Hay, I picked up a wunnerful, sweet, flavourful honeydew melon today - well, actually a pre-sliced half melon, as I'm leaving soon and don't have time to Finnish a hole melon.
Wowza, it's gut. I refrigerate that sucker until ready to eat, and on a hott day it's delightful and refreshing (and relaxing, like a lime iced tea).
Some peer(s) wish to shame/scold me for availing myseff of the $99 BayArea-Hawai'i fare sale, butt I am shameless. Hell, I like Souffwess - they are more on-time than the Majors in the USA (and way better than Air Canada!).
Some need to stay at a Four Seasons or a Fairmont, butt I am fine with a Holiday Inn Express or even a Super 8 if I'm traveling alone and on my own dime on DaInnerstate. My OrthoBuddy used to be like me, butt hanging around his crowd has made him forget, until I drag him back down, about his roots in rural poverty. He sez, and rightly so and accurately I think, that I'm basically a homeless guy with homes. That's pretty accurate. For the passed decade, I often don't shave for days - many daze sometimes - in fack I'm currently sporting a bushy two-month beard, and prolly will hang onto it until autumn. Every time I grow it ~OUTT, there is more and more gray/white in it. Butt I despise shaving. I've always been a razor man - Bic disposables and 99 cent cheap Barbasol shaving cream diluted with tap water. I don't like electric razors. I can squeeze about a munff ~OUTT of one Bic disposable single blader.
It's kinda weird though that the beard goes white much faster than the hair on the dome. It looks weird. Oh well, I really care nott at all. Butt it does seem strange, from a biological point of view, why beard hair goes white much faster than dome hair - and my chest hair is all black butt for just a small fraction of whites. Why does hair age differently on different parts of the body? I think we need some Federal grant munny to answer this kwestion of deep importance to about 50 percent of our species.
Now I just avoid shaving unless it's for a formal appearance. I normally lett it go for a week, then use an electric beard trimmer to shear it off like one shears a sheep, then razor shave to start the cycle again. I can usually deal with a beard for 4-6 munffs, then I gotta buzz it off. And after 4-6 munffs, one can usually squeeze a decent bowl of soup or chili ~OUTT of it.
For many years/decades, I suffered under the peer pressure bleef that I needed to shave every day as a social custom. Welp, i simply gott tired of it and started to skip a day. Then skip several days. Then a week. And it made zero difference to my existence re: peers and clients. Now I'm just known for stubble and the occasional beard. We tie ourselves up in trying to meet other peoples' expectations of us - or what we wronGGGly bleeve those expectations to be.
I've never given much of a damn about shit like that, butt having gotten old, I really don't even think about that anymore. it's very liberating. As an observer, it seems that wimmin suffer from the expectations game more than menvolk. I cannot imagine taking 45 minutes to apply makeup and select clothes. From the time I leave DaShower until the time I'm behind the wheel is maybe 5 minutes - often less - with shaving eliminated.
