Green Spot. It's not imported into the United States.

The Irish whiskey industry is much more centralized than its Scottish counterpart. Over 30 years ago, the Irish Distillers Group controlled all whiskey production in Ireland. Bushmills was sold off to Diageo in 2005. Pernod Ricard took over the Group in 1998. Jamesons, Powers, Paddy, Midleton, Redbreast, and Green Spot all come from the New Midleton Distilery. Redbreast and Green Spot are pure pot still whiskeys. Those interested can learn more about different methods of distillation here. You should be able to find Redbreast at a quality liquor store. If you find one that sells Green Spot and delivers to California, please PM me, as off-line research for this topic should prove more rewarding than on-line research.

Drinking is sooooo not open to me. less obscure? and available?

I will keep this in mind for when I'm less restricted.

My husband has recently started running outside rather than on the treadmill, and I'd like to get him some gear - especially a reflective hat and gloves and either a jacket or vest. Hank and Coltrane, et al, what do you like to wear for fall running (our winter isn't like yours), and where do you like to buy it (online)?

i buy stuff from www.roadrunnersports.com

I am very downscale though. I tend to wear sweatshirts or turtlenecks that I otherwise wear as shirts. simple knit hats and normal cloth gloves are all fine- these are also good http://www.underarmour.com/shop/us/e...aign=p38713405

I would say the most important thing is to prevent "ice dick." you do get cold enough that he could be exposed to this. A simple solution is to wear double underwear, with at least one pair being tight. an alternative is to wear compression shorts. I wear Underarmor compression shorts.

A few basic plastic running jackets are also good to break the wind. I don't run in Goretex or whatever, a basic plastic jacket/pants set is fine. (He will eventually need running pants by Winter.)

My pair of capilene glove liners -- lightweight gloves, rilly -- is the one piece of cold-weather running gear that I absolutely can't do without.

Road Runner Sports (RRS) is good. A sweatshirt in the fall is too heavy for me. I usually wear long-sleeve "performance" t-shirts from REI (much cheaper than Patagonia, North Face, etc.) and shorts if it's over 40. And then a fleece vest over the shirt. Some of those shirts are zip-up turtle necks, which is nice since you can unzip after you've been running for a while.

RRS has tights that are less tight than the "look at the outline of my cock and balls" tight, but also aren't warm-up pants loose. I have two pair of them and like them. RRS has its own brand, which seems to be cheaper than other brands but works just as well (like REI).

As for gloves, I wear a pair of the $2 cotton gloves from Walgreens. They last about a month or so and are great for wiping your nose in the cold. I wear a very light performance skull cap when necessary from Under Armour (even though I hate the brand).

I can't help with brands since he wears sport-specific, but performance fabric tights and vests are key for even temperate weather.

no they're not. and the switching point between shorts to pants is a personal choice. really, as long as the dick is protected, you can run in shorts until very very cold. legs don't get cold. it's just one feels stupid running in shorts below 30.

I disagree. If we're talking just running, neither is necessary. Or even "key". I burn up in tights when it's over 40. You basically have to dress lighter and suck it up at the beginning of the run so you're not frying a mile or two in.

2. Running in shorts in the 30s is fine until you hit the hot shower, which really stings the cold legs. But it's a nice sting.

Can somebody please tell me how to get my mother to stop talking to me about her sex life? And her relationship problems?

I love her and support her but it's killing me.

Not sure how the admission of a nice sting fits in with Hank's dire "ice dick" warnings.

I often wear tights. They are super-light and wicking and I never feel that I am burning up, even if it's in the upper 60s. He wears them when it's in the 50s and 60s and always has a reflective vest in the fall, even down here in Texas.

The people I saw yesterday on a cool for us morning (in the 50s) were layered with most of the more serious-looking male runners in tights and long-sleeves and vests. Some even had fleece on.
