Day 20,261 Haircut went very well (better than the “just a little off the top” rhat I could doodle, certainly) made a standing appointment for every 8 weeks to keep myself spiffy and clean looking. Many thanks to @misfitbeautyclub for a lovely experience, with delightful results! https://www.instagram.com/p/C91I9zLsa0U/?igsh=aXQwdmhucnB5cDN0

Hey, hey, hey, hey-now. Don’t be mean; we don’t have to be mean, cuz, remember, no matter where you go, there you are #buckaroobanzai #comicpanel #marvelcomics https://www.instagram.com/p/C90xD1vsayU/?igsh=MW4yaXk1OHRoem1xOA==

Getting my leaves trimmed tomorrow via @misfitbeautyclub ! Michaela has already done an amazing job on both @maximillian_deersteak and @almsvats , and is incredibly accommodating to my needs as someone who needs a mask and some other disability parameters met. I may or may not get color, but I am looking forward to a long-overdue cleanup. I doodled her as a clown because she had some amazing clown earrings on when I picked up Max after the last appointment. She seems like a kind and cool critter, based on the limited talk and feedback from the gang, too! #doodle #clown #topiary #scottogetsahaircut https://www.instagram.com/p/C9xijeUxwjs/?igsh=MXNrOTI0dG9mZ3g3Zg==

Adopted these two alien kitties ( Nirvana and Marie ) last time we visited the @blueridgeindiemarket and the @kittycitycatcafe . Hard to resist these guys, and Pearl wants to make them into her personal toys. I met the adoptable Nirvana that same day, and it is true. He really does give super hugs. I believe Marie was adopted before we got there, but these tokens are pretty awesome. Kudos to the artist who sewed them and made hand-written profile cards and adoption certificates.

Day 20,255

Oh, thank goodness! I swear, I can feel energy coming back into my body and all my extremities again. The air smells sweeter with a touch of ozone. There is a little less gravity pulling me to the earth.  Rain is a magical thing, especially in the summertime.

Day 20,254

Phew, keep to the shade and stay hydrated today! I just did a quick run to the post office and some other errands, and I feel like a walking pork roast. Speaking of which, the painted pig is done up like a bumblebee! No walkaround; I only caught a glimpse of him from the stop light. A cool shower is in order, so I will catch you later, dear journal.

Re: Metal Strip on the dash of Columbo’s peugeot I had always thought it was a defroster, but I was wrong. From : “Feb 25 at 6:41 AM SeattleCurmudgeon The wire fence is indeed an aftermarket device to keep stuff on the dash, Every cab in Paris had these things for decades until the mid- to late-80’s when dash designs changed. Probably not compatible with airbags unless you want to reinvent the guillotine.” http://bringatrailer.com/2013/02/24/parked-23-years-1959-peugeot-403/ #columbo #peugeot https://www.instagram.com/p/C9dmqmwzoKE/?igsh=NzBmcmowbmhyeW1k

19 year old Katey Sagal (Leela from futerama/peg from married with children) w/Peter Falk in the Columbo episode “Candidate For Crime”. Wonder how she got this part… Perhaps her father Boris Sagal, the episode’s director, put in a good word for her (1973) https://www.instagram.com/p/C9djb1lMJWX/?igsh=cGt2c293M3p6eXY0
