Title: Crocuses or Bald Domes?
Post by: DCdome on February 19, 2009, 05:24:33 PM: What's the better harbinger of spring? Haven't seen any crocuses locally yet this year. But it got up to 47 degrees today in downtown Boston and bald domes were certainly out in all of their glory, including mine! Business guys, older guys, the whole gamet.

Also saw other people bundled up including one lady in a parka (lol).

Sadly, there's supposed to be a light snow overnight.

Any of you guys in colder climes seeing melon blossoms?

I'd say that at the moment about 1 in every five or six guys seem to be shaved 8) Unless, of course, I'm just noticing them more... O0

I easily run out of fingers when I'm counting the sly guys coming through the checkpoint in a days time. I'm going to try a tally one day just to see how many I can put down on paper.

We have a TV commerical that plays often during the Royals baseball games and I always laugh because I can't tell who's who. Seems to be the norm around here for anyone that has started thinning just gets rid of it.

I have been noticing more bald domes showing through though. Not as many Sly guys wearing hats now that it's in the 40's. I was noticing that the ducks and geese start going north when the bald domes start to show lol. You can almost bet that when more heads start showing that the flocks will be going overhead, maybe the two go hand in hand, they both know spring is coming haha.

A few years ago it was fairly common to see high-school and college-age guys shave their heads slick for the summer, but the bald look doesn't seem to be quite as popular with that age group lately. Most of the sly guys I see are guys age 30 and up who are trying to avoid the MPB horseshoe.
