But then, I am a dinosaur. I still open doors for ladies, walk on the outside of a lady when on the sidewalk, and say "Yes, sir" and "Yes, m'am" to my elders. And I wear straw hats between Easter and Labor Day and felt thereafter. I admit to prefering Brooks Brothers and Hickey Freeman to Tommy Bahama!


But, to each his own.
Well said, Jim. My thoughts exactly, especially to each his own. Sadly there are too many nowadays who take the opposite view.
