I'll just bet those boys breaking up coal for the Pennsylvania Coal Co didn't have very long lifespans.

LOL...Bob, I was going to add maybe that's why he's still unmarried but I thought that might be just a little over the top!

It might be true. I picked up my straw-with-green-visor after 30 years of marriage. My wife might not like it, but it's not an irreconcilable difference.

 

[Hurricane Jack]

It might be true.

I'm just kidding. My FIL had a fishing boat & when he was terminally ill I was cleaning it out so I could try & get it sold along with some of his other things while he was still living. I found one of those green visor hats in his boat. It was probably the first one I had ever seen. It didn't fit me, & it probably just got thrown away, I don't remember.

A really decent picture of the down town area of San Antonio Texas...note no automobiles, a gas pipe arch across the street with lighting and of course, a very famous Mens Store on the right side, Frank Bros....which was first established in the later part of the 1800's and was in business until the mid 1960's when they sold out to someone else....

I was curious about that myself.

I always thought it was to treat what they used to call "nervous tension".
