AN OLD HAT CAN BE A LOT OF THINGS. As a possible pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, there is a gold and silver mine in Pinal County, AZ called Old Hat. It sits at 4,400 ft. elevation. So, the next time you feel like a good hike in sunny Arizona, perhaps you can get in on the mining action and get rich. Old hat is more commonly just a term that refers to something deemed uninteresting, predictable, tritely familiar, or old-fashioned. In a word: out of date (okay, that’s three words). Finally, old hat may refer simply to… well, an old hat. I have more than a few of those taking up space here and there around the house. My old Irish tweed fedora, called a walking or country hat, is older than my daughters, which makes it around fifty or so. The photo shows a similar one; mine is blue. I have newsboy caps, baseball caps, knitted beanies. I had a nice cowboy hat, purchased in Tombstone, AZ, just down the street from the OK Corral. I left it in Utah. I brought two winter hats back with me from Russia, one leather, one fur, both with fine, furry ear flaps. Since I was there in the middle of winter, I needed head coverage. I gave those away when I left Utah too. My favorite hat these days is a baseball cap style with one word in all caps on the front: FACTS. It signifies my preference for reality over fantasy, truth over lies, evidence over assumption, Democrats over Republicans, and anyone over Donald Trump.
