well, i thought blue rinse was a bit off too.. its "blue haired" ladies, who are definately older than "ladies of a certain age"* (who are most definately older than me!)

Wednesday traffic is always the worst, since the city is filled with blue haired ladies in for a broadway matinee.

and as to Dr. bills question...since mercury oxide is cinnabar, should we color you red? or yellow, since there is an other mercury oxide compount that is yellow.. the second is used 3 places that i know of, one for an antibotic eye ointment, (no longer available in US) and for paint pigment, especially a rust inhibiting undercoat, or as artist colors..

(but the real question is, why would we want to color Maverick stupid? )

*and is ladies (or a woman) of a certain age used else where? its a fairly common phrase in NY.


my other obsession
