The Hat Pack

I'm pictured in the attached user icon wearing my "Aussie hat" — the hat I bought while in Australia on account of without a broad-brimmed hat of some sort (I'd forgotten the ones I already had) I would get sunburned on top of my head. (I got badly sunburned on my legs, but that's a different story.) I've become quite fond of that hat, even though I've managed to distress it considerably in only two years. (The wire in the brim that holds its shape has a break in it, so the hat brim is kinked and I can't figure out how to repair it.) I took it with me on my Europe trip last month, for instance. So imagine how unhappy I was when I lost it yesterday.

Buses, Trains, and Automobiles )

Despite a few missteps along the way and a temporarily-misplaced valued piece of headgear, Saturday turned out pretty well. Missions were accomplished, trains were ridden, and everything worked out for the best. Still, I was pretty tired, and was very happy to get that extra hour of sleep last night. I think my body clock had finally found its way back to California. The only issue now is that it may continue headed west toward Hawaii.
