    Bringing back the boater+Introduction

    Hi Bertie All the best in getting the traditions back on track, but have you ever worn a boater? The reason I asked is that 5-10 years ago, when I started buying hats, I thought boaters were great looking. I tried one on at Levine's in Saint Louis. Boaters are stiff, rock hard hats with no...

    Hat look worn?

    You know, have a 2-3 year old Buckaroo hatter Silver Mist (not Silverbelly) hat that I've TRIED to distress, but I've only sweat through it a few times and it didn't do much. I also wore it walking around Shiloh the weekend I picked it up, it was raining. I need to wear it a lot more. Later...

    What's For Breakfast...

    Hi I had breakfast at Juan del Fuego's in Norman, today's special was smoked brisket red chile stew over two eggs and two tamales with a side of fried potatoes, peppers, and onions. The whole eggs with picante, green chile or red chili sauce was weird at first, but now I get nervous if I go a...

    Could you work at Starbucks?

    Hi, I do char bucks once or twice a month. I also have a hut called Cool Beans on the way to work that gets more business. The place I feel uncomfortable in is called The Gray Owl. It's TERRIBLY hipster. I went in with a co-worker, 24 year old college grad in skinny jeans and he was SOOOOOOO...

    In hot sunny days oilskin vs straw (that includes palm leaf)

    Hi I've only gotten rid of two hats, my first palm leaf that I let dry out. I crushed the heck out of it TWICE when it was dry. The other was one of those oil-skin hats. Don't buy one, if it's THAT rainy you should get a decent Beaver hat. If you DO buy one, don't buy extra oil and put on...

    Headed to CHICAGO for a couple days . . .

    Hi I haven't tried, but its my understanding that Mayor Daley the first had all of Capone's places torn down to avoid the bad publicity. It might be worth a search online though. I found this Saint Valentine's Massacre Address: 2122 N. Clark St., Chicago, IL Directions: North side of the...

    Hunting Hitler on the History Channel

    Hi I kind of hit on your comment about someone thinking Himmler was a great Dad. I read Crista Schroeder's book: "HE WAS MY CHIEF: The Memoirs of Adolf Hitler's Secretary". She thought he as a great guy, he usually had lunch with the secretaries, not the big wigs when traveling. If memory...

    Your Most Disturbing Realizations

    Hi Well Lizzie, that will be VERY difficult to forget. I'm just a bit shocked that it was written before the 1980's. He'd be DISTURBED to see us now. I don't like Xmas shopping anymore, the kids are 25 and 28 with no grandkids. I just flip them $. Later
