One reason why I'm kind of a goofball
Yesterday I was flipping through a book of old pictures from Russia. I saw one photo from the 1920's of all these factory workers gathered for a labor meeting. They were hundreds of them all standing in the factory, looking straight into the camera, all ages, looking quite stoic, faces hardened by labor, clothes dirtied with machine dust, yet looking quite dignified. And all I could think of was "Wow, look at all those hats."
