I used to clean my baseball/softball umpire and football official hats in the dishwasher. I'd put them over a metal pot that was just the right size. Worked like a charm .
My sister recently passed away (see I used it too). I knew it was coming and I did have a brief feeling of loss. We are having a memorial service for nher next Friday. I still will not be able to speak at it. I guess that is grief.
I'm sure there have been powerful storms way before any weather statistics were kept let alone before the early European explorers and settlers. Of course climate changes. There were ice ages back in the day. way before cars and cows.
Fast pitch softball went to an optic yellow years ago from the "white" use for years. It really helped me calling balls and strikes was an umpire. I'm sure the hitters liked it too.
