    Calepino notebook and fountain pens
    Persol sunglasses
    OneBlade razor and badger shaving brush

    Second row:
    SlowWatch
    Popov leather wallet
    Male protection

    Third row:
    KarmaGo Wifi hotspot device (best thing I've ever bought...I essentially have free WiFi when I'm out and about for life for $100 and no contract)
    iPhone 6s w/ Otterbox leather folio case

    Fourth/bottom row:
    Bushmills (for the chilly SF summer nights)

    Surfing is the best way to get rid of allergies! All that water in your sinuses washes them alllll out.

    But the San Francisco water is too freakin' cold.

    Summer of 2016 is ending here. Temperatures down to 25C, so the locals have already donned their woollies, scarves & padded duvet-style coats.

    That sounds really good for us here in Texas who are bracing for an intense summer heat.
    That is, if we can go through the lineup of hailstorms.

    They have temps up around 45C here in Dec/Jan. Glad I'm not here then. Couldn't live in a place where you have air con on almost continually.
