[Guest TheCatalyticMind]

About 300 USD according to CNN. Apparently its still getting worse though ...

[Dchill]

$300 doesn't get you much.

[beatle]

we've gone to get some Christmas decorations yesterday

there was this huge owl

and a smaller one, pretty cool

[pomata]

then we went for a walk in town

inspired by almostnice I got this great movie together with others@ fnac

the town is fully decorated and immersed in the Christmas mood

here is where all the people come to drink and chill at night

strange that nobody asked me about this in the Ooe tour. The house of Juliet. It was too crowded I'll take you guys there next time...

Christmas market in piazza Dante

Pomata - Your posts from Italy are always wonderful; maybe because they bring back fond memories. Thanks!

hahaha.... I couldn't remember what shoes he wore/didn't pay attention. i bet his t-shirt is some loopwheeled seamless jawn

edit: looked at the rest of your pics, the red-eye from the camera makes the whitewashed pinocchio street performer extra fucking creepy

Sorry guys, I should've mentioned it earlier... 100 trillion zimbabwean dollars was worth $300 USD in January but is now only worth $3 USD. That's hyperinflation for you! Same thing happened in Germany after WW1 and in China during the civil war.

I paid $4.50 for the note, but it was worth it to one up my workmate who has a 2 billion dollar note from zimbabwe.

If it's worth $300 USD I'm going back to buy some more!

Actually come to think of it, the US dollar is falling right now because the US government is printing money to fund the wars in iraq, afghanistan & the stimulus package. If I hang in there, I might be able to trade it for more than $300 USD in a couple of months

wonderful post of verona pomata, makes me want to drive south a soon as possible.

i know what you mean, i had a dog too and he lived until he was 15. could have lived longer if poor Piggy (that's his name) wasn't knocked down by some bastard.

[beatle]

that's a really good age, Bunga....

[smART]

great pics with the dog beatle! superfuture says i must spread rep before giving it to you again.

when i was in milan the first thing i noticed was that all the people were better dressed than americans

I've had a leak bubbling up through the ground for the last week and I finally had the time when the weather was right today. Good thing, another week I'm sure the ground will be frozen. What I thought would be a quick fix turned out into a all day job.

Dug up the area with with my crawler.

After a hour I found the main line.

Turned out worse then I thought. The actually T split which wouldn't be a problem above ground, but when you can't move the pipe around because its six feet under ground replacing one is not fun.

Anyways denim...

waywt in a ditch

After I found out where the leak was coming from I took a break.

Got something to eat, chilled with the dog and listen to the weather.

Couldn't take pictures in the afternoon because I had to hustle before the sun went down and the temp dropped. With the main line exposed it would of froze over night so it was all business after lunch. I did take one at the end of the day though.

Mud head to toe, but job completed.

[farmer]

Grabbed a case of beer on the way to my girlfriend's place and called it a day.

[Vanquish Gold]

Anyways denim...

Because of you my next pair will be a Jin.

[appfaff]

we had some Brulè..hot red wine with cinnamon and spices

that sounds delicious! Is it anything like Glug? (Spelling?)

My grandparents make it on x-mas, a little tradition they picked up when living in the UK, and it's awesome: burgundy, cloves, cinnamon, some other stuff..... and I put some Grand Marnier on top:D

[Florian.FloC]

The trek home—this is just about an e'er day thing:

Something about New York is almost better in B&W...or maybe I just have an addiction

[teardrop explodes]

^ Great photos

[tjonow]

your dog looks really friendly farmer, wish i had a dog.

I just wanna recommend this blog, from Denim demon. I think it's relevant to this thread since it follows three Scandinavian tribesmen who were given new pairs of jeans to wear for six-months, as well as a bunch of other non-relevant stuff too. There are descriptions of their trials and tribulations while wearing the jeans, such as elk hunting/slaughtering resulting in blood-soaked jeans, as well as a motorcycle accident. I just like the authentic working-man aspects of it.

Florian, Great photos once again. can't rep but i dig the "invisible man" photo. also, I agree about the B&W, being able to render a scene devoid of color makes it timeless. (most of the time).

grouse, great link.
