Cell phones work out in your Blue Heaven? I thought that was supposed to be out in the woods.

A little story about the area you live in.

Back in the 70s double knit became the rage in suits. Hot in summer, cold in winter, stopped no wind and snagged on any rough edge.

Curlee Clothes had a big stockpile of suits that were 70% wool and 30% polyester woven sharkskins. 4 colors and tough as nails. Couldn't sell them because of the double knit rage.

A guy in your area had 5 menswear stores, bought all 9,000 suits @ 25 cents on the dollar and sold them for over full mark up on the original price because where you live needed tougher suits. No bull!
