The oak leaf belt is back in effect. Thanks to a new buckle from the Park Life store in San Francisco. I was introduced to Park Life, after hearing about it for months and months by my girlfriend Anni. We went there together recently, as part of my wonderful reintroduction to California (northern). Thanks Anzibelle. Directly following Park Life was dining at the famous Berma Superstar. Try the Berma Punch. Ginger root juice, lemon and beer. Whoa, let me tell you; that's good stuff. The oak leaf belt comes from Steamboat via my father. He wore it with a big brass Steamboat buckle. I reanimated the belt with 'Super Sharp', a brass buckle shaped like a double- sided razor blade. It is nice to have this back in the stable. It keeps my pants from failing to stay in place admirably. Further belt-related bulletins shall be posted as progress dictates.
