This week’s column is about something I know little about. I have little idea how to read the stats on it, or much of anything else. That being said, I am fascinated by it. What is it? It is DNA. Again, this came from something I have been reading, and as you know that covers a very wide spectrum of subjects. I think that as study continues on the subject, we are going to be astounded by the findings. We already know that many of our illnesses are passed through families by DNA.

The Lowe Down
Where I come from a man’s ball cap is his calling card. His brand. It is a staple. Above the functional bill generally indicates what he supports. It could be a business, politician, a school, sports team or motto. Much like the physical state of a child’s stuffed animal, the rough condition of a ball cap indicates how well loved it is by its owner. If the wearer is a gentleman, he knows to remove it during prayer, at the dinner table, in the church pew and during the Pledge of Allegiance. When I was a young girl it was generally said that a man should take his hat off indoors. Men rarely do that anymore. Women wear ball caps today as well. I personally own several. In addition to the aforementioned situations, in the old days, it was customary for a gentleman to remove his hat when entering someone’s home, inside public buildings, such as a courthouse or school, the movies, during the National Anthem, when being introduced to someone, and any instance in the presence of our flag. Our etiquette about quite a few things has loosened over the years.
