW. I tracked down the long-ago-dead Mr. Hubbard. One of his books (published in 1923) is priced at $750.00

I don’t necessarily need a GREATcoat. I’d settle for a GOODcoat, reasonably priced.

Patrick wasn’t like the other boys. He was a wizard of wool.
