here is the evolution of my scottish holiday beard over a 2 week period.

i was thinking of doing a post along the lines of 'why growing a beard is like global warming'

growing a beard is like global warming because if you don't do anything about it it'll get worse

growing a beard is like global warming because just admitting that there's an ugly problem staring you in the face isn't enough to solve the problem

growing a beard is like global warming because your own actions have a negative effect on other people

growing a beard is like global warming because it makes you all hot, itchy, scratchy and a bit stinky.

can you think of any of (better) reasons ?

(this last picture was taken in the evening after 2 long days of driving in a post-holiday traumatic state. the beard was removed shortly after)
