On Location - Hat Observation!
Just sitting here, waiting for the auction to start. I've made some observations so far. Ranchers and farmers appear to fall in three hat camps.1. Cowboy hat bunch. They typically care more about how they look than the others and usually have a nice Dodge truck to match. These guys are willing to spend more than hundred bucks on a hat. There are two colors available, white and black. And you won't find shit on their hats... I'll tell ya what.
2. Baseball hat bunch. This group varies, but one thing is for sure... Their hats are free. And they would not pay for one. Ever. Why? Because they have been free since the 1970's. This group outnumbers the cowboy hat group at least 6:1. Typically, their jackets are also free. Don't get the wrong idea about these guys, they can be rich, drive nice trucks and smart, but they ain't cowboys.
3. Everybody else. Old man flap-caps with pompom, winter hats, and hatless. What can I say. The pompom winter hat group really are on the slower side of things, unless you are a mennonite, then you are spending like a hutterite at a bull sale. Everyone else in this group is simpy an "old" farmer on their way out to pasture.
Very interesting... Auction begins in 10 minutes.
