    How many hats is enough?

    I will contribute my count of 23 hats, all but one from Optimo (including 3 Monticristi Panamas and 2 Milans). The 1 non Optimo is a Resistol cowboy hat I purchased on a whim in Virginia City, Nevada. For what it is worth I have 52 pair of shoes with 3 additional pairs on order.

    I just took a quick glance at the Optimo web site and it appears to me that the 2020 colors are starting to come out and that there has been a significant increase in cost. Does anyone have additional information on this?

    On Retirement And Hats

    One of the features of the California pension system is that, generally speaking, the pension service credit when you change public employers remains with the employee. I changed employers several times to advance my career and the service credit stayed with me. By the time I retired I had...

    On Retirement And Hats

    I was in the unusual position six and a half years ago where my pension was greater than my salary. It no longer made any sense to keep working.

    On Retirement And Hats

    For what it is worth (and it may be worth very little) I retired six and a half years ago and my only regret is that I did not retire earlier.

    Moustaches-Yes or No

    I had a mustache in high school and have had a full beard since 1978. Personally I like Clark Gables's mustache but I also like William Powell's mustache. It is something you need to grow into and experiment. I do not care for Sam Elliott's soup strainer
