Makeup is so weird. In the glamour mags, when they have \'before\' and
\'after\' pics, I always prefer before. Once you paint people, they all
start to look alike.
I don\'t read glamour mags and have very little experience with makeup.
(okay, there is that tube of red lipstick I use for fitting parts). I
prefer the original meaning of \'glamour\', an enchantment creating an
illusion.
My haircutting lady, err stylist, only has glamour magazines in her
waiting area. I donated a bunch of car and science mags, but they
disappeared.
I don\'t have much experience with stylists either. I\'m a partial Sikh; I
don\'t cut my hair or beard and I always carry a knife.
It\'s funny, I\'ve been to San Francisco lots of times for work. People
say it\'s their favo(u)rite city. I\'ve obviously never found the nice
bit.
I seriously researched the USA for over six months, to restart my life,
and picked SF. People said \"but it\'s full of gay guys\" to which the
proper response is \"and smart beautiful single women.\"
Stay away from downtown, Fishermans Wharf, Chinatown, all that dense
tourist stuff. There are beautiful quirky neighborhoods, hills and
cliffs, beaches, old forts, stairways, lanes, patches of wilderness,
creeks, and one actual canyon with owls and coyotes. And some awesome
hikes and views.
I too did quite a bit of research and traveled around the western states
for a bout a year. I was familiar with the area east of the Mississippi. I
picked Montana. That was over 30 years ago and I have no regrets.
(New observation: are gay guys less inclined to have dogs?)
I\'d say (p)oodles, unless they have homeboys on leads instead.
A bit god fearing, but extremely good people in Utah, Montana andOn Mon, 03 Apr 2023 08:05:14 -0700, John Larkin wrote:

I hiked a trail through the chaparral somewhere above Berkeley that I
probably could never find again. That was my introduction to poison oak.
Tam wasn\'t too bad.
The first time I went there was in the \'80s for a semiconductor show. On
the approach to the airport

We were in the Castro yesterday and I didn\'t see many dogs. There are
other neighborhoods where I think it is a felony to walk around without
a dog or a kid.
We like to pick the blackberries in late summer, but blackberries and
poison oak are soul mates.
A bit god fearing, but extremely good people in Utah, Montana and
Colorado IME.
It was interesting and scary to say, basically, that I\'m going to
restart my life from zero. I have no regrets either.
You need to pick and choose in Colorado and Utah. Denver and SLC are
colonies of California.
Around here a Subaru Forester and a Labrador with a red kerchief are
issued at birth. I like dogs but I wish their owners were bright enough to
realize you\'re supposed to take the little bags of shit with you. The
cartoon instructions at the trailheads omit that part.
