My hair, especially my beard, began whitening 20 years ago or so; and I immediately started dying it. Not to fool anyone else into thinking I am younger than I am, but so I would continue to recognize myself in the mirror. But then we moved to Maui, and there are no stores here carrying the kind of hair dye I prefer. So, I decided, what with the coronavirus shutdown and people not being able to go to a barber shop anyway, this was as good a time as any to go au natural.

So I did. But my beard has been growing like crazy (if only the top of my head had some of my beard's enthusiasm) and I decided, shortly after midnight as I was enjoying the night sky.

In the morning, I fed the dogs, released any trapped frogs (they get into the tarps and sometimes can't find their way out), and got out the electric hair cutter.

Before and After:

I felt a lot lighter after the trim!

And then it was time for sunset.
