Shorts are fine everywhere you go. You won’t need jeans, it’s high 80’s-90 degrees every day! Lopez country club is a bit upscale but golfers eat there and they wear shorts. Enjoy your visit!

In Florida? Not likely. Oh, maybe Rose Plantation.

As a result I never leave my house without a cap. Not going to be out in the sun from car to restaurant without covering my head. As a result wear I go my cap goes.

Sorry if that disturbs anyone but not going to change this. Do not think your food will taste any different with me wearing a cap.
Really? You can’t remove your cap after you enter the restaurant? Perhaps the problem is deeper than your skin?

Well, I know at least two guys who keep their caps on all the time because they are ashamed of balding hair. They are lovely people with or without their caps, but they don’t feel it. I guess guys with the turbans don’t have this problem.

I wish there was a dress code for what people shouldn’t be wearing when they go out to their driveway in the morning and bend over to pick up the newspaper!

It used to be an etiquette NO-NO for men to wear a hat indoors. But, I think that rule has been phased out, except maybe for the military? I remember when I worked with Army guys who would carry their hat in their hand everywhere they went indoors. But as soon as they stepped outside, they immediately put the hat on or they would be considered out-of-uniform. Also, Army guys could never use an umbrella when they were in uniform.

It should be your concern, not ours.

Wearing a hat indoors, is just simple poor manners. If you choose to display ignorance of good manners, you're surely welcome to do that. If you're sitting at a restaurant and see folks pointing at you, there's your 1st guess as to why they're pointing.

IMHO the world has changed. If you do not see it that way that is up to you.

Reminds me of an episode of Everyone loves Raymond where Frank goes out to get his paper in the morning.
