This is the longest I ever let mine grow, me on the right in the killer shirt.


Are you hiding something, all I get is the minus sign inside a grey circle.

....I've had all kinds of hair configurations....




...but this is my favorite.....the "carefree look" is hard to beat!


All the many,many, X-rays and drugs I have taken in the last 6 months have thinned my hair considerably. At this point, it doesn't matter much though. No telling what else all those drugs and stuff are really doing? I'm pretty sure they are killing us in the long term...while maybe saving us in the short term? I'm at the point where I don't worry much about them......one way or another they won't matter much.


Mrs Tim does not like me to wear the carefree look.


Does not go over well at work either, although I have one colleague who wears the Civil War look, I mean the real Civil War, Cromwell vs Crown.

That reminds me, in Oxford there is a little street, with a four space street side carpark, off Speedwell St called Cromwell St. At the end there is some kind of homeless shelter so there are always unfortunate looking people around there. Just round the corner, on St Aldates is the city court building and the police station on the other side. Just the other way along St Aldates is one of the major tourist attractions, the gardens below Christ Church College (of Oxford U).

Covers all sides there then.

The poor and destitute.

The law and judiciary.

The tourism and education.

Only thing lacking is a hospital.

And shopping.

They just opened the new Westgate Shopping Centre - a grand mall type place with a variety of middle and upper market brands. That is about 5 minutes walk away, twice as far as the Christ Church College, which also includes the seat of the Diocese of Oxford, Christ Church Cathedral. That is the church where Alice in Wonderland's father was the Bishop.


Hospitals are a bit further away, but near enough that there are hoons driving through Speedwell St in vans with flashing blue lights, trying to dodge the buses that accumulate there and in St Aldates. That route is one of the major routes for buses to get through Oxford from west to east. Car traffic is banned from parts of that route and so needs to take a 2 mile detour, going further south from the court and police station, over Folly Bridge. There are major hospitals on each side of the A420, London Road in the east of Oxford, about 1-2 miles from the area we are talking about. Both are teaching hospitals of the university and are differentiated by different specialisations. The one to the north is the JR and the one to the south is the Churchill. A little bit further out of town than the police station, along the St Aldates road, after the Folly Bridge, is the running track where Bannister beat the 4 minute mile for the first time for anyone to achieve that feat.


And the Thames has a different name in Oxford, the same as an ancient Egyptian god, and the name gets people in trouble if they live in streets named after it if they order goods from the famous online shops based in US because the clerks in those big online shops are not smart enough to realise that Oxford, UK is not in Syria. The same issue also caused difficulty for the Oxford University commercialisation company because it was named the same as the local name of said river.

Your look is much more like most of my colleagues, the men colleagues. The women colleagues sport the full range of women's hair styles and levels of personal grooming attention, too. I think that the majority of the men's goes over better with our customers than the Civil War look. That particular colleague is extremely well respected because he is good at his work.

Cleaned the front gutter of leaves this morning, by hand, up and down a ladder.
Back gutter has to be cleaned by walking along the roof due to the height, that one will wait for our son.
My jury rigged blower extension wasn't working well on packed in, overflowing leaves, but it worked well on maple helicopters last spring.

This article should be properly re-titled:
"Squirrel graduates from Otis University and immediately finds a willing Sucker!"
His emotional support squirrel could get him evicted, but he won?t live without her
