Misc
It’s finally beautiful in Tucson again. 66 right now, very light breeze. I’m on the back porch abusing the technology.

Hairless Wonder
I have very blond hair. I suspect my hair grows at rates commensurate with the population at large, but being blond I don’t have to shave it very often. Every 3-5 days or so. So shaving is not exactly a priority for me. A few weeks ago I got a hankering to shave my face [...]
