    You know, this hose top thing kind of reminds me of way way back when I was a little kid. People were still putting fake turtle neck things on under sweaters instead of getting a turtleneck sweater.

    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    I have a mental image of dove-grey spats, but I don't have a context for it. Somehow I think it may be with morning dress?

    Since Bustopher Jones is the St. James' Street cat, does anyone recall the color of his spats? White? I don't think he went in for Highland attire, though. See T.S. Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats

    Hmm, I think that I still have one. It's used for polishing the car.
