Hats are the secret to happiness.

Now, I don’t mean any hat. Ball caps don’t work. You need something with a brim all around, like a fedora.

I’m a big fan of fedoras.

If it is raining outside, your head is dry. If it is cold outside, your head is warm. A wet, cold head is a bad way to spend your day. Best to avoid it. Wear a hat.

If it is sunny, the light isn’t shining in your eyes. You can angle it so you aren’t squinting. It makes for safer driving. Not squinting and not getting a lot of sunlight on your face means you aren’t getting wrinkles. How awesome is that?

Plus, wearing a cool hat is a great conversation starter. You get to meet all sorts of interesting people when you wear a hat.
