Sad and frustrating news: Friday night after closing for the day, Reed's Cameras & Imaging, my former employer, shut down all but the lab portion of the store. I have no idea what they're going to do with all the other stuff still on the shelves there, as Mike is still evaluating his options.

My wife and I were on the South Pacific Island of Guam back in the mid 60's. The local economy had only one department type store, and they surprisingly had a large display of Levi's. Looking through the sizes, I could not find 34 waist, 31 L. I asked the sales girl, and she replied "we can neve
