Thinking about shaving off the mutton chop sideburns. It may be insanely vain to even ask, but hey, the more input the better.
So what do y'all think? Should they stay, or should they go?
UPDATE: they're gone for now.

Graceland Too
Now Graceland was interesting and over the top in the "big budget" way, but have you heard of "Graceland Too" in Holly Springs, MIssissippi? QUITE another thing...
Paul McLeod is the obsessed collector, houser and tour guide of this mad Elvisness which absolutely owns his home. First of all, this man can talk and hold your attention with machine-gun rate word-flow, and if he can't verbally garner your attention, he'll grab an arm or slap his chest. He shows pictures of himself and his family resembling various states of Elvisness (he himself resembling Elvis Presley in his youth with varying array of sideburns, his son who resembles Elvis as a kid and later in life, and his ex-wife who resembles Priscilla Presley). All kinds of Elvis or Elvis-related collectibles and things that weren't collectible, yet became so after he amassed so much of it...really; you name it, he's probably got several hundred...There are large, black opaque plastic chests stacked high in each and every room, and you have to noodle your way around them as he shows you stuff and more stuff.
He'll describe how much Coke he drinks on a daily basis and how similar it is to viagra. He'll talk about the future of his home, the backyard prison (complete with a colander-topped slightly functional electric chair), and his pink Cadillac. He'll describe how much his stuff is worth, how much he's been offered for it, and that he's turned down every single offer. He'll describe all the magazines, newspapers and TV shows he's been on. ETC., Etc., etc.
We were lucky to show up on his doorstep at the same time as a car-load of four others at about 8 pm. The six of us were able to diffuse his energy amongst us. After about 1.5 hours there, our brains were full and were starting to hurt. Luckily, a church group of about a dozen teens showed up about then, and we ducked out; shaking hands, taking farewell photos, and signing ledgers.
Tours are available 24/7; you just have to knock louder the later it is (really).
We couldn't find an official website, but here is one that's high on the google search: here

Sideshow Gathering 2008
Former United Counties and Red Rover driver Mick Rolley is seen here at one of his famous 'Birthday parties' during the time he was landlord of The White Hart at Quainton. Latterly he also drove school runs for rural operator Langston and Tasker of Steeple Claydon and drove their last Bedford coach, BWA 21B until it's withdrawal. Somehow my image of all drivers of aged Bedford coaches on rural school contracts and once-a-week market day services through the middle of nowhere is coloured by this man!
A real old character of the industry!
This guy was my favorite character. He had the Monty Python awkwardness down pat.

Carte-de-visite photographic portrait of Dr Preston, M.D.
Born 26th March, 1820, died 16th March, 1901, aged 81.
Taken at the Beard Baron's of Cincinnati's charity car show and cruise in at Frisch's Big Boy Mainliner restaurant parking lot in the Fairfax neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio. This Beard Baron said he was planning on entering the sideburns contest the following night after he cleaned up things a bit so they would display in all their glory. Pretty impressive.

"I'll have the muttonchops"
The queen ate here in 1971 I believe. I think this might have been an advert for the Revolving Restaurant, which I thought while growing up was impossibly sophisticated and space-age. Talking of which, apparently the restaurant was open until 1980, then closed, then reopened as 'Buck Rogers Restaurant' for a year until 1982. It then closed and was empty until around 1999 when Radio City bought it, moved in and added a floor apparently. I had no idea but there was one floor with an outdoor observation deck on top originally. When City moved in they extended upwards and put a second floor where the deck had been. All the times I've seen it before and after they moved in, I don't think I ever noticed the round but had grown upwards!
As part of the Light Night 2017 Arts Festival in Liverpool there will be a small exhibition held of around 50 of my best Liverpool Then and Now photos. I'll share more details as soon as I know them but it will be held at Wong's Jewellers in Whitechapel, Liverpool on the evening of Fri 19 May 2017
We held a similar event in 2015 and it seemed to go very well so if you are in the Liverpool area that day please do feel free to come along!
All these photos can also be seen on my Facebook page...

Today we look at mutton chops; also sometimes called side curtains or side whiskers. This look is achieved when the sideburns are grown out along the jaw until the corner of the lip; although sometimes they may be shorter. The chin is usually bare and it can be worn with or without a moustache....

Yesterday, I bid adieu to Dogseat's Bike. It was an Electra bike made in Brooklyn with a GPS camera phone on the front, and a solar powered recharger on the back. While the bike was in motion, it took a photo once a minute and uploaded it to flickr with GPS info.

It was part of a promotional campaign by Yahoo!.
I made an Obama Map with it

and took it on last year's Tour de Bronx (a 52 mile day!)

Paul Julius Reuter (1816-99) was the founder of Reuters News Agency. German-born but a British citizen, in 1851 he set up his agency in London after negotiating a contract to provide the Royal Exchange (precursor of today’s London International Financial Futures and Options Exchange) with up to date stock prices from the European exchanges.
Reuter the man foresaw the importance of underwater telegraph cables from the UK, not just to Europe but also to the United States and further beyond. As a result Reuters the agency built an unrivalled reputation for its news coverage – enhanced in 1865 when it was first to report the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.
Today, Reuters is still very much in business, supplying news and images for the media and corporate sectors around the world. The founder's bust (look at those wonderful mutton-chops!) is outside the Royal Exchange in London. And is that granite? I've no idea.
