Let a Hesperia Star cap be your umbrella

Throughout my almost-five-years at the Hesperia Star, I’ve seen a lot of value in having several shirts with the Hesperia Star logo over the breast pocket.

It’s a quick way for people to spot me if they need to talk to a reporter at a meeting. It’s a quick way of getting past the gatekeepers to get into an event. It even makes folks at school sites a little less uncomfortable with having some strange dude with a camera roaming around campus.

In addition, I’ve got a baseball cap with the Star’s logo on it, which I got as a way to combat the Victor Valley’s blowing dust and grit in early summer each year.

On a day like today, when I’m out at the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition site in Phelan, when it’s 46 degrees with icy rain being blown sideways by the wind, the cap also works to provide warmth and a little bit of shelter from the elements.

If I’d remembered to bring it.

It serving as a cubicle decoration is almost as useful, of course.
