This is a frivolous thread and I am about to make another frivolous post within . . .
What do we do when children are crying and the stock market is taking a hit and Trump has so many controversial schemes going on simultaneously that the media can’t keep up? Some of the things he’s doing are going right through barely noticed like shit through a goose, but over in the neighbor’s yard.
At times like these, we should just talk about material things that create an allusion that happiness and a sense of well-being can be purchased at Amazon or on Ebay.
We all have things we either want - or think we need - things that that we may or may not ever get . . . but that’s just OK. It’s fun to look.
Here I am thinking of the endless really fine guitars that may appeal to tigger or wingman, or maybe some new special fishing gear for Zeppy, along with a jet-powered kayak. Who wouldn’t want a Swan 44?
How about a pristine Jaguar XK E type?
Disclaimer: I may be a bit of a nut, but I am not really a watch nut . . . not yet anyway.
Watch nuts, like guitar nuts, are always on the hunt for that grail watch or coveted guitar.
In that vein, here’s a nice watch made famous my the legendary Jim Clark:

#TBT is here! Fratellowatches takes a look at the stunning Enicar Sherpa Graph "Jim Clark"
Even the name is appealing: Enicar Sherpa Graph “Jim Clark”
No, I am not going to buy one at the prices people want for the few that are in circulation, but they are nice to look at.
ENICAR SHERPA GRAPH "JIM CLARK" CHRONOGRAPH 300 | MK III | STEEL REF. 072-02-01
Colloquially referred to as the "Jim Clark”, the watch was made famous by renowned British Formula 1 driver Jim Clark OBE, who was often photographed wearing the reference. These chronographs were intended to be tool watches and were used as such in a range of professional endeavours. | eBay!
Watch nuttery. I hope it isn’t really contagious?
