Hey thanks, Hulka! A new hat store to spend some more money!

Here's my dad's logic. In the 1950s and this was one of Ike's grand accomplishments he built a vast highway system across America. Interstates went up everywhere. Cities extended roads, turnpikes, highways, and suburbs appeared around every major city. People, instead of taking a bus, a tram, a train to work, could hop into their new Chevy or Ford and drive.My guess was cars before I read that. It's not just headroom though. If you have your own car you don't need a hat for protection from the elements as much either.

Total BS!
Vitamin D, generated by sunlight is the biggest defense from skin cancer. Sun lotions are all carcinogenic, as is anything that reduces production of Vitamin D.
Sun good - Shade bad.

So if some is good, more must be even better, right?

Actually, I think the author is right.
I like wearing fedora hats, felt in the winter, panama hats in the summer. However when I get into my car—I invariably take it off, as, the hat hits the roof and gets uncomfortable.
So going out in public consists of taking the hat off in the car, putting it back on when I get out...and, then taking if off indoors. Just too much trouble. Unless I’m going to be outside all day, I tend to leave it home about half the time...

No, it was indeed North Berkeley, but they were on their way to Golden Gate Fields in Albany (about to board a shuttle).
Saw a few of them again today too. They had on their “dollar day” admission bracelets.

No one but some liberal from the east would ever wear a hat!

People who go without hats have never worked out in a bean field or cattle farm all day long. Where I have lived, going without a hat will get you your brain baked. Word.
I'm in the rain gutter business, which means I spend my days outside in the sun on ladders and rooftops. At the very least, during the warm months, I wear a bandana covering my head, but when the Texas sun really bears down, I've got one of my straw cowboy hats on.
I couldn't work in the sun without one.

No, but sun does not cause skin cancer, and it actually prevents the worst kind: melanoma.

Anyone around here who wears a cowboy hat is immediately suspected of being an a-hole.
