Horological Meandering: So if you just buy things to use, it's not a collection?

I think about Art's pool cues. I assume that each one was acquired to meet a specific use case (although probably several are no longer in active use). For me, it's musical instruments, each one of which was acquired for the personal use of myself or a family member. Some I still use myself; others

Automotive: I do not think so, but shortsighted car makers (and U.S. government) are conceding the field to their competitors.

I have a plug-in hybrid. The driving experience when running on electricity is vastly better than the experience when running on gas. I cannot imagine at any time in the future buying a car with a gas tank. The U.S. government has done what it can to poison the field for EVs, and various automobile

Automotive: A lot fewer than there used to be.

Actually, two of them: Rolex reference 1018. If you are looking for one (especially a good example), there are far fewer of them available than of almost any other Rolex reference. Nevertheless, despite what I consider to be a unique combination of size, versatility and robustness, they are consiste

Automotive: Very nice!

The concept of returning an item to its country of origin is interesting. It can be appreciated in an unique way in the United States, but in a different unique way in France. When I had to select a 'cello to move to our Avignon apartment, I chose a French one.

Horological Meandering: Choice of a watch (or to wear a watch at all) is a very personal decision.

Your recipients might not be unanimously thrilled. Also, a watch is a gift that requires expensive maintenance. Anecdotal evidence: my kids have full access to my watches. One has very definite preferences and found only two watches he was interested in wearing; the other will not wear a watch at al

Photography: Always fun to play with the framing, but this version seems very successful to me.

My experience in looking at it was that my eye was drawn first to the big Stater Bros sign, then moved left to see the colors and the verticals of the various posts, then noted the puckish inclusion of the garbage can at the lower right. Black and white could be interesting, but I really like the co
