When I'm just around the house I don't wear a watch or any jewelry.
When I leave the house I usually wear a watch, my wedding ring, and a silver ID bracelet that Miz t. gave me many years ago.
It has my Air Force wings on it and the date of my graduation from USAF pilot training.
Oct. 23, 1964 if you're curious.
