    Not trying to hijack this thread but wanted to tell this story for the Tilley hat wearers on this board.

    Three years ago while sailing in the North Channel we were in Gore Bay. I was walking along the wharf wearing my Tilley and a bearded gentleman also wearing a Tilley passed in the opposite direction. As he passed he commented "nice hat". I responded " Yes, I love my Tilley". His response - " I'm Alex Tilley, I make them". We had a pleasant conversation and he endded up autographing the inside of both mine and Jude's hats.

    In a democracy it's your vote that counts; in feudalism, it's your Count that votes.

    That's a really cool story! Since Warhoover is a fellow Tilley wearer I'm sure he won't mind a little hijacking. Here's a pic of me in mine.

    Mod Toss? Is that like dwarf tossing? I'd say only one of them is small enough to throw *cough*.
