The allergist I went to in the late 1990s actually suggested I dress like the guy in the comic.

   Me too. You can’t write notes to yourself on a phone. At least not in the calendar app.

   The thing on his head is called a head mirror. When in use it is positioned over one eye and allows the doctor to see into ears, nose or other body cavities better. Doctors used them when I was young but you don’t see them much anymore.

    So my son and I were watching an old TV show and one of the props was obviously made of paper mache and it got me to wondering, can that be made without newsprint?
