National Hat Day

You get a bonus post today. I could not use the following content tomorrow because today is National Hat Day and not tomorrow. Just to make sure a day actually carried this association, I used the Internet (twice in one day now) and verified that there is such a thing as National Hat Day. 

I get declaring a day as National Hat Day. A guy's hats are important to him, and great care must be devoted to selecting his hat.

I brought two hats to Kauai, and each was chosen with great care. I have my workout hat that turns a funny color from sweat and can be washed multiple times and I have my "go to meeting hat" (shown above, but also below so you can see its splendor). 

We are not tourists

For some reason, in Kauai, I am sensitive to the word tourist. Tourism is obviously of great importance here as a source of revenue for the population, but we are not tourists. Some seem to say the word disparagingly.

Just to confirm that my claim was correct, I looked up the word "tourist" in an online dictionary. Tourist = the act and process of spending time away from home in pursuit of recreation, relaxation, and pleasure, while making use of the commercial provision of services. I was expecting more. Is "home" that "primary residence" thing the MAGAs are continually trying to claim Democrats have declared illegally to commit fraud? I thought home was "where the heart is". As for pleasure, relaxation, and similar experiences, I would think these are possible in multiple locations. It must then be "use of commercial provision of services," which I must admit seems ambiguous. I buy stuff and pay for help in many locations. 

Would a tourist arrive at a residence and find that his chair was right where he left it?

When he arrived, would he reach the front door and find that he knew the combination to the lock box?

Would he open his computer and find that he automatically connected to the Internet?

We are not tourists; we simply live in Kauai for part of the year. You have to live somewhere.
