THE WALL: INTERVIEWS WITH LIVE HUMANS
This week on The Wall, Joe Vecc thinks "out of the box", and challenges the way we look at men's underwear. Read our interview with Joe Vecc, inventor of "Borodino Freedomsofts", the revolutionary new underwear for men,  designed and sewn right here in Borodino. 

SKANEATELES LAKE - FROM THE AIR
Demonstrating once again the lengths to which we will go at The Bullett to please our readers, we rented a plane to fly to Rochester, and took pictures on the return trip flying over some of the Finger Lakes. The sunny day became cloud-covered by 4 pm, but you can still see Seneca, Cayuga, Owasco, Skaneateles, and Otisco Lakes at 5500 feet in this zipped PowerPoint presentation, called "Wings Over Skaneateles." Click on the icon to download and run from your computer (if PowerPoint is installed) and enjoy. Musical selection: Theme from Top Gun 

Our pilot was Chad M. King. Click to enlarge>
