Oddservation: Cowboy hats

Yesterday I saw not one but two men wearing cowboy hats. Usual if you're in Texas, not so common in Massachusetts. What's more, both seemed to be self-made men.

The first was a 20-something white man walking a toy poodle while playing a ukulele. This was on a fairly busy residential street.

The second was a 40-something African American man wearing a blue short-sleeved button-down shirt, khaki shorts and low Italian style boots. He looked happy. He was leaving the supermarket, so maybe he just used a bunch of coupons.

I swear, I'm not making this up.

  1. I often wonder what makes the man beneath the cowboy hat. Most men I've met who wore them were hard working, southern drawling gentlemen. There's always some air of romance about a cowboy. *chrissygee from swapbot* (we don't get many cowboy hat wearing folk here in Cali either!)
