Why American Workers Now Dress So Casually

Some children tried to steal my hat yesterday
Years ago I had something similar happen. A couple of kids announced a desire to have my hat, then smiled and walked on looking over their shoulders at me as they left. Perhaps the Ben Hogan #1 driver I always used as a "walking stick" had something to do with it -
