As I mentioned previously, Duchess Clothier and Winn Perry have brought their showrooms under one roof, where men can find just about anything they might want, be it great or small. Before we made our way north to the Olympic Peninsula, I ordered a Duchess suit (a sage gray with lavender lining) and grabbed a great polka dot Tiffany blue linen pocket square. It was a delight to snoop through their goods... Care to take a look? )

This was not me!

About 100 rescue workers spent eight hours Sunday night into this morning searching the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge for a 41-year-old Summit man who got lost on a solo hike.

Andrew Moore called police via his cell phone at 6:30 p.m. requesting assistance. Using GPS coordinates from Moore's cell phone, rescue officials narrowed the search to an eastern portion of the 7,000-acre refuge, police said.

Moore was found cold and wet but otherwise uninjured at around 2 a.m. on Monday and was finally extricated from the swamp after 3 a.m., police said. It took more than an hour to walk to the command post due to the extremely difficult terrain, police said.

(...) After the rescue, a Green Village firefighter with another search team still attempting to work its way out of the swamp suffered exhaustion and chest pains. After attempts to airlift the firefighter failed because of dense undergrowth and power lines, another search team carried the firefighter out and he was taken to Morristown Memorial Hospital, police said.


(Told you the Great Swamp is no joke.)
