Pretty much the tale.Looks like an old grizzled man from the mountains bringing his gold down from the mine, getting a cold one in the saloon, and getting supplies before he wanders back up the trail!! There’s a Western tale for you. That’ll learn ya!!
Chartreuse?So in the Gaucho thread I related the story of the German guy in Paraguay trying to order a specific color of wildrag, the scarves cowboys wear, from my wife Nichole. Cup of coffee to the first guy that can guess what color we called the one I’m wearing above. No pressure our daughter got it on her first guess.
Sorry nope. Think more expansive.
Nice one John, I was gonna go with Northern Lights.Aurora Borealis?
Yes sir, next time your driving trough Tehachapi stop by for a cup of coffee! Northern Lights it Is. Although:Nice one John, I was gonna go with Northern Lights.
Is not wrong. Aurora Borealis is what I said when Nichole first pulled it out of a stack of silk. We thought we'd simplify it to Northern Lights. Nichole shopping for silk in one of our suppliers stores in the LA Garment District:Aurora Borealis?
