There is a lot to be said for those "sun shirts" and floppy hats. I
discovered the sun shirt and have been wearing them this summer. A
lot
cooler too than plain old T shirts.


If there's any wind those hats are next to useless.

If you owned a real Tilley Hat rather than an imitation, you'd think
differently. Not that I'm accusing you of thinking at all...

Yes, that's just what you want to do. Cover you head with a canvas hat
that makes you sweat like a dog and does not allow the heat your head
produces to escape.

Did you know that your head (uncovered) escapes about 45% of the heat
your body produces? Cover it up and the rest of your body has to assume
the cooling chores. Dumb dumb dumb. Why do you think people have hair.
It provides the shade and it provides extra surface area to wick away
heat and sweat. Long and shaggy, shoulder-length your hair is best. Also
facial hair is a must. It does the same thing. It cools your face,
protects it from the sun and identifies you as a man. Shaving makes you
look like a girly-man. The Taliban are a bad group of men but they do
have a couple of things right. One is men are supposed to look like men
with beard and shaggy hair. Another is women should assume their
rightful position. That is being a helper or servant to men and doing
what men tell them to do. But, that's another subject I'll refrain from
commenting on further at this time.
