’Faced

I have a nose for this sort of thing, it appears.

The body may be confined, yet the mind wanders, as it will.

And a few minutes ago it wandered past a pile of old cycling caps and went, “Hmmmm. …”

Yes, that is a 100 percent cotton Schwinn cycling cap buttressed by a Princeton Tec headlamp strap.

I may not be the first to think of this, but surely I won’t be the last.

If you walk into a store looking like that, I pray to god no one shoots you.

  I should be OK. I’m white. Everybody knows white people are too lazy to steal.
  
  Unless they’re wearing suits with American-flag lapel pins and carrying briefcases, in which case all bets are off.

    Well, at least that flag lapel pin won’t get you into Heaven any more.

  I wanna see a Euskaltel-Euskadi cap. Or how about a Jelly Belly? How about Cinelli? I gave my LAB all my old cycling caps.

  Alas, the only other cotton caps in stock at present are a really old Red Zinger and a new-ish Rivendell. All my others are polyester.

It wouldn’t be the worst face mask I’ve seen at Trader Joe’s lately. Dare ya!

  The sis-in-law is making masks for us. She has a sense of humor. I can’t wait to see mine. It may not pass muster at Trader Joe’s.

I love the new masthead. It’s classic Mad Dog, and we need a little stuff from the good old days during these days.

I’m thinking of something like the Devo sleeveless turtlenecks and blank plastic flower pot hats. Sew a filter into your turtle neck, and then just roll it up when you’re in public. And the hat now has a pull-down sneeze guard.
