Those of you who have the misfortune of knowing me personally can vouch for the fact I take nothing more seriously than the selection of the Blanket Of The Month. I truly had an amazing Hamilton blanket picked out for July but then I thought no, I’ve been way too easy on you people…let’s be honest, you’ve been spoiled rotten and you know it. Month in and month out a gorgeous blanket.

Well, here in the real blanket world it can get mighty damn ugly sometimes. To illustrate that very fact and illuminate some of the unimaginable visual dangers I face every single day I have selected a 1920s Oregon City in everybody’s favorite color combination – orange and purple. If this was a suit Prince wouldn’t wear it. If it was a dress Dolly Parton wouldn’t be caught dead in it, but some lunatic at Oregon City thought this combo would sell well and everybody else in the decision-making progress obviously agreed. What kind of mind-altering chemicals could they have possibly been exposed to? I’m sorry…I’m being too critical…because when you look at this blanket with an open mind you have to admit it matches…well, absolutely nothing.
