Naw.  I need to wear it for sun protection anyway.  I have the serious
river-rafting model with the silly little chin strap so it does not fly off
at 70.  When sun is not a problem, I love to have the wind in my hair.

Naw.  She wears a scarf-hat like they did in the sixties.

Oh, yeah.

You bet.

Well, maybe.  The Lexan I have bought purports to have an anti-UV coating on
one side only.  Not sure how much UV it takes to degrade the stuff anyway.


Don't worry about cutting this stuff.  Unlike Plexiglas, you can shove Lexan
through a table-saw with impunity.
