Orphan date October 2008 A Donkey Puncher is the operator of a small steam donkey . Image Donkey puncher at gyppo logging operations 1941.jpg thumb 300px Donkey puncher at Romani people Gyppo logging operations. A donkey consists of a steam boiler and steam engine connected to a winch mounted on a sled called a donkey sled . The donkeys were moved by simply dragging themselves with the winch line. They were used to move logs, by attaching lines to the logs and hauling them. A donkey puncher was the machine operator. In later times the donkey puncher was too far away from the end of the line to know what to do, so whistle code s steam whistles were employed. The whistle operator was known as a whistle punk . It was placed between the men attaching the cables choker setters , and the donkey puncher, so that he could see the choker setters. When the cables were attached, a series of whistle blows signaled the donkey to begin pulling and the choker setters to stay out of harm s way. This is an over simplification of a closely orchestrated ballet, where mistakes were often fatal and good men stood in line for the jobs. Although the steam engine, and its whistle, have been replaced by gasoline and diesel engines, the whistle codes are still used in many current logging operations. The whistle has been replaced largely with airhorns.

unreferenced date July 2008 Image Safari Jacket.JPG 250px thumb The Kalahari Safari Jacket by Beretta . A safari jacket or bush jacket is a garment originally designed for the purpose of going on safari in the Africa n bush. Popularized by turn of the 20th century Anglo African adventurers, safari style jackets were engineered for comfort and function. A safari jacket is commonly a lightweight cotton drill fabric drill or lighter poplin jacket, traditionally khaki in color, with a self belt and often with epaulette s, with four or more expandable bellows pockets. Safari jackets have been worn as mainstream casual clothing since the 1950s, when the look was popularized by Ernest Hemingway . Bush jackets are particularly popular with photographers, as their many pockets allow a convenient way to carry film, lenses, flashes, and other small photographic equipment. The Guayabera bush shirt is similar to the safari jacket, but without a belt or waist closure, and it is often produced without shoulder epaulets. It is believed that the safari jacket is based on certain British khaki drill military apparel worn in warm climates. The leisure suit , a short lived fashion fad, seems to have been influenced by the safari jacket. The Marvel Comics superhero Wonder Man wore a red safari jacket with black pants as his costume for a period of time. Roger Moore s James Bond character James Bond wore beige safari jackets or bush shirts with matching pants in The Man with the Golden Gun film The Man with the Golden Gun , Moonraker film Moonraker , and Octopussy . Also, the safari jacket was a favorite of J. R. Ewing in the 1980s evening soap opera series Dallas TV series Dallas , where he usually paired it with a kerchief .
