That's my bush hat, which I have traditionally worn on outdoor excursions for most of my life. It was my father's, issued to him during the Angolan border war. My girlfriend hates it.

There ya go...as promised...Avatar 2014. The most recent pic I have, taken last Friday during our hike in the Tonquani gorge. Actually, one of the last we took, since not long after, things started to get a little rough.

Yeah Av, Shaved the goatee and the head. Much less maintenance!
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

Nah, I swear that's not the pic I remember either. A much earlier one. Brin had a full beard. Maybe I'm just remembering wrong, cause I can't find it in the album.Fist and Faith wrote:Brinn & DLB, the poker twins.
