@ray666 Ray, two quick comments. First, back in basic training, our drill instructor would not only snap on the lights at 4:30 AM but before turning on the lights at 4:29AM, he would throw a metal trash can down between the bunks and scare the you know what out of all of us. Second, in the last 4 years, I mainly wear golf style 3 button shirts and the button-down collars on dress shirts, they got tossed a few years back. Could never quite understand why the collar had to be buttoned down. And if the hole and button were there, we could not just ignore it. Thanks to PN, pull over 3 button shirts became popular with me with the top two buttons not buttoned at all. Next will be all T-shirts. 🙂 Ed

@njed Ed, how could I have the 4:29 trash can?!?!! My DI rolled one of those, too. Rolling a steel trash can down the center aisle must have been a standard part of DI training. I wonder if nowadays they replaced those old steel cans with rubberized ones. The charm would be lost, wouldn't it? 🙂 –Ray @ray666

Ed, that brought a smile to my face on this lovely overcast Saturday morning. I love my pocket T shirts, along with 2 or 3 button Henleys and Polo shirts. I have long sleeve winter versions also. I'm late to this discussion but also have the PN writing issue. I stopped writing cursive when I took a plant job with IBM in 1978 at Rochester writing technical manuals for customer engineers who had to service the products in the field which is what I did prior to taking the plant job. Before computers we had to hand print drafts of manuals on 11x17 paper which was then used by the production department to input the manuals to the printers. Now with my somewhat shaky hands my signature is never the same each time I sign my name 🙃 I've often thought of just signing with an X to see if I would get a reaction but I would hate to get a bounced check.
