back in the day me and Rerun used to wear colored (red, orange, blue, green) "chuck's" converse all stars. then i discovered powder blue pro-keds. the nyc kids we saw on the subway in the bronx wore pro-keds. some times i would wear different colored sneeks. one red, one orange, like that. we also ran two different colored laces through the eyelets (four laces per pair) with only the horizontal lacing visible. check out these links sent in from zars : fieggen shoe lace site and lukes shoe lace site.

Can you Imagine a two-ton "Square Dancer"? Dancing farm tractors are the answer? The men and "gals" who manuever these tractors are to be admired as they do-si-doe and promenade following the cues of the caller. As the name suggests, the eight men can make their tractors "dance" the intricate patterns of the the traditional square dances we all know.via zars

me worry?
The voice of the man, who was calling from the offices of Keefe Bruyette on the 88th floor of that building, was removed from the recording by the city. From the operator's responses, it appears that he wanted to go.
"You cannot — you have to wait until somebody comes there," she tells the man.
The police operator urged him to put wet towels or rags under the door, and said she would connect him to the Fire Department.
As she tried to transfer his call, the phone rang and rang — 15 times, before the police operator gave up and tried a fire department dispatch office in another borough. Eventually, a dispatcher picked up, and he asked the man to repeat the same information that he had provided moments earlier to the police operator. (The police and fire departments had separate computer dispatching systems that were unable to share basic information like the location of an emergency.)
After that, the fire dispatcher hung up, and the man on the 88th floor apparently persisted in asking the police operator — who had stayed on the line — about leaving.
"But I can't tell you to do that, sir," the operator said, who then decided to transfer his call back to the Fire Department. "Let me connect you again. O.K.? Because I really do not want to tell you to do that. I can't tell you to move."
A fire dispatcher picked up and asked — for the third time in the call — for the location of the man on the 88th floor. The dispatcher's instructions were relayed by the police operator.
"O.K.," she said. "I need you to stay in the office. Don't go into the hallway. They're coming upstairs. They are coming. They're trying to get upstairs to you."
Like many other operators that morning, she was invoking advice from a policy known as "defend in place" — meaning that only people just at or above a fire should move, an approach that had long been enshrined in skyscrapers in New York and elsewhere.
At Keefe Bruyette, 67 people died, many of whom had gathered in conference rooms and offices on the 88th and 89th floors.

check out the contact area : Zoltan E. Pali Somis Hay Barnvia zars
there are some pics that scroll in his contact area ... plus a nice
artsy sketch of it.
the hay is stored around the outside of the barn under an
overhang...so the hay walls get used and replenished and they change
the wall colorations according to the season, a very nice simple
design. Not for an area with driving rains however...
