raven1 Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 Hey Bucket! 31C sounds about right, but 38C is a bit warm. Are you sure you won't need some of Albert's snow? 1 3

That snow sounds good but Albert needs the water. Some of Gary's snow would be ok 5

He'd be too busy arranging the shipment of snow your way. 5

So yes I am resting and recovering from exams (I took a 2h nap this afternoon) also tidying my room and just puttering around the house. How are you doing? 4

I'm good. I went out do dinner with friends on Saturday. It was a beautiful restaurant on the Mae Ping river. After four of our group went to a dance club, my best friend and I went to a great jazz club. I rested Sunday, but today I went out to a wonderful coffee place with the other four friends that went dancing Saturday night. Chiang Mai has taken to coffee with a vengeance the last 15 years. There are probably over 500+ shops in Chiang Mai. Some small but most are very large with gardens, fountains and sculptures. People go there for hours to drink coffee and take selfies. All of the coffee shops are decorated with several background areas suitable settings for pictures. Today's coffee adventure was several small seating areas around a small pond surrounded by trees and bamboo. 5

Albert1434 Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 Cowboy Hats Were Not Popular The Stetson hat is better known by the name “cowboy hat.” It is so ubiquitous in Western films that people may think every cowboy wore them. In reality, cowboys rarely wore that hat. It wasn’t even designed until 1865. John B. Stetson designed the hat based on Mexican vaqueros hats. According to the National Cowboy Museum, the hat went through several designs before landing on the classic look we know today. It became popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for its durability, but few people wore it during the Wild West era. 3

It became popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for its durability, but few people wore it during the Wild West era. That's right. Most wore felt derby hats with wide brims. Working cowboys would widen the the normally curved up brims by steaming the felt and flattening the brim so it offered more protection from the sun and rain. Older derbys or bowlers would flatten out just from wear, but for photos, most cowboys tended to wear new bowler hats if they could. Cowboys cared about function more than looks when they were out on the range. Many wore fur hats in colder weather, and a lot of them wore vaquero (sombrero type hats) for the vicious sun in the south. 1 3
