Pink sombreros
Recently Avista has been doing some street work in the neighborhood, putting in natural gas lines. Their workers wear the usual luminescent green vests, and they also wear WEIRD pink sombreros. These sombreros appear to be made of flexible translucent plastic. I've also seen a city street cleaner wearing the same sombrero.
I suppose the hats are described as sunshields, but I'm certain they have more to do with Woke symbolism. Frankly they remind me of tinfoil hats. Protection against the Deplorable Witch Rays in this neighborhood, not protection from the sun's UV rays.
Googling 'pink sombrero sun shield' finds some cloth and straw women's gardening hats, but not the weird translucent plastic.
Incidentally, and more seriously, the "pipe" they're putting in the ground is also plastic. It's more like flexible hose than pipe. No wonder it gets punctured every week or so.
