As for hair...

Pluto isn't quite as lonely as scientists had thought.
Astronomers have discovered another dwarf planet in the Kuiper Belt, the ring of icy objects beyond Neptune. But this newfound world, dubbed 2015 RR245, is much more distant than Pluto, orbiting the sun once every 700 Earth years, scientists said. (Pluto completes one lap around the sun every 248 Earth years.)
"The icy worlds beyond Neptune trace how the giant planets formed and then moved out from the sun," discovery team member Michele Bannister, of the University of Victoria in British Columbia, said in a statement. "They let us piece together the history of our solar system."

The exact size of 2015 RR245 is not yet known, but the researchers think it's about 435 miles (700 kilometers) wide. Pluto is the largest resident of the Kuiper Belt, with a diameter of 1,474 miles (2,371 km).
The research team first spotted 2015 RR245 in February of this year, while poring over images that the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope in Hawaii took in September 2015 as part of the ongoing Outer Solar System Origins Survey (OSSOS).
"There it was on the screen — this dot of light moving so slowly that it had to be at least twice as far as Neptune from the sun," Bannister said.

I figured out how to flummox ‘em.
Everytime I post a positive comment about Trump there’s a huge hue-and-cry down at Willhelm’s house. Seems I somehow got piggybacked on his router.
It’s been raining all afternoon. I feel much better now that my hair has been cut.
I was just flipping through some of the pics I have in my documents file, and wondered: Did you ever get the meme of the lizard shopping? I emailed it, but if you didn’t get it, I’ll try it again.
It’s puckering up to rain again. The barometer is really dropping.
I sure will I lived close to you so Jamie could cut my hair, too!
Maybe next month.
How is she doing, these days?
YEs, I did. It was cute. Jamie is doing okay. She was thinking of moving to Florida, but it was going to work out this year, so she’s going to think about it again next year. Meanwhile, she’s got a part-time job delivering pizzas, which will not keep her from cutting hair.
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down.
Except when my hair is shorter.
Today is Friday. I feel happier when I’m not being stalked by my hair.
Tomorrow, PBS is having a marathon of Downton Abbey, so maybe my errand running won’t interfere with the episodes I missed. I hope.
I love watching Dame Maggie Smith deliver the perfect squelch!
As for hair...
She has issues with her canine teeth.
Oh, sounds fun! Tomorrow we’ll go to Missionaries of the Poor, if it’s not raining too much.
Elen’s just handed me a paper she wrote on ancient Egyptian religion. It has Comma Chaos.
Can I have your palindromic post?
EEEK! Not the Comma Chaos? *gasp*
And that, my dear is my last gasp for the day, as I’m off to watch the Blanket Show.
See you all in the morning!
Oh, ArGee, that’s just WRONG! But it’s your birthday, so make yourself happy!
Maybe that’s what creeped her hair out.
Nah. The cemeteries around here are too full already.
I’ll stick with making myself mildly amused.
Hope you have a good night. Er, both of you.
Is comma chaos the result of, an, overabundance, of, or, a dearth of said punctuation mark?
Shoots, leaves.
She or you?
