How not to escape
Recent poor choices in escape vehicles, from bad to worst.
For some reason I'm finding that article particularly funny right now.

License Plate Watch 33
Seen yesterday on a Lincoln Navigator: "DA G8TOR".
The meaning of which seems fairly obvious, University of Florida fans.

How does shouting help?
I hesitate to post anything that could come across as criticizing of the Girl Scouts, but...
The last several times I have gone grocery shopping, groups of Girl Scouts (with adult supervision) have been set up to sell their cookies. This morning was one such instance.
When I exited the store with my purchases, the girls were literally shouting the following over and over again (this one time all-caps typing is justified): "BUY 'EM! EAT 'EM! GIRL SCOUT COOKIES!"
How is shouting at people as they enter and leave the grocery store supposed to be helpful? Isn't it more likely people will just find it obnoxious and so be less likely to buy the cookies? Sheesh. I really hope this was a misguided idea by a parent or parents of this one group. ¶ 3:22 PM 1 Comments Links to this post

What's all this then?
Referring back to this, I've 95% made up my mind to shave off the goatee.
Additionally, I am also seriously debating with myself whether or not to do something I've thought about for a long time: going totally bald by having a barber shave off what's left of my top-of-the-head hair (or at least doing so on a test basis). The alternative would be getting #1 buzz cuts more often than I currently do.
If I do make up my mind to go totally bald, I think I'll hold off on it until I have a vacation of a week or longer later in the year, so that I could have at least a few days of letting the hair grow out again before going back to work if I decide I don't like the look. I'm actually on such a vacation right now, but hadn't got this far along in my thinking at the start of this week. ¶ 4:19 PM 0 Comments Links to this post
