Nov 17 2020 Headline Decisions

 

We think of headlines as something on the front pages of newspapers, but they also are names of hair design salons.  Hair salons seem to excel at naming themselves:
  • By the Blade
  • Crisp Edge
  • Flo Cutters
  • Hair 'n the Hood
  • Hair Rap II
  • Rap Unzel.
  • Ready to Dye
  • Snip Dogg

These come from Ballatory.com where they list 220 clever names for hair salons.  Organized by categories such as: 
Shakespeare inspired - "All the World's a Salon"
Old English-Style:  "Off with their hair"
Movie-themed: Barbarella, Director's Cut, Hair and Back Again
Song titles or lyrics:  Comb Together, Hairbreak Hotel
Religious-related:  Angel's touch, Anointed hands, Hair Mary
Children's salons:  Hair Castle, Cut and Play
Hair Puns:  Get the Hair Outta Here, Hair Play, Neither Here nor Hair


There is advice for overused names:
Cutting Crew
Hair Dot Com
Headlines
Mane Attraction

That's a lot of creativity for just one service industry.

We had a fly-over of the Lancaster at 11:00 am on Remembrance Day.  I ran out with the camera and got a picture of it.  It flies right over the house.  I guess it seems to fly right over all the houses in our area - given how narrow the land is between the escarpment and the Lake.  I expect that Grimsby has the narrowest point.

11-11-11

We are expecting a major winter storm.  Snowvember occurred a few years ago on Nov 13 - 21, 2014. This is where the Niagara escarpment and Lake Ontario came together with lake-effect snowstorms of such sizable proportions that the 2014 storm buried houses leaving people stranded in their homes, trapping motorists, and depositing enough snow to make a record.  One place had 88 inches.  The forecast is for snow to start in the early morning, and I can see white roofs now, but no snow flying.  I expect the snow today will be a lesser a problem for Remembrance Day ceremonies than it might have been.

We are very aware of Remembrance Day and its purpose to commemorate the moment armistice became effective in the first world war.  It is remarkable to consider the millions of people who will participate in silence.  This  will move through Commonwealth countries, along with others such as France and Belgium.  Each with its time zone will stop and remain silent at 11:00am.  Queen Elizabeth has already laid the wreath at the Remembrance Day ceremony.  The news stories say it was an emotional service for her, with her shedding a tear.  

Our pictoral stories today show the fallen leaves of November and the Peace Lily.
