Enjoying the cool (bordering on cold) evening outdoors in my Habig, with a little Scotch.

Excellent hat and Scotch pic. You look much more relaxed in your evening pic. Cheers.

I too went for essential grocery shopping. Grocery shopping I recall was really enjoyable and the selections at our neighborhood markets were exciting to pick from. That is not always the case and certainly not this early morning. Shelves had many empty spaces. I wore a Gannon Playboy (blue-mist beaver felt inspired by the Stetson Playboy's of the 40's) on my "adventure." Home and picking some more delicious raspberries.

That’s a damn shame Bob. Is that your property? Man, I’d be steamin’!!

Yep. I figure it was either the logging crew we hired (or the one the neighbor adjoining us did) after the big blow-down this Spring. Guess I'd better take the rest of it now. Man ... that tree had a lot of growing yet to do. :(

That’s ridiculous. The way they left the scraps behind, I’d guess it wasn’t the loggers. I have loggers come on my property and we mark everything together. They know damn well not to take anything that isn’t marked, and they Are extremely neat with cleanup. I’m sorry that happened to you Bob. That was a VERY big burl on a pretty small tree (maybe even a Milton Burl). Imagine what it would’ve looked like in 20-30 years. I’d be scanning with crosshairs

I want to thank everyone who appreciated the French "Morreton" hat so particular in the felt and colors. Then a mention to all those who wrote to me for my daughter Ginevra's degree in Japanese. To keep you informed, she will continue to attend Ca Foscari in Venice, residing, despite the uncertain health situation, with a master's degree in "International Relations". Davide, on the other hand, will be home for this year as his master's lessons in "Economic Philosophy" will be online. The University of Milan has few courses that require attendance :(

Congratulations to your daughter. Very cool hat today.
Thanks Joe, French hats producers made some "weird" creation during their heyday

Congratulations to your daughter and the family on her accomplishment. Wonderful to see San Marco with dry stones in the foreground. I hope Venice has weathered the flooding, now a forgotten disaster in a year of disasters. And last but not least, a remarkable hat of many colors. Outstanding!
Thank Alan. Venezia has resurfaced once again after the disaster of a year ago. The town is fragile as well as its ecosystem and, paradoxically, the few tourist visits have made it breathe. French hats are, sometimes, out of the flock

Congratulations to your daughter, Daniele. The Morreton Liclon is a fascinating hat. The thick multicolored felt and ornate ribbon are quite stylish.
Thanks Reggie. French hatters had some style some years ago

Congratulations to your daughter! No small accomplishment.

That felt is amazing. The colors and style are just fantastic.
Thanks Brent. The felt is a little bit odd but, as Reggie said, stylish.

Many congrats to Ginevra and the rest of the family with this achievement, Daniele! The laurels are well deserved. And you sticking with the heather felts; I can only approve.
Thanks Stefan. It is time now to give air to some of the heather felts, finally

A congratulatory message for Ginerva:
卒業、おめでとうございます!お父さんのフェドララウンジの投稿を見たら、本当にGinervaのことが大好きで誇りに思っているのが伝わってきます…目に入れても痛くないぐらい!
色々と大変な時期ですがこれから日本語を生かせて仕事ができたらいいですね。また近いうちに日本に来ることができたらいいですね。大都市だけではなく、僕が妻と一緒に暮らしている和歌山県のような田舎もおすすめです。
これからも頑張ってください。
Thanks. I will send the message to Ginevra, my Japanese is a little poor :)
