Bad hair months?

Pops is really starting to look like Bernie Sanders...Also, as like in the 1970s, when
I was little, my hair is starting to bother me when I can feel it on my forehead.
More time needs to be spent with the tap and a comb.

Quarantined?

Not a coffin.
Paraphrased discussion from this early evening

A mobile phone call to Arizona from British Columbia...

A senior: Happy Birthday!

Uncle/Dr. Russ: Happy Birthday! (Dear nephew)

Later...

A senior: Yea, I got to get myself a girlfriend; some old lady.

Uncle/Dr. Russ: Yes, nephew, he needs to have himself quarantined in one of those
locally quarantined old age homes.

Nephew: Laughs out loud. (I imagine he will tell his Father)

Pandemic bullets and special thoughts

Facebook
Pandemic bullets and special thoughts 

• My deduction is that this is quite a mentally conflicted time for Mr. Bobby Buff. On one hand, being a (borderline?) germophobe/germaphobe (I have told him many times and for years that the smell of gasoline is better than the perfume smell of the hand sanitizer he uses after he fills up), he must be terrified of COVID-19, or worse yet, if Chuck's often well-kept and stylish, but often reddish dome finally explodes, could this lead to COVID-20?

• On the other hand, this COVID-19 pandemic provides Mr. Buff with perhaps the best reason ever to avoid associating with his friends and to stay on a strict, every day is the same, schedule. In decades past he would hit the gym, but as that wound down, he was associating more. Not now...same with all of us.

• Bobby confirmed to me via phone that he has traded his bulk stock of Crisco, for his now bulk stock of hand sanitizer.

• Chuck is also quite mentally conflicted, I reason. If he keeps his dome well-kept and professional looking (like a CEO states one mutual friend), no matter what this computer genius and choir star does, somehow radiation from the sun still burns through his cap while Chuckles chauffeurs his brothers around British Columbia.

 Chuck, therefore, 'transitions' into the 'Red Skull'.

• If Chuck, reasons that he needs to cover up the dome, as much as possible, and lets the fur grow back, he risks once again morphing into Mister Hooper, from Sesame Street, the Shake n' Bake guy, and perhaps worst of all, once again being accused of being my Dad.

 Chuck was not pleased! After all, he looks like the Red Skull and not the Kingpin. Being confused with one another is 'highly offensive' for both of us.

• I love Deeaann and Banajela, and I miss their superstar daughter's on-stage performances. I also miss their fine dinners and desserts.

 The last superstar daughter show I viewed was very good at a local Surrey church. Granted Deeaann did a fantastic job with his first impromptu acting gig and ended up being the star of the show.

 But I went to the show to see his superstar daughter and Banajela sing like professionals. Instead, the star of the show was a balding, anorexic-looking, Trudeau-voting, computer guy carrying a briefcase...

 Meanwhile, not much has changed for Manson...just no shows to attend.

My pre-Reformed stage

Near the fireplace...
Apparently as a toddler, at least on one occasion, as I was probably angry with my mother, I ate parts of some of her plants and then hid in the wood fireplace and closed the gate, covered in ashes. I then waited for my parents to find me, I am told.

My mother has told me that in the past, I blamed God for everything.

(My pre-Reformed stage)

Incidentally, no one has invited me over to their home very recently...

King James Version

Job 2:8

And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes.

King James Version

Job 42: 6

Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.

English Standard Version

Jonah 3: 6

The word reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, removed his robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
