Good thing I liquidated half my closet after Hurricane Harvey even though I didn’t want the tax deduction. Showing off the back of my SUV filled with bags of old shirts, t-shirts, pants and stuff won me a lot of “good citizen” points with the neighbors. The recipients were people who had been flooded out of their homes so they had no clothes but the ones on their backs.

I liquidated most of the rest and moved to Panama. Here, as in most of Latin America, the people wear t-shirts, blouses and caps with words in English even though they don’t speak English. It’s just the fashion here to wear something that says “Miami” or “New York” or “California” or “Vegas” like we might wear something that says “Paris” even though we’ve never been there. It’s pretty amusing.

We had an teenage exchange student from COlombia. The shirt she was wearing on her flight here read "Brookline, New York". I figured those were exported because of the typo. Have you ever witnessed the wrong outcome Super Bowl shirts that used to shipped overseas before they started being resold as novelties on ebay?
