I came home from work today.
Next to the door, right inside the building's hallway, well stairwell really, are the tenant's letterboxes. On top of which the postmen will deposit items that don't fit, or that have the right address but a name that is not on any of the letterboxes.
There was something there, so I took a look.
It seems I have a new neighbor. Their name?

I just went to grab dinner from the greek diner next door.
I got a fraction of a second of a fright.

Only she said it with her hands resting on about 9 months worth of child-in-the-making.

Griping.

My wife took her car to the dealer for an inspection. Dealer commented about the "sap" on the car, which is normally parked under an oak tree. When asked if we have a garage to park the car in, my wife tells the guy "Yes, but my husband keeps his motorcycles in there".

Reply: "Well, you can just move them outside and throw a cover over them".

Excuse me fuck you do what? My garage. My sanctuary. My workshop. Got my tools in there, my Mr. Rogers motorcycle gear closet, an area to ride the bike in and work on it, or keep it cozy. It's not a car parking area. Fucking 'put a cover over them'. Asshole.

And this is their business how, precisely? Is sap on the car a safety hazard? No? Then they can kindly fuck the hell off. :)

Mother Russia can put that ugly valance over the kitchen sink. She can arrange the furniture in the living room whichever way she wants. Flowers on the porch? Family pictures on the walls? A slate painted with snowmen near the front door still hanging after winter? Throw pillows? I really don't care... just leave my Ukraine garage alone.

But Nooo, she's got three pro Russian loyalists parking their bicycles and scooters in there! Her little puppets are trying to boot me out! And now there's this bastard car dealer (nicknamed Stormin' Norman... I'm not kidding) spouting his rhetoric!

It's a two-car garage, and I'm worried that one bay will go Crimean on me.

For long, long before my accident even, I had considered joining that elusive and exclusive segment of the population made up by people who wear hats. I think I've mentioned that elsewhere before.
I must admit, my general aversion to go shopping for clothes, unless the one's I've got are literally falling apart or don't fit anymore at all, it kept me from following through.
In recent weeks, with the sun shining as it does when the sky gets that bewildering and intimidating, quite unnatural color (it's sorta blue-ish), I had considered it once more. Something for the summer, in straw perhaps. I had no idea where I would go to buy one, and with my last online hat-purchase having not nearly worked out, I was wary of using the internets.
Today, I was just grocery shopping and BAM, in the big-box store, already on my way to the checkout, hats. Made from straw.
Floppy straw hats like Hollywood supposes women wear when gardening. Actual boaters even! A boater was just the style I was looking for. Unfortunately, these boaters were made for tiny, puny people with tiny, puny craniums.
The odds that they'd have any sort of hat that wouldn't look entirely ridiculous on me, but would fit onto my intimidating cranium to begin with, they were ... wait, what's that?
It's pretty big, but it's not floppy ... almost like some kind of stetson, but the proportions are a bit off ... it's a panama! My second choice!
It was the very last one they had. And it FIT!
So, as of today, I'm a wearer of a hat!

I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out, too, especially the pickup switching.
Put the pickup selector toggle in the middle position and there are two very usable tones available: Single coils in phase sounds a lot like Clapton, humbuckers out of phase nails BB King's tone.

Thanks! It was A LOT of work!

Also, nice hat. Panama? I'd say closer to what an American farmer might wear, looks quite functional.
When you're in J'Oklahoma, I'll take you by Tener's and Shepler's, where they have actual Stetsons in your size.
Just the smell in those places is worth a visit!
