Perhaps a bit to serious hat

A bit of a show off hat

A friendly hat

I welcome me back to South Through Bare Foot Pass and appreciate anyone who may be glad that I am here. I was told I had failed to update certian aspects of my computer and it would not respond to me. It is very cold here in the Ozarks this morning and will be even colder tonight. But overall we are haveing a rather mild winter, at least up to the present. Snow is coming tomorrow, so we may face some nasty weather. A lot has happened to me since last I posted, nothing too negative however. I have fallen from grace with a board of directors, of whom I did not approve of their underhanded tactics.


Black and white hats and all other colors in-between



The following is an unofficial study of hats or perhaps an observation. I love western hats, especially Stetsons, Beavers and Baileys. Each style that I have represents eras long since past, from the early days of this country to the present. The present styles are not to my liking. I have, some might say too many hats, but the amount in my opinion is not relevant. One of my observations is when I wear a black hat; people don’t seem to be as friendly as they are when I am wearing a white hat. Other shades of color, such as grays and browns make little difference. Many men wear black hats and I wonder why. Perhaps it is a macho thing, but I really don’t know. In the movies, at least the older productions put white hats on the good guys and black hats on the bad guys. Of course this theory isn’t true, for I know many upstanding men and women who where black hats. For me a black hat, I have only one, they are hot in the summer months and collect, more dust, or at least shows it more clearly. I am more at ease wearing a light colored hat or a gray or brown. Most important my hat must be able to withstand the rain, time and again and look as good as it did before getting drenched. It is evident to me this study or observation may be unimportant to most people but I thought it interesting. Adios.
