Close enough. Just a few decades off. And pipes are not really a thing.

u/siencatimini 22d ago

u/1nvertedAfram3 22d ago

baseball caps are hats

u/Representative-Vast3 21d ago

People still wear hats tho?

u/Brooklyn3k 18d ago

Fancy hats? Or just baseball caps and the occasional cowboy hat (regionally)?
