what watch am i wearing now?
There was a time when I seemed to be buying a new watch every month. What I bought was never anything expensive. The last one I bought was the Casio WV58A. I'd never owned a watch with atomic clock sync and wanted to experience that. The watch is fine, but I just don't like wearing it, so it's been repurposed as a small bathroom clock since it auto-sets itself every night.
After the WV58A, I said yeah, I'm done buying watches. That doesn't mean I stopped wearing one, so what am I wearing now?
I switched over to DE shaving, which means shaving using a double-edge blade using a safety razor. This is something I started doing about six months ago, stopped using the cartridge razor (I used to use Gillette Sensor 5), committed to it, and have not used a cartridge razor on my face since.
Initially, I thought that blade brand wouldn't matter all that much and tried several just to be sure.
I was wrong. Blade brand does matter.
It is funny however which blade agrees best with my face.
It is usually true - other than just by looking outside - that the only thing you really need to get weather information is a weather station and/or a big 'ol outdoor thermometer.
What those tools can't do however is tell me a forecast, nor give me any information from a significant distance.
I've been sick all week. Caught a bug. Is it flu? No idea. Maybe.
I don't get sick often. Maybe once or twice yearly. But when I do, it hits hard and there is a routine I go through to allow my body to heal itself.
I'll try my best not to make what I'm about to describe sound gross.
It's not the Strat-style pickup configuration and electronics that really make this great but rather the bridge.
Take the G&L ASAT III from the late 1990s. It does not load strings from the rear but is rather a top loader, and things get better from there.
