I decided to take a break from all the tax work and get a New York strip steak at a nice restaurant. There was a group of elderly couples eating at a table near me. I happened to glance up, and I noticed that an elderly woman was wearing a baseball cap at the table.

We were raised nothing but family, family talk, and food at the table and you asked to be excused before you got up to leave and if it was before you had "enough time to eat" you better have a really good excuse for asking to leave. No phones, no hats, but believe it or not you could put elbows on the table. @PATAX I guess you will just have to visit our family table, but you will have to wait until the get some of the roads and bridges replaced from Helene.

And?

Was it red?

Did it have a 4-letter obscenity on it?

I knew you were going to respond Bob. No it looked greenish in color, but I am not sure as I did not want to stare as that is rude. And they were briefly talking about politics, and at least one of the elderly women apparently did not like President Trump. I am not sure if it was the baseball cap wearing elderly woman or not.

Maybe she owns the team? Or, was it a trucker cap? Maybe she's a bit bald and embarrassed. Or, being treated for cancer and lost a lot of hair. Was it bright? Maybe she needed the bill. Did it at least match her outfit? Was it bedazzled?

QB, it looked like she had a full head of hair and long too. I don't know if it matched her outfit or not.

Maybe the hat and the long hair were all connected as a "wig", they do sell them that way!

Not sure what part of Pennsylvania this involves. If between Paoli and Penn Hills, then Alabama dress codes might apply. Are you sure it was "fine dining" ? I wouldn't get dressed up just for a New York strip, Well, maybe for a New York stripper.

People from Alabama have class and they know you are supposed to take your hat off when you are at the dinner table.

Evidently the woman feels that she is old enough to do what she wants, when she wants. I still have a full head of hair so I don't need to wear a hat in a restaurant to cover up and I'm not quite old enough to go with the "do what I want, when I want ------------------------ but we are all going to get there someday if we live long enough.

@TiredFarmer same thing here. I remember my mom getting up every morning at 5:00 a.m. and making dinner. It was already cooked by the time the sun came up. And she cooked breakfast for us everyday too, huge hardy breakfasts. Now they have a commercial about a mom taking her kids to McDonald's for breakfast. SMH. I hope all of you are doing good down there after that hurricane. Hopefully everything will get cleared up soon.
