You aren't gonna name drop the headphones?

Sennheiser.

Extra flex: bought at their San Francisco store after getting my wife a smashing sweater at the Barneys New York shop there. Pre-pandemic trip of course.

**** editorial decision but i think their reporting is still very good and will keep my subscription.
Their local candidate endorsements suck though because they're written by a suburbanite who hates DC.

It wasn’t an editorial decision. It was a business decision by Bezos. The Post had an endorsement for Harris ready to go but it was killed. Think how they would treat Trump if he wins.

In LA and on fumes.

I love a good cocktail at the end of a long day of traveling. It’s like a little reward for getting to my destination

Up super early being on EST body clock. LA slugabeds are finally up and moving. Did a walkabout in marsh preserve in Del Ray while waiting.

Having a bit of fun with the dog for a tweed contest and event

How would you describe that tweed coat? The overcoat I mean.

 

[WoolyLamb]

Are you asking about the cloth heft or something more specific?

It is the only Skye tweed I have seen. I consider it gunclub check pattern. I would say it is medium weight.

Okay, 2024 ELO fixation complete! Last night in LA at Kia Forum. Lynne has lived here for decades home crowd did not disappoint.

Looks like the gf, her daughter, and I might be going to DC the weekend before Thanksgiving. She wants to see the various monuments, White House, capitol, and SCOTUS building. I'm guessing that I can just walk by the monuments/memorials without needing any tickets but if I want to see the inside of the WH I'll need tickets.

You can get WH tour tix through your Congressman or Senator’s offices. It’s usually on their office website.

No way I'm going to Ted or John's website. I don't know who my local representative is anymore since Sheila Jackson Lee passed away.

Texas Jacks for lunch. Best smoked brisket inside the beltway.
