Geez, I forgot again.  The only thing I am getting better at in my old age is forgetting stuff. I'll go over to KIVA this afternoon and see how much I have to lend.

Three this month including hats. Some day I am going to research the history of those Bolivian hats!

Way cool ... thanks much LawryB. I did not know what to search on. That was interesting!
" Both Quechua and Aymara women in Peru and Bolivia took up the style of wearing bowler hats since the 1920s. According to legend, a shipment of bowler hats was sent from Europe to Bolivia via Peru for use by Europeans working on railroad construction. When the hats were found to be too small, they were given to the indigenous peoples."
Who would have guessed that?

Aha, so that's where those hats came from. Amazing. Thanks Lawry.

I was intending to look it up after Dataman mentioned it but got sidetracked looking at an Onda 975i tablet and downloading Niresh Mavericks. Now got Mavericks crunching POGS nicely without ReportCrash hogging some CPU like it did on Mountain Lion. ;D
