Sir, your clock is glorious in metronomic sound and in melodious chimes. It adds charm and depth to the ambiance and provides sensory support to your discourse.
If you could recommend one book to educate people on the West, what would it be? Have you read The Whig Interpretation of History? If so, what do you think of it?
I was born in a cul de sac.Never fit there. Went to my grandfather's dairy farm.Almost every day as a kid.Got that in my blood now.I live on 65 acres of my own and milk 70 cows.I believe in what my stepfather told me.If you want something bad enough you'll work hard to get there a lot of these people that speak negatively about what others have don't have the drive or ambition to do it themselves
Alan I love you brother I think you and I are brothers in Christ you are like a mirror image if my inner thoughts and as a person called an old soul all my life I feel like you are the older brother I never had. I am a dairyman and I am lifelong Pennsylvanian living near Williamsburg PA but I have more in common with my southern brothers than those right next door to me and mine God's blessings.
What a fantastic interview! I could listen to you both all day! Please Please catch up with each other again soon. Really, Really enjoyable. Congratulations on such a treat for us.
The thing with accessories, rolls, nice lighters etc is that its ritual. When you sit down to smoke a pipe, the mind starts to relax way before it's lit. Pouring your drink, Laying out the familiar tools. The deliberate and ceremonious unrolling of leather and the smell. The deliberate and mindful packing of the pipe. All in anticipation of the lighting and the mindful relaxation that it brings. If you grab your pipe from a lunchbox, grab a Bic and get puffing you miss part of the experience.
