    A hat for every occasion?

    You own coloring needs to fit into this as well I have brown and dark gray fedoras for winter wear. I personally look much better in the dark gray one, since my own coloring is 'winter'. (See Flusser's Dressing the Man) The dark gray with my cool colors (black shoes and belt, blue shirts, etc)...

    Shaping a straw hat?

    I've done this with a couple of hats... its not as hard as you think. I use my clothing steamer to get it soft, and reshape it gently several times, to get the look I want. I've changed brims, since I like a low front dive, asymmetric, and changed a center crease to a front pinch. Get a...

    Shocker: US Infant Mortality Rate

    We could drop the rate quickly... ...by stopping pregnant women at the Mexican border. Now, I'm not saying we should, but its a fact that many women come across to have their babies here. The hospital is free as far as they are concerned, and the child is a natural born citizen, and the medical...

    Open Road for the worksite

    Not too hot today... only 83. Heat index of 97, but that's better than 95/105 like we had the other week.

    Open Road for the worksite

    those are great! I've seen the open road style hard hats around for years, but the pinch front is new.

    Need suggestions for "yard work" hat

    old pananma I've always kept three grades of hats; my dress hat, my everyday hat, and my old hats. As the best moves to 2nd grade, that pushes that down to the 3rd grade.

    Playing outside

    over scheduled kids Something I see in my daughter's class mates, that we try hard to avoid, is overscheduling. Many kids today can't simply run around being kids; they are constantly in some kind of organized activity, be it t ball, soccer, dance, art, etc. And if there are multiple kids in...

    A Christmas Miracle?

    Our young intern, know for his 'gangster rap' clothes, tattoos, bling, and sideways ball cap, told me his mom was getting him clothes for Christmas, and he'd asked for a cashmere sport coat and fedora. I was floored, to say the least. He's a smart kid, maybe he's going to turn things around...

    Sartorialist of the Year? - Great Hat/ Suit Mix!

    Interestingly, I saw a gentleman dressed in similar fashion last night at my daughter's preschool Thanksgiving party. He is from Ethiopia, and is a agriculture professor at Texas A&M. Was wearing a long duster and a very nice silver and turquoise bolo tie... He have have taken dressing like a...

    Cloth Diapers?

    we used them, loved them... and much cheaper than paper. Besides all the eco benifits. And I'm saying this and the one who does the laundry in the family. I don't have a financial interest in this company I'm just a customer. Feel free to PM me for details since it isn't really vintage...

    cooler weather finally

    that is (or was) the piney woods they had several 100+ foot pines on the property. In that first picture, one of the neighbors trees pushed the big oak onto the house, although it didn't break through the roof in the living areas of the house. A large pine flattened the car port and mom's 1981...

    cooler weather finally

    Hurricanes? Here's mom and dad's house. I'm in central Texas, likely too far inland for hurricane's other than a cat 5, but mom and dad live nearer the coast. Its not as bad it it looks; 20 trees down but the house is liveable. Not so several of the neighbors. I can post a link to more...

    cooler weather finally

    at least somewhat cooler, will 'only' get to 80 today. During the hot months, I have a gin and tonic after work a couple days a week. What kinds of cocktails do you all like for cool weather? It never gets cold here, just cool. A very rare winter day when the afternoon temp isn't at least 40

    Faces please...

    'Dress up' is all she'd do, given the choice; she'll be 4 in December. About 3 1/2 in this photo. She was a princess for Halloween, obviously.

    The Photographer

    as someone who mostly just takes pictures of his little girl and the occasional house smashed by a hurricane, I get much better pictures with the digital, if for no other reason that I now take dozens rather than a couple. Blind luck gets me goods every so often. That said, my friend Alan...
