BTW, I am in Chicago this week visiting my daughter. I left my Stetson back in Texas as it's not easy to take on a plane. I should have persisted. This cold rain is nasty on one's head. I have a hooded rain jacket, but it blocks peripheral vision and reduces hearing, which makes me nervous about my six.

There is nothing like a good brimmed hat in the rain.
