Monday Musings # 11

Let's begin with a few newspaper quotes:

"Birthdays are good for you, the more you have, the longer you live."
***********
"A politician is a person who will double-cross that bridge when they get to it."
***********
"got a free hour? don't fill it - just be in it." (my favourite)
***********
T-shirt message: "the fact there's a Highway to Hell and only a Stairway to Heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic numbers."
***********
Here's something to muse upon: In the opening scenes of The Blacklist (my favourite TV show), Raymond Reddington says to Elizabeth Keen, " you got rid of your highlights, you look a lot less Baltimore."

What exactly is this "Baltimore" look?
Do all girls/women in Baltimore have highlights in their hair?
Only those of a certain age? Those with a particular hairstyle?
***********
What about other cities? or states? Is there a "look" the defines you? 
Can you travel to another part of the country and have people know instantly where you are from by your hairstyle or hair colouring?

I've been watching my DVD movie collection to decide which ones I'm happy to keep and watch again and which ones I can live without. Some of them I had on VHS tapes and transferred them to DVD when I got a player that used both media styles. It's easy, and I got 99% of them transferred before the player broke down from overuse. The VHS part, the DVD part was fine. Buying blank DVD discs was much cheaper than buying the movies on DVD. Anyway, some of the transferred movies, have static lines and iffy sound, because the VHS tapes were so old and worn, so I'm making a list of those and I'll eventually replace them with DVD copies if I can find them. Some are really old and may not be available.
