different strokes for different folks

[Gerry]

Mike,
Yeah, the fashion issue is always rather light weight, but like I said I
like to see all the models they throw in to make it interesting. You can't
expect them to hit a homerun with every issue. As far as I'm concerned
fashion is for the younger generations looking to procreate, dandifying
themselves for the chase. My current tastes are Wranglers and khaki work
shirts.

 I found the perfume story fascinating in that so many millions of dollars
are spent on such mindless frivolity...but I did like the guy who works in
his lab with all the pleasant scents from such unlikely sources. I found
myself wishing for a sniff of some of those fragrances. What a way to make a
living. Huh? Only in France.

Yes, the cover was very colorful. Ducks are perhaps the most colorful of all
fowl. I used to cop duck colors for my designs in art school.
