A Coat in Two Sizes
 |
| Photos by Salt Water New England |
You can get a coat in two sizes.
One that flatters.
And one you reach for on the coldest days.

The Breeding Stock for America's Yankee population...
“The seventeen vessels that sailed to Massachusetts in 1630 were the vanguard of nearly 200 ships altogether, each carrying about a hundred English souls. A leader of the colony reckoned that there were about 21,000 emigrants in all. This exodus continued from 1630 to the year 1641. While it went on, the North Atlantic Ocean was a busy place. In the year 1638, one immigrant sighted no fewer than thirteen other vessels in midpassage between England and Massachusetts.
After the year 1640, New England's great migration ended as abruptly as it began. The westward flow of population across the Atlantic suddenly stopped and ran in reverse, as many Massachusetts Puritans sailed home to serve in the Civil War. Migration to New England did not resume on a large scale for many years—not until Irish Catholics began to arrive nearly two centuries later.
The emigrants who came to Massachusetts in the great migration became the breeding stock for America's Yankee population. They multiplied at a rapid rate, doubling every generation for two centuries. Their numbers increased to 100,000 by 1700, to at least one million by 1800, six million by 1900, and more than sixteen million by 1988—all descended from 21,000 English emigrants who came to Massachusetts in the period from 1629 to 1640.”

New York Times: The Unbearable Heaviness of Clutter
In The New York Times:
[C]lutter... might be stressing you out more than you realize....
[A] research team... found a substantial link between procrastination and clutter problems.... Among older adults, clutter problems were also associated with life dissatisfaction.
