This is the biggest impediment to proper hat wearing these days: this notion that one has to “pull it off”’, as if it involved anything other than putting the hat on your head. There is no special skill required. You simply wear it.
you know what the two hardest things about hat wearing are? Headrests. Headrests and the absence of hat racks. You can’t wear a hat in a car anymore, and when you go in a restaurant you have to put your hat on your knee, because there’s no place else to put it.

They are both a challenge. There is the occasional restaurant that will bring a stand over to your table. Your lady can hang her purse and you can hang your hat. Otherwise who knows.
On another completely unrelated note…nowadays whenever Mrs Hawk and I dine out, we almost always sit next to each other at the table as opposed to across from each other. As in 12:00 and 3:00 rather than 12-6…90-degrees rather than 180. Sometimes that’s the only way we can actually converse with each other. Restaurants are just so damn loud these days.

I’m still trying to process the JM Disciples of Christ Gun Holster.

Damn, that’s supposed to be more obvious. Anyway, it’s a link to a video of the Beat Farmers’ “Gun Sale at the Church”.

It is a smart hat but you’ll get some looks around the office I reckon. I’ll get one for you the next time I’m down there if I remember to, and I probably will. I don’t have any idea how they size them. It’s like cutarras, I just stand there and try on a bunch until I find something that works.
I’m very sorry about your loss, dude. And I’ve been thinking a lot about Doyce and his family. Hang in there, guys.

We’re doin alright. I appreciate the thoughts, Chuck.
It was his time. He was 84 and has been in and out of the hospital the last few years, the last 6 months he was in almost constant pain even through pain killers. It was one of those that you’re almost relieved when it finally happens, doesn’t make things much easier but at least no more pain. That’s a happy thought. He was a great man who I respected a ton. He married my mother in law when my wife was around 3, he was around 50ish, and became the father that her bio dad never was, cared for her as if she was blood. He will be very missed.

Do they have anything for a guy on a budget? I can justify spending couple hundred on a hat but $450 to hang it in my truck or car is hard to justify. Anyway my Dobbs Fedora and my Stetson Open Road have small enough brims to not interfere with my head rest while driving.
Yesterday Robert Ford mentioned that Yordan was just the second Cuban born player to have 4 season in a row with 30 homers. The other is Palmiero. I thought Canseco might have done it, but no. He had three years in a row but never 4.
