Not a fedora but definitely afield. From our trip to Europe last week.
Berchtesgaden Germany.

I had to go down to Montgomery this morning. While I was there, since he'll be 100 tomorrow, I stopped by to visit Hank Williams.

That's awesome! And yes, I did swing by there while I was in town. Would've been remiss not to, given the occasion.Hey Cousin, did you happen to go to the museum?
Here is a shot where Mike presented the museum with a hat made for the ''I Saw The Light'' fim.
These shots particularly really take me back! I love Syracuse! Glad to see the street markets are still in bloom (Catania is GREAT for street markets, btw, if you ever go back). In Sardinia, street markets have been impacted by the internet.Part II
Scala dei Turchi near Agrigrento (that camera stuff really starts to weigh you down after a week or so)

Syracuse market. Should have bought this old lobby poster, but it was too large to take with me.

Certainly a vibrant city but a lot of work that still needs to be done to get it back to glory. While organized crime is still there, our guide told us they concentrated more on where the real money is: politics. While we walked from the centre to the catacombs we didn't encounter anything dodgy. Had a charm all of its own.These shots particularly really take me back! I love Syracuse!

The Valley of the Temples is such a fantastic site, as well. I would love to get back there one day. I really loved Palermo but the mafia fire bombed a car outside my hotel while I was there and very much ruined the atmosphere. The car owner ran outside very distraught and the burned out car sat on the street for days afterward (I actually left the area before the car did). She was just some random local woman, maybe in her thirties - she was crying.
I asked the hotel owner and he said the mafia randomly firebomb cars to let the population know they are still in control. I have no idea if that's true but that car burning outside the hotel was certainly no fantasy!
The sleepy side streets of Palermo with old men playing chess and old women still wearing head-kerchiefs are truly charming, however. Maybe that's all gone, too, by now, but that was the Italy of my youth and I still long for it sometimes.
Cheers!
Careful out there.….. those guys can be trickyA business client had a delivery for Bolinas, which is a little enclave on the coast in Marin, which is infamously off an unmarked road from Hwy 1. The town's residents tear down any signs pointing the way (hat tip to Google maps). I don't usually go that far out, but I'd never been and I like driving on Hwy 1. This is the Cabrillo highway, the stretch after the more famous Pacific Coast highway. I saw about 3 or 4 coyotes on the way. I can't swear to it, but I think I also saw a whale breach in the distance. Squeezing a few more VS Dualist days in for the year.
Very much a Blacklist vibe to this series
Looking good—I’ve got that same hat!High mileage Knox Twenty that could withstand a Disneyland beating and keep on ticking.
