Does anyone still wear a hat?

Feathers!

Yes, Elaine.

Another of my new obsessions: riding MetroLink. Today's ride (to Brentwood to buy my mom a birthday present) was full of adorable ladies in gigantic hats, presumably on their way home from America's Center downtown, where 40,000 members of the Church of God in Christ have gathered.

The woman sitting in front of me wore a bedazzled velvet hat, but a lady across the aisle sported feathered headgear. She won my imaginary contest.
