NEWSHT_140821_318.JPG: Pharrell's Hat Goes Viral
Singer Pharrell Williams wore this hat to the 2014 Grammy Awards, igniting a social media frenzy and a much-retweeted tip of the hat from Arby's, the fast-food chain with a look-alike logo. Pharrell's hat isn't his only social media sensation. His smash hit "Happy" inspired fan videos around the world. In Iran, seven people were arrested when officials, accused them of "spreading corruption" with their video of the song. Amid social media outcry, they were freed on bail after Iranian President Hassan Rochani tweeted: "Happiness is our people's right."

Michigan to visit mom in the hospice before she died and then a return trip after she died, and
my 9th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Las Vegas, Reno, Carson City, Sacramento, Oakland, and Los Angeles).
