TWO HATS ARE BETTER THAN ONE ... AT 7TH AND MONTANA!


It was Hats Off to the Guru yesterday for finding a friend who shares his taste in makeshift turbans.  There I was, trying not to make eye contact, when much to my surprise a newcomer made the scene wearing a bright orange turban and a white pith helmet.  He wasted no time befriending the Guru.  “Howdy, friend,” he said, “Mind watching my gear while I freshen up?”  “No problem, amigo,” said the Guru, “The facilities are just inside and to your left.”  And with that, the newcomer disappeared into the Starbucks bathroom to "unwind."  I don't know what he unwound exactly, but it wasn't his turban.  When he emerged, he gave the Guru a small salute, donned the pith helmet, and zipped down 7th Street, leaving me to wonder why someone would wear both a turban and a pith helmet.  Mad Hatter, I presume ...?
