A say-something-hat day

Does anybody still wear a hat? Yes, apparently.

I'm trying to start the new year with a faster iPhone, so I'm clearing off and archiving some photos. I took this picture of some guys in funny hats at the Arch early this summer.

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.
