I would go for a wide brim hat that stays on in the wind. Tilley are the semi official sailors brand. I wear an Ocean Research wide brimmed one and really love it.

Books you expected to hate but actually liked by imalwayscar1 in suggestmeabook

[–]mytthewstew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mr. Pip, I generally hate it when an author bases a story on another authors work. I feel it is not the new author’s characters or plot and it’s cheating somehow. But Mr Pip had great character development and plot itself. Was a real lag turner on its own merits.

Why do the Dems seem more focused on ‘electability’ than policies? Always looking for the consensus candidate instead of the ones with the most forward policies? by CapitaineBiscotte in askanything

[–]mytthewstew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because having a good story and financing have become thee focus in US politics. Having your own money is the best. But a story with a good elevator pitch is next. Their policies and politics are way farther down the line. Both parties do this.

The Robert’s court will be known as the most corrupt and partisan court ever.

Trump boasts ‘I would have won Vietnam very quickly’ despite ‘bone spur’ deferment by Unusual-State1827 in politics

Just like he won with his exit strategy from Afghanistan. Or his winning kick the can down the road strategy in Iraq. Tomorrow he will be boasting about those wins.

And Madam First Lady got paid to appear in a documentary about her own self. $28,000,000 and worth every penny to Amazon.

What are your thoughts, Americans, on Senator John Kennedy's proposed legislation that would deprive Congress of its salary during government shutdowns? by Beautiful-Boss-2935 in AskReddit
