Been to Covelo several times. Not much there. Out in the middle of no where. Pretty little valley though. Had a friend that lived up above Covelo and we used to go hunt up there with him.

I don't care how it is signed or who signs it as long as it clears the bank.

Growing up in New Jersey in the 1950's I had to wear a hat whenever we commuted by train to NYC. It was expected even if you were a six year old. That is just the way things went on the East coast. By the time I spent a summer in 1966 working in Arizona, everyone wore hats. The summer temperatures hit 120 degrees and long before global warming.

Have pondered such 'traditions' or expectations many times over the years. Many turn out just to have been clever marketing; not unlike proliferation of 'designer' COVID masks. The crowd that accepts masks so readily is the ready-made customer base.
Now, when it comes to head covers in the blazing sun of the Southwest....

my brain is telling me this is a drawing/painting. not a photo. as for the hats....it's not the hat that makes the man,it's the man that makes the hat work...or not. as for me Ive never been able to wear hats. I sometimes see friends that always wear hats and seeing them without a hat...hmm you look familiar, do I know you? one of our 6 kids is a hat wearer....cowboy hats.and he makes them work well.
