    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    I know the new policy is to allow - even to encourage - linking active Ebay auctions to this site.

    Like Hell It's Your Hat!

    HarpPlayer's Birthday trip to St. Augustine

    Mr. Paladin in Cornwall, U.K.

    Well, I guess we can excuse your absence lately since this is what you've been up to. I've been all over Ireland and to London, Bath and Salisbury, but never to Cornwall. Thanks for sharing your shots and welcome back! :)
