Poser No More

During our move from LA to rural NY, I told my wife that I planned to country-accessorize immediately upon arrival.  I would own outdoor animals. I would buy farm equipment.  My clothing would be “Git er done” flannel and denim, and my hat would read “John Deere”.  Her response was, “Knock yourself out, poser.”

She had a point. I mean, how lame for an out-of-state urbanite to dress up all country local  without actually being country local. But today, as I was walking our dog across a barren cornfield, I found this little beauty, frozen in the snow…

And I really don’t think it would be right to wear it without a proper tractor underneath me.

  1. that hat’ll get you into a diner or two – just don’t say anything except if someone seems to be waiting for a reply say “your cows maybe gittin out” or “croppie’s maybe bitin.” Oh and at least get a pickup truck. Pitl’ll look good in the back – though she will eat your socks for doing that and that’ll make a nasty asspull
