2007 Hat

It's cold in NYC these days. Everyone's wearing their warm hats, or "tuques," as my good Canadian friends call it.

Saw a guy last night on the way home wearing a hat that read "2007" on the front.

What an odd thing to have on a hat, I said to myself. I wish I had one that read "1993." For instance.

Does he buy a new hat each year? Has he had the 2007 one for a few years, waiting for the right time? Or did he wear the 2007 one even before this past January?
