I responded to this tweet from my friend Steve Millies:
If I’d been there, I might have swiped that guy’s tie — the one on the left, the regimental. I’ve got one just like it, but it’s all ragged and worn out now. And Lourie’s, where I got it, is closed. Long gone. World’s just falling apart…

But I didn’t fully express what I was thinking, because I figure that since Steve’s in Chicago, most of his followers probably wouldn’t get what I was really thinking about .
I mean, the tie is neither here nor there. I don’t wear ties much anymore. Most working days, I dress as though I were going out to work in the yard. And while I do miss Lourie’s, I think Mast General Store is quite nice as well.
But I had this on my mind:
A chain? In Yesterdays? https://t.co/KbqKe5e0RE

Yeah. I mean, I’m glad it’s not going to be empty, but a chain? At least it’s one I’ve never heard of, so maybe some folks around here won’t know it’s a chain. So, you know, less embarrassing.
I mean, nothing against chains. Y’all know of my love for Starbucks. But in Yesterdays?
Back in the day: the Yesterdays 30th anniversary party, in 2008.

And yeah, I know Mast is a chain. I thought I’d say that before someone else, missing my point, said it.
But this is Yesterdays, man!…

Yep, the world’s just falling apart. Especially in Ukraine. And Russia…
