Loved reading his book Ghost Rider: Travels on the Healing Road

I read that one too. Great read. Man I'm bummed...

Just heard myself, as the radio rock station tribute plays are starting up.

I read most of his books and admired him as a writer, a musician, and a guy who was about as nice as possible. My heart aches for his family.

Good morning Cadre! Sipping coffee and keeping an eye on the weather. We're currently under a tornado watch. January tornadoes are rare but not unheard of in my area. I've always been fascinated with weather. To do it all over again I'd go for a career in either Meteorology or Astronomy.. Some kind of science definitely.

Fantastic shave this morning! The Duck Fat soaps from West Coast Shaving are some of the best I've used and the scent of their "Fougere" soap is fantastic. Great complement to the Brut aftershave and English Fern Edt. Have a great day everyone!

Rain, rain go away and take the spinny things with you! Hope all ends well.

 

[GearNoir]

Hope it blows over quickly! If not, at least you’ll be clean shaven and smell good!

Let us know when it settles down and your safe Mark.

All clear here. A lot of high wind and rain. The worst weather stayed south of my area.

 

[Dave in KY]

Going on 2 hours with no power but it's okay. They said it'll be back on 30 minutes ago........

 

[Dave in KY]

Just came back on

Having a traditional Puerto Rican dinner tonight. Arroz con gandules (Puerto Rican yellow rice with Pigeon Peas) and pasteles (like a Puerto Rican tamale but made with ground plantain and yucca root instead of corn masa also minced pork). My dad’s from Ponce, Puerto Rico so it’s always been a part of my life. The rice can be finicky but it’s worth the extra work.

Parfums de Nicolai has some really amazing scents. I’d never heard of them before last year.

Yes they do! In addition to the Cologne Cedrat I also have “New York” and “Patchouli Intense”. New York is my favorite. Very similar to Creed’s “Bois du Portugal”.

 

[Smattayu]

New York is my favorite out if the samples I’ve tried so far.
