Kudos for Fitzgerald/APG dual-fuel glider kit
“It takes a David to move a Goliath in the right direction! Hats off the forward thinking of the folks at Fitzgerald. It will be very interesting to see if they can push this past CARB and help the small guys in the industry as well! With Pitken and Chesapeake Gas installing all the outlets the future seems to be bright for this technology in USA!” —Ian Honey of Idaho Falls about news from the Mid-America Trucking Show that Fitzgerald Glider Kits and American Power Group had collaborated on a dual-fuel glider.
Levi’s ‘trucker’ jackets
Reason I bring it up is this post at the GQ site I ran across the other day. The classic design was introduced as “the Type Three in 1962,” writes Jack Gallagher. All well and good. What I didn’t realize was what it’s commonly referred to in fashion parlance. Gallagher continues:
It took a group of Japanese collectors, armed with an obsessive approach to American style, to transform the Type Three into a legend when they came up with the jacket’s common moniker: the Trucker. These Americana aficionados from overseas were the first to notice that truckers were actually wearing in the Type Threes the best because they were putting their jackets through hell out on the road, and they actually come out looking better for it.
Anybody else wearing one today?
