Cool Hat

Dallas BusinessMan's Special.jpgI'm back from my hiatus. Actually I've been working on a new elmoreleonard.com but by popular demand I must satisfy my public, and my private.

This is a Dallas Businessman's Special hat which is like the one worn by Lt. George Butler during the fatal transfer of Lee Harvey Oswald in the basement of the Dallas Police Department headquarters.

It's held by John Evans, directory of the McAlester, Oklahoma Pirson Museum.

Squirrels Gone Wild!

An example of the growing squirrel menace on the East Side of Detroit rears its cute little head . This particular menace to society is sunning and reposing him or herself on the side of the old oak tree, after a recent dumpster raid. Aren't dumpsters designed to be squirrel-proof? Forget about it! Seems some out of towner left a flaming pickerel head in the garbage and this little devil gnawed through a half inch of dumpster plastic to get at it. Then he hid in plain sight. That's impunity! Nice neat hole, though.
