DAY69A- a hat........but what hat?
I do agree, that a hat is just a hat……………but only when it is somebody else’s hat and not your hat. When it is too be your hat, it becomes very important that the hat reflect the character of the wearer and that it emphasizes the physical attributes of its wearer. The hat should have character, just like Jeremiah has character but honestly, sometimes shopping with Jeremiah is a real pain. Here is one coffee drinkin’ cowboy with no sense of style………….none.
Jeremiah and I headed into the local Walmart to find the hat for him too wear that would impart warmth for him at night………..finally I though, that just maybe I could have a little influence on Jeremiah at such an important junction in this trip. Style should have been my middle name, flamboyant could be my last………..now, too see if I can sway Jeremiah’s most utilitarian sense of fashion.


There is no doubt in muy mind that this was the best choice for Jeremiah, the fuzzy cap would have been both warm and stylish. And it done wonders for JW's skin tone........not too mention that faux furs are red hot this year..........you don't want to know what ol'utility fashion had to say about it!

This Black Beret would have gone miles in repairing our damaged international politcal integrity, the French may have actually have softened thier stance on this years Tour Winner, but no international integrity just doesn't play inot JW's choices....he has no sense of world good will...........none

Now, even I do not think that the Pink flop was right for Jeremiah, a little too warm and a little too MO-Town for a cowboy cyclist

Flops are in this year when it comes to the woven look, and the colors needed by a fellow with high cheek bones are the softer floral pastels. The cut of the hat is perrfect for JW, as he has sort of an egg head, this would have thickened his head a shape just a little..............the wording that killed the sale was "hey fat-head, try this one".

NOw this outfit was the killer approach for me to have a such a great ensemble in the cycling kit bag would make you the envie of the peloton I told JW, and the colors well there perfect they go with all the colors of the cycling clothing scene I assured him. Yes just great said Jeremiah, I will look just dandy doing a summersalt right into the ditch after that great long scarf gets all tangled up in my front wheel, won't I look smart then eh MR. STYLE MAVEN!!!!!!

Now after I had listened to his thoughts on the scarf outfit I had to agree, but at about the same time as his monolog on sensibull clothing I noticed the brown fur hat made of sableike fur.........YES I KNOW.........OKAY just button it for a minuet would ya buddy. Sableike's for your information, are critters that can only be found in old growth forests of artificial christmas trees..........if we don't trap in these forests how do you expect us too manintain viably sustainable artificial christmas tree groves........................HUH? Besides, if more Americans would expose themselves in fur, we may win Vladameer Putin over too our cause. But no, Jeremiah thinks it will get to stinkin whenit gets sweaty, and he thinks the fur will tickle his ears to much.

Okay Mr.Utility Fashion...........what is possibly wrong with this one I ask...........it's tight which is something you LYCRA KINGS like is it not. And it is just long enough to cover with out
flapping/popping/whistling/snapping/flopping/wrapping/twirling/ or any other ING words that you can think of for a negative.................what do you mean it looks to sissy for a fella like you, I protest.
After all of that intense effort, my advice was shunned for nothing more than a black Scotch Cap that came below the ears. Well that’s it, no more traveling with JW on these sorts of adventures when in the heat of decision making he opts to follow his own advice rather than mine any ways……………so clearly as far as JW is concerned fashion has no place where long distance cycling is concerned. Well if that’s how he feels, fine, I will remain at home………and we see who he calls on when there is a Tornado or another demonic Tangle’foot to deal with………then he will wish that he had taken time to pay heed to my counsel.
Good nIght Jeremiah, and may God Bless you!!
