Was Able To Visit Both Stetson Outlets In One Trip
My daughter starts at university in late June so we had two weeks to grab a family road trip. We headed out to Mesa Verde National Park and I noticed that I could bend our route to Dallas to grab some brisket at Lockharts and check out the Resistol/Stetson store. They had a great sale, two or... -

Population By Hat Size?
As a person who wears a size 7 7/8 hat I have come to understand that I am in the minority. I have always wondered if there was ever some research on the distribution of hat sizes across the population of adult males.

WTS: Old Smoking Pipes As A Group
I have had my jollies with these pipes. Most of these came to me in group buys as I attempted to get other pipes that interested me in those groups. Most have not been smoked by me or cleaned up.

Washington Post Today
I can't figure out a way to post a link to today's Washington Post but there is a great Fedora photo right on page one. Can someone post a link to the front page of 21 October 2005 Washington Post? I think the filters on my workplace computer are preventing me from doing so. -
