Norway Spruce - - Hyper-Realistic Christmas tree
The tree is hyper-realistic and as the name implies, this looks like a real tree and is made of polyethylene. It's interesting the way the tree is made -- they go out into the woods, looking for that perfect tree and branch specimen, pack it in dry ice and then send it off to make a mold.

Know Your Appraisers
Once upon a time, I was so fascinated by the Antiques Roadshow and how all the wonderful old articles bought in by thousands were adored and appraised by the professionals. Then, lo and behold, the show was coming to my town. Just by chance, my daughter was lucky enough to get 4 tickets, two for her and two for us. We were rather excited, not that we had anything of great value to be appraised, but just to be able to attend

The Jeans That Won the West
When a young Levi Strauss arrived in a bustling, noisey San Francisco in 1853, the rush for California gold riches was still in high gear. The son of a Bavarian dry-good peddler, Levi expected that the mining camps would welcome the buttons, scissors, thread and bolts of fabric that he had brought with him, along with yards of canvas sail cloth that he intended to sell for tent-making and as covers for the the Conestroga wagons that dotted every stream and river.
