Closure

3.5 months for it to grow.
Mere minutes for it to go.

With my originally “planned” return date having passed, it seemed like it was time to put the final closure on this year’s ride. I know, I know … you thought that was the point of the previous post. What can I say, I’m dragging it out. Side note: I didn’t REALLY have a “planned” return date … more of a general idea that I would likely be back in Ontario in early October. Although the thought of continuing back over to Florida HAD occurred to me.

Anyway, with my trip officially cut short, it was time to do the same to my travel beard. Sigh. Just as it was starting to get unruly too. Okay, maybe it was getting unruly a while ago. At least it was itchy.

If all goes well, this image documenting the demise of my travel beard should be animating. If it just appears as a still … well, then all didn’t go well. I haven’t made a lot of animated GIFs and have had mixed results as to whether they play or not. On the upside, it appears to be working on my computer. On the downside, you’re probably not reading this on my computer.

And no, I’m not sure if this particular animated GIF was a good idea. As is often the case, it seemed like a good idea at the time. Fortunately, I can always UN-post it.
