It is not evolution, but the destructive effect of UV radiation that
are at work in Arizona.

Most Arizonians start out almost as cute as lovely Miss. Thompson, but
their proximity to the sun takes a terrible toll. Don't believe me?
Look at this five year old photo of our own Mr. Thompson that my
Internet sleuthing turned up.

Quite right. The features in these apocryphal photos of ol' Jim lack
the simian charteristics of the real thing.

I would reserve 'ugly' for those unfortunate enough to have a
pathological condition that produces an immediate, unavoidable frisson
on seeing them. And I would never use that word, even in that context,
anyway.

I tend to reserve "ugly" for personality defects that are within the
control of the person. Physical beauty is secondary. Oh, and I had to
look up "frisson". Thanks.

No, they are garters. Back in the early 1900s, before elasticated

Well, I didn't save the attached pictures. The christmas tree was on
the right hand side of the picture. I vagely remember a person wearing
suspenders, not wearing a jacket, not wearing a tie, and somewhat turned
to the right, holding a glass. Not bold, reasonable amount of white hair.
Perhaps your wife took the picture.

Then there is a chance you might have been captured in a reflection in
one of the ornaments in the tree.
