A new trend, perhaps?

Down the main street of Old Town Alexandria, there are two wig shops. Yes, that’s right, two. Apparently the residents of Old Town are particularly prone to hair loss. Maybe it’s the water. But whenever I walk down the street, I glance in at the wig shops. And every time, my eye is caught by this particulary dummy:

alarming moustached woman

Is it just me, or is this a woman wearing a moustache? She cuts a very dashing figure, to be sure, but she also scares me. (And on a side note, her moustache is just a bit too long isn’t it? Eating or drinking would be fairly unfeasible)

all this talk of popes and cardinals…

Spanish Inquisition [The door flies open and Cardinal Ximinez of Spain enters, flanked by two junior cardinals, Cardinal Biggles and Cardinal Fang]

Ximinez: NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise…surprise and fear…fear and surprise…. Our two weapons are fear and surprise…and ruthless efficiency…. Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency…and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope…. Our *four*…no… *Amongst* our weapons…. Amongst our weaponry…are such elements as fear, surprise…. I’ll come in again.

My recent trip to Red Rocks, Nevada, didn’t involve any peak bagging. The weather was good though. This is me at the base of the climb Johnny Vegas, in Pine Creek Canyon.
