Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[RealAlHazred]

So I am cleaning up my bookmarks (some of which date from the early '00); its like opening a box of chocolates, you don't know what virus warning you are going to get. Even more fun is clicking on seankreynolds.com and being redirected to a chiropractic practice website . Evidently, Sean is the biggest chiropractor in PA... <face palm>. Note, he isn't part of that website at all.

I still have an old del.icio.us account I imported my old bookmarks to in the 00s. Interesting archaeology to be had there -- I never delete those.

I had my head shaved three Saturdays ago...but only after I had the barber gather up individual clumps of my hair, rubber band each clump tightly, and cut it off as close to the scalp as possible. This is the second time I've donated my hair to Wigs for Kids, a charity that takes donated hair and makes wigs for children going through chemo. The thing I like about them is they donate the wigs they make to the families with kids who could use them, rather than selling them to make a profit from a family already going through a lot.

From past experience, I won't be ready to donate again until May of 2031 - it takes me about six years to go from "shaved bald" to "long enough to donate." (They require 12 inches minimum, so I try to grow it to 13 inches to give myself some wiggle room.)

But in any case, my hat of choice is still a ball cap - either my USSTRATCOM cap if I'm going to work or a plain black one otherwise. Before, it was to keep my long hair from blowing in my face; now it's to keep my bald head from getting burned (and to help me get past the gate guards without any questions despite no longer looking very much like the guy in my ID card photo.)

We still tend to buy baseball caps as our more-everyday headwear, though we mostly wear them when we're traveling these days. Mine is a souvenir from Taliesin (Frank Lloyd Wright's studio/house in Wisconsin) hers is from Wind Cave National Park.
