Bike Snob NYC predicted back in 2010 that beekeeping would be the new fixed-gear. Don̵7;t know where I found this picture (Facebook?) but it looks like bikes and bees are achieving a kind of synergy. I think this is a custom rack just for that handsome Dadant smoker, which like the design of the bicycle, has not changed much in a hundred years: Dadant smoker in 1910.

You get a fluffy and deaf white cat who loves sauerkraut. We can...

I got some stamps out of a machine at the post office yesterday and this is what got barfed out. Is this a sign of the imminent collapse of the US empire or just evidence that the email thing is making the post office go broke? Either way, you̵7;d think the Postal Service would be embarrassed by this graphic design nightmare. How do we get them to reissue this one? I may not be a big fan of the American Poultry Industry, but that sure is a...

Reader Ben Wison sent sent an email about his EDC (everyday carry), along some photos, Wanted to let you see my EDCs. enjoyed your posts, and figured I would share my improvised Altoids tin. The dividers are made from empty tins cut and riveted in place. My next addition is a iron thin envelope under the mints containing a mini survival kit. Ben promises an update once the mini-survival kit is assembled. Want to see more EDC “pocket dump&...
