[The Hankster says] I can remember when I was young, that suit hats were still 'in'. I can remember my dad helping me to try on hats at the Weiners Dept Store on Market street in Jacinto City TX. They had a large selection behind glass, just to the left when you walked in the front door. Now a baseball cap or stocking cap in winter is all I ever ware.
Tomorrow is also an awareness/observation day. It will be 'Humanitarian Day', on the birthday of Martin Luther King. Note: 'World Humanitarian Day is in August.

January is:
January origin (from Wikipedia):
'January is named after Janus, the God of beginnings and transitions;
the name has its beginnings in Roman mythology, coming from the Latin
word for door since January is the door to the year.'
'January is the first month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars
and one of seven months with the length of 31 days.
The first day of the month is known as New Year's Day. It is, on average,
the coldest month of the year within most of the Northern Hemisphere
(where it is the second month of winter) and the warmest month of the year
within most of the Southern Hemisphere (where it is the second month of summer).
In the Southern hemisphere, January is the seasonal equivalent of July in the
Northern hemisphere and vice versa.'
