It is amazing that people still say the "r" word, let alone put it in print on a message board.

What is that quote...."better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt". I think that applies pretty well here.

What amazes me is that people are so bloody hyper sensitive of everything these days and are so caught up in virtue signalling how WOKE they are that they are incapable of seeing the humor I was poking at myself.

Now go away and do not bother me anymore with your faux outrage and go whine to our local barista at the coffee shop to get your outrage on.?ÿ

It's is likely that that you may have underestimated the intelligence of readers here. I think that your self deprecating humor comment was noticed by ALL. But by using a derogatory term for a person with a disability doesn't make it okay or funny. (Unless your posting to middle school age level or some demented codgers who behave like middle schoolers that couldn't care less).
I know and do sympathize that one can not foretell when and where will it?ÿ all end and what is next on the list. But that's life and it's why there are signposts along the way.

I realized you were poking fun at yourself, but in no way found humor in the post. Would you have made the same "joke" in front of a person with a form of intellectual disability? Doubtful.?ÿ

We may be demented and behave like middle schoolers but we sure as hell know how to laugh and enjoy life. In your eyes we are a bunch of idiots, I know from first person experience, but as hard as it may be to digest we possess am overflowing cornucopia of wisdom far superior to yours. ???? ??§ ?ÿ

ie:?ÿ Your own post is contradictory. ???? ?ÿ

Any grown man that still throws around words like that isn't worth the effort, but it sure seals the deal when he turns into a whiny baby when he gets called out for it.?ÿ

Well I finally got me a Tilley hat in Olive Green, one of the Airflow styles. I gotta tell ya, the Tilley looks better but it does not handle sweat well at all. After a short time the sweat is actually running off the hat in a steady stream. It is a good looking hat but would not be my choice for hot & humid environs and physical field activity. I actually threw it on the ground today as it was a steady stream of sweat streaming off it.?ÿ?ÿ

I have 2 Columbia Bora Bora boonie hats and they breath better and deal with sweat a lot better.

@monte

I've got a straw Resistol and bought it in Marble Falls, Texas but I've no clue how you folks that wear them all the time deal with the rivers of sweat. I know you live and work in Texas and depending on where it can be oppressively hot and even more humid so do you wrap a towel around your head?

So do tell, please.

I've got a theory about certain types of hats and that is some are just for looking at while others are for work.?ÿ
