What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

I invented them. [emoji2]

When I bought my first Optimos, I was nervous they might get stolen the first time we left on vacation (they cost 1000 each), so I bought my first safe (first pic). All my Optimos fit comfortably, but I had to stack them. When I came back, they were a little wrinkled and I bought more Optimos, so I special ordered a bigger safe with shelves and put it in my bedroom.

Then I acquired my Moonhaul, so I had a wooden closet built, that can store 33 hats. Wood is expensive in Mexico, and easy to break into, so when I ran out of room there I ordered a bigger safe for only about 15 % more money than what a wooden closet of the same size would have cost, and had it put it in my home office.

When that got too crowded, I had a bigger one built, and now another. This last one will have to be assembled inside the room, and should be ready in about a month.

After that I will have to start putting safes in the garage, so I do believe I will stop. I think. [emoji2]

Take it easy during your convalescence & don't push it getting back.

Beautiful young granddaughter who will grow up fast! I hope she lives nearby so you see her often.

I so admire that great hat, crease, perfect brim shape and the wearer. Thanks for sharing Alan!

Thanks for that nice comment, Roger... and sorry to miss much of the recent action on the Lounge. I am working from Brooklyn this week, with precious little free time to explore new posts. The street scene here in Greenpoint is amazing, a mix of hipster kids and pizza places that provide exactly the same taste I remember when I was their age, with just a touch more stomach distress afterwards. I'm loving it. The moonrises have offered a lot of interesting photo ops too. Will catch up soon.
