Whatzit?

They have regular hair dyes in wild colors, now. But, you can still use Jell-O or Kool-Aid.

Now, that is news (!) (Not for practical, personal application, of course; just for newsworthiness, for me, at least. )

Hardly new; my daughter was doing this years ago just to torq off her mother who was far too smart to even bother responding

I know that when it was in style, kids were using Kool-Aid and Jell-O. Some parents did get freaked out, and I'm sure some kids ended up pretty sorry, for not getting permission first.

She pretty much stopped testing the envelope since she did not get the desired reaction. Parents that can be manipulated, are.

I don't like some of the wild hair cuts and colors I see today and am almost afraid to admit that I sort of like that hair job pictured above.
Could it be a wig? Seems that to get it so ordered would take a lot of work.
If she was my kid, I don't know.

This is not a Whatzit? This is a WhatdoIdonow?

I was hiking in the Tucson Mountains today when I saw an old mine across the ravine. So, being an intrepid explorer, I made it down to the dry river and climbed the other side to the mine. The entry had a large stone in it but I had no trouble squeezing by. On the way back to the end of the mine I found a side tunnel which I explored. There was nothing in the mine but dirt and rocks, so I headed back to the entrance. At the entrance I found something very exciting sitting on the large stone at the entrance.



Now what? WhatdoIdonow?

[John Webster]

Looks like that cat might have had a run-in with a trap or door that removed the fur from it's right front leg. I suspect the flash from your camera persuaded him to absquatulate.

Fabulous photo!

[webenda]

What I did was freeze. I tried to not even breath.

No flash but the cat did leave, sitting outside for a few seconds. When it did walk away I left in the opposite direction.

[Roy]

Now what? WhatdoIdonow?

I would've been sure, under the circumstances, to shit my pants. Looking right in the eyes of the author of my imminent gruesome death seems like an appropriate occasion for such action.

[MurphOnMillerAve]

Well, Wayne, if anybody can keep-their-cool, it is you. And keeping cool was apparently the smart thing to have done at that cave entrance. It seems the result was both of you being calm and unthreatened.

I'd like to think I would be such a disciplined participant in such a moment, as you, since not getting loud and shouting and/or gesticulating seems to have worked with that cat. The cat's expression on its face and in its eyes seems to indicate it was reading your peaceful intention, and that it was just as surprised as you at the encounter. For it to have sat down right after your face-to-face, with its back toward you, relaxing, seems to prove your approach to its approach was super intelligent and self-controlled.

Good for you.

Do you think that in future you would carry any type of weapon or spray with you on such jaunts?

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Now what? WhatdoIdonow?

It's a puddy tat.

what zoo?

[Mitch]

Wayne, were you alone on this trek? If so, then I must ask, why the hell would you venture into a cave where nobody knows your in there? What if the outcome would have been really bad? Maybe your remains wouldn't be found for years! Not that it would matter to you if you're dead. Make out a will and leave everything to me before you take on the next adventure. If you don't collect your mail for a year or so, maybe somebody will suspect that you're gone.

In my younger days I spent a lot of time walking in the hills of eastern Kentucky. I would leave home about 8:30 AM and return about 5:00 PM. My wife didn't like it for me to miss dinner. I usually went alone and I never told anybody where I was going except "to the hills". Bobcats and deer were my usual larger animal encounters. I had found several areas that had workable stills and some that were in disrepair but fixable. Once I met some guys working a still. Fortunately I knew one of them. I had bought some of his product from him in the past. Probably a good thing that I had or I might never have seen MTJ. this was in 1973. Oh, that did not stop my walks in the hills but I did start to tell my wife the general area that I planned to visit.
Glad I never met a mountain lion.
