States with thinnest hair?

@melonscoop A lot of guys wearing cowboy hats up there???

@Kyeh Excellent insight! Idaho fashion provides some level of cover for the thinning head.

@Kyeh @melonscoop Hey, Kyeh. I wear a cowboy hat everyday! I will say, however, the DC area doesn’t know how to process a cowboy hat

Also, after my thing my hair started falling out in clumps. One day it just stopped. My wife likes me with long hair and I’ve donated it twice. It’s now growing in strong like I’m 18 again I’m 53 and I haven’t gone grey (except some salt and pepper in my beard). I’m growing it out again and it’s almost shoulder length at the moment. I was worried that it would all be gone, but it seems, life finds a way

@Kyeh @melonscoop This is what is was like a decade ago… I’m getting back there

@melonscoop Methinks the people of Wyoming are buying it for their livestock to stay warm in the upcoming colder months.

@capnjb @melonscoop You’re so lucky to have that gorgeous hair come back - congratulations!

@capnjb @Kyeh @melonscoop That is/was awesome hair. Also apparently very nice ladies with you. (maybe it’s the hair?)

I used to do long hair but strands are very fine so don’t build up much mass (it grows and not too balding but hard to do much with it). I would see guys “proto-hipsters?” with thin ponytails but looked a bit sad on them. Had it cut short and then regretted that too. Now i’m in-between along with the graying beard feels like I’m in “default homeless guy” look.

VAN MURALS! GROUND SQUIRRELS! SPIT CURLS! AWESOME!

@capnjb @Kyeh @melonscoop @pmarin In Idaho there are also a lot of skinheads so they’d likely rather have some hair remover.

@capnjb @Kidsandliz @Kyeh @melonscoop I do think that there is a “bond” among people with cowboy hats regardless of other things. I just remembered I bought my first one in Idaho Falls. Was in my mother’s house when I went to college. It got “lost” and my mother thinks some people that helped here move stuff stole it, but she was always suspicious of everyone (early 20th century European). But yeah never found it. But it was a Stetson, and a fairly good one as I recall!

Did buy myself a new Stetson last year. Seems weird wearing it not sure why I even bought it. Would not wear around here unless I go the Pendleton Rodeo or something. But like I said might protect me from being shot in Idaho or other middle states. I do love the hats though. Also funny that long hair has come back into “country” (both the culture and the music) so long-haired redneck is a thing again. “country” having a hard time dealing with mixed culture; they had it coming. Not much in the world happens that Beyonce and Taylor Swift can’t totally mess with it! kind-of fun to watch.

For anyone wanting a closer look, here it is:

Obviously a state named “Heal” isn’t going to need any medications. I don’t know why Alvonians would need it more than Cubans or anyone else, though.

@xobzoo You’d think Cuba would take over someplace southeast, like Florida not the most northwestern state of Washington.
Wonder why California was split in half, the rest of the map looks OK.

@xobzoo That’s amazing. I’m visiting Cuba for work next week, I guess.

@melonscoop @xobzoo I’m in Cuba now (the one in the picture. Haven’t found the good cigars or rum yet.) Like that some states like former-Oregon don’t get a name (maybe it’s the legalized pot and mushrooms, it’s like, whatever, man, why bother?) But we have that here (in neo-Cuba) too and we still are capable of having fine companies like Microsoft take down 1/2 the internetz and Boeing, well, being Boeing.

@callow @xobzoo Also people have been trying to split California into 2 states since I grew up there (a long time ago). There was things like the water wars where SoCal gets to take a lot of NorCal water and deplete natural lakes and habitat so they can have green lawns at golf courses. Later it turned more into a metro vs rural fight like goes on in a lot of the country now with dramatic red/blue (as they call them now) divisions. Both former-Oregon and neo-Cuba have similar things with large metro areas and huge amounts of farmland, forestry, etc. Another proposal you can look up was the “State of Jefferson” that was going to split off NorCal and Southern Oregon but that was never really going to go anywhere except for selling bumper stickers. There is also the Greater Idaho (neo-Heal) proposal that resurfaced recently where Idaho was going to acquire the Eastern part of Oregon. So there could be lots of guns and no women’s rights.

But when I drive through there I’ll wear a cowboy or at least a trucker hat. And definitely not something like a Bernie T-shirt. Don’t want to get shot.

@xobzoo

state named “Heal” isn’t going to need any medications.

Yeah as far as I know neo-Heal doesn’t have legal marijuana. Same with Hast and Alvd. And I don’t use or carry it anyway. My wife did sometimes but not much anymore. It was strange going from West Coast to Colorado, but in between there are those states where technically you are a criminal even with a small amount. (which, again, we don’t normally carry anyway).

@pmarin
Who are you fooling?

We all know that your nickname is Cheech.

@G1 @pmarin

@G1 @Kyeh Ironically my middle name is Marin but it was actually a family name on my father’s side from what is now Croatia. Also I was born in Marin County. And it’s kind of a nice name.
As I recall Cheech’s full name (at least what he goes by) is Cheech Marin. So there is that.

@G1 @pmarin Right, Cheech Marin! I hadn’t thought of that - but G1 did!

@G1 @Kyeh Oh, yeah, forgot it’s part of my username. Now the Cheech comment makes more sense!
I had been using pmarin as a username since the 1970s, early 80s, when I and a couple of friends did computer stuff. Long before interetz as we know it but there was local networking and various dial-up systems, some run by my friends. Also was my work username at times, before they mandated an official firstname.lastname system.

@G1 @pmarin Forgot your username?

@mediocrebot That is the map on November 6, I assume?

@KSchweitz That could have been way worse.

@mediocrebot Weirdly soothing and also disturbing. I would buy a pillow with that on it. But don’t don’t want to know who’s or what’s hair that is for each state.

former-Alaska seem to have a tail, and some other dangling appendage probably best not identified more closely.
