Are We Becoming Eastern Europe Circa 1980?
One of the most enduring images of 1980s Eastern Europe is people queuing up outside of stores for scarce goods. Look at us now.
This bring up a point. What do I do about my hair? Do I just let it grow and hen have one grand haircut when the quarantining is over? Or do I just cut it off Kojak-style?
Itās getting a little long. Here is a picture I took of myself just this morning:
How long have you been in quarantine anyway?
Dude, your pupilsā¦
I think Friday was my breaking point.
Clippers #6 guard, stand in the tub and just keep running the clippers over my head until the big pieces stopped falling. I toyed with doing a mohawk, but knew I couldnāt keep it straight.
Then a little close up work at the vanity mirror and Iām reasonably happy.
Did anybody ever tell you you look a lot like Jim Morrison?
Caputo, a prolific user who often tweeted insults and profanity, recently erased nearly his entire Twitter history from before April 12.
A conservative I know sent a long email about how all the various diseases and viruses and whatnot have been named after places they supposedly originated or were found, respectively; i.e., Spanish flu, Ebola virus, so why not with SARS-CoV-2.

Think Sikhs after 9/11. I got no reply.

Itās a hell of a lot safer, and more accurate, to use a name that specifies the virus, and not try to throw in additional information that may or may not be true.
No, he was with the Doors.
If theyāre as dilated as the ones in the photo, that wonāt be a problem, will it?
Iām considering shaving my head to see how much grey and/or white hair Iāll have when it grows back.
Funny!
Funny!
Didnāt he play third base?
Regardless of any orders, Iām not asking my lab personnel to return this summer, and I wonāt be going to any professional functions. So I expanded my undercut into a shaved side. Canāt see it under my bob unless I specifically show it off. Weāre doing a strand test on my daughter for some pink hair dye she has. I think Iām going to dye the shaved parts of my hair pink, too.
