crime doesn't pay

especially when you're stealing hats.

seriously, these guys were stealing hats from a sports store in visalia. hats? i hope you got a whole rack of yankees caps (i figure this is the crap hat people would steal). and how many hats can five guys steal? i'm guessing at least four.

the thing is, they crashed their getaway car and were all caught. brilliant. i wonder if they stole ginormous hats and it covered their eyes?

monday afternoon briefs

some days i think i shouldn't leave my house with a wallet. i'm not a huge impulse buyer, but sometimes i'll just do it. this counters a lot of what i believe about frivolous consumption, and i realize that. but still, sometimes i just buy stuff. fortunately, most of these purchases aren't huge. the little things add up though. anyway, i used to buy lots of shoes. every couple of months i would buy a pair or two. that's mostly changed, and now i usually buy a pair or two a year.

but something else has taken it's place...hats




so, i saw this hat the other day @ retro rag as i strolled by. today, i was out getting up flyers for my upcoming art show, and just stopped in to see how much, selection, etc. and then i bought a hat. fortunately, i'm out in the sun a lot and have the need to wear something to keep the sun off my head and face (i really don't want skin cancer). sure, this little fedora variation isn't the ideal sun protection, but it will do.


in other news, our cat has decided that it likes the tower adam made. she sits on it frequently now.

another new hat?

that's right, i got another hat today. it's a summer version of the homburg, or godfather, hat. it's a straw/wicker type weave, that'll be great for track meets and pool parties.

heather says that it's a bernie mac or cedric the entertainer hat. and that's her showing it off.
