Sometimes a Hard Hat Is NOT just a Hard Hat

As much as I miss Maine, Arizona has some equally fantastic and hilarious culture.  For example, as I was waiting at a stoplight recently, I saw this:

I thought, "Well, I guess fashion over safety."  While I didn't want this guy to fall and crack his head open, I did think it was kind of awesome that he was wearing a cowboy hat while putting up city flags.

Imagine my shock when a friend (you know who you are, Amy ☺) told me that there are cowboy hats with hard hats built into them. Which is the coolest thing I've ever heard.

Welcome to the wild west of Arizona!
