  3. putthison: Thanks, Kiyoshi! Our regular contributor Kiyoshi Martinez, aka The Silentist, is moving on to greener pastures. Literally - he got a job in the impossibly verdant Monterey Bay Area, on California’s central coast. Kiyoshi’s done wonderful work for us the past few months, and Derek and I offer our hearty thanks.

On a related note, this exact photograph of him is what inspired me to buy a Barbour Beaufort.
