After repeatedly losing his cap on the windy locomotive, he asked his wife Ida to make him a new one, with a snug, pulldown earband to keep it in place. The popularity of that fi rst cap launched a small family business. More than 100 years later, Stormy Kromer products are still made by a family-run business with the same quality and care.

Cherry Date Assistant Provost of Graduate Education and Research ABSTRACT This Is the Dream-Freeze By Timothy Brent Johnston This Is The Dream-Freeze is a collection of short stories that are all interconnected through theme (escape) and content (there’s an asteroid coming). I find that it’s an odd thing to obsess on (the end of times), especially when everybody’s desire is to escape from their current predicament—whatever it may be—because, essentially, the last and final escape in the collection is death by asteroid.

After repeatedly losing his cap on the windy locomotive, he asked his wife Ida to make him a new one, with a snug, pulldown earband to keep it in place. The popularity of that fi rst cap launched a small family business. More than 100 years later, Stormy Kromer products are still made by a family-run business with the same quality and care.

To this day, Harris Tweed is the only fabric in the world protected by an Act of Parliament. It must be “made with 100% pure virgin wool, dyed, spun and fi nished in the Outer Hebrides and woven by hand by the Islanders in their homes on the Islands of Lewis, Harris, Uist and Barra.” Harris Tweed production is monitored on a daily basis and all fabric is inspected and approved before being stamped with their trademark.
