Hats

• • • — — — • • •

Someday when I’m in a zombie apocalypse, I’m going to be a huge hat-wearer.  There’s a couple of reasons for this.  The first is that just wearing a hat does a decent job of identifying you as “not a zombie”.  The quicker a person behind a gun sight can figure out you are not one of the undead, the better.  For everyone, really.  The second is that hats are practical.  Depending on the hat, they protect you from the sun, keep you warm, and you can store stuff on them, like glasses or goggles.  Helmets are even more practical as they also protect you.  The final reason is that hats are cool.  Heroes wear hats.  And if I’m going to be traipsing around killing zombies and generally wreaking havoc, I’d really like to look good doing it.  Even if no one sees, knowing you look good is a serious confidence builder.
