What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Hat and Rehat]

It cuts through you like a knife too, because of the high humidity.
I have a feeling though that the early champions of Chicago's promising bounty failed to mention the weather.
I learned that little tidbit on a US History program on PBS manyears ago. It was instruction that some viewers tested on, for credit. I just watched it because the instructor was great, and provided all kinds of peripheral knowledge. Another insight he shared that stuck with me had to do with hat pins.
When railroads were young, and were burning fuel in actual fireboxes, traveling through tunnels was not a pleasant experience. The entire train would fill with thick smoke, and the passengers would hold kercheifs to their mouth as they coughed and gasped for air. It was nearly pitch dark between the tunnel and the smoke, and on occaison a lonely male passenger, it seems, saw this as an excellent opportunity to, well, explore the anatomy of another passenger, one of the fairer sex. Later it became known as, "copping a feel".
It seems a hat pin was an extremely effecive deterent when used with vigor.

Can anyone tell me how to shrink a jpeg file for the Lounge server?

If you attach it via Tapatalk, there shouldn't be any need to shrink the file. Tapatalk should take care of the file size for you.

I downloaded the ap ---- mostly because their ad bkocked half of my available screen when the keyboard was in play. I must not be navigating in it properly.
Thank you.

I'd be afraid to show my hat today, if I was smarter than the camera and could upload pictures. I think they're called lifeguard hats. It's a teardrop crown, square weave, rush straw fedora. Two gromett ventilation ports, one above the other, are on each side. The brim is 3", bound in tan vinyl, textured to look like fabric ribbon. The front of the brim is green, translucent plastic.

Such great spring colors, Danielle!

Thank Doug, it is a not so common colors combinations, but right for the spring time

I like the combination of colors too, Daniele. Very pretty. And it is my size, too. Aren't you a size 60?

Thanks Max, very spring colors indeed. This is a Borsalino that fir my head between 59 to 60 size. Two Borsalino of this lot (59 cm.) don't fit properly my head and they will be on the market. To know which see the post........

Yes, quite the stunning color combination.

Thanks Scotty, Borsalino made very stunning color combinations even in modern time

Thanks to all for the likes on the "spring" Borsalino

Fortunately I'm a couple of counties south of the winter storm warning. Still wind, rain and cold. Trying out my Hi-7 for the rain protection part.

Sheesh, Michael, a winter storm warning in May? Why live all the way up there? What's the need? Move south.

Lending moral support to friends at their court hearing for a restraining order against the wacky neighbor.

Oh, and I start at the Oregon Dept of Justice on 5/6!

Royal Stetson and a Flusser jacket accompanied me on the trip.

Great look, Doug. And congratulations on the new job.

Yeah, the winter storm warning is kind of a disappointment. I was hoping for tornado warnings. ha ha.

Went out for a half hour bike ride. Rainy, and I thought a bit too much windage on the Hi-7. So I went with the Backhouse waxed cotton.

I stayed scrupulously dry, but the wind put in a strong vote against a longer ride.

Another beauty, Bowen. Envy is a terrible thing, so I'll just say, I hope to own one one day [emoji4]
