Seasonal Hat


Protect and Survive: A few posts ago, I mentioned that a somewhat turbulent online search was underway to locate a reasonably priced yet practical hat for some solar protection, in anticipation of what promises to be the hottest summer since that rather unfortunate, dinosaur era ending, meteor strike. You may already have gathered that, at times, I am not entirely of sound mind.

In any case, the search has concluded successfully, and a hat has been acquired. It is of the Pork Pie variety, evocative both of the jazzy musical piece and the culinary item. I used to like the pies but ... something has changed in me, some seasonal variation. Remarkably, it almost fits my big head, which must be counted as an unexpected success.

It's use, however, is governed by two simple rules:

  1. It is to be worn only in genuinely sunny conditions; and
  2. It must be accompanied by a beat up pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarer glasses.

These conditions are, of course, non-negotiable.
