      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&#34;Calvin &amp;amp; Hobbes Salon&#34; loading=&#34;lazy&#34; src=&#34;https://www.s-anand.net/blog/assets/calvin-and-hobbes-salon-pune.webp&#34;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is the Calvin &amp;amp; Hobbes Hair Salon in Hinjewadi, Pune.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Calvin &amp;amp; Hobbes fans might remember Calvin&#39;s hairdresser, Pete, who certainly &#34;knows which side HIS bread is buttered on.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maybe I too will go get &#34;the top of my head shaved, and the sides dyed pink and cut in horizontal stripes&#34; 😉&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The signboard has a Tirupathi Namam drawn over the names of two &lt;a href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Calvin&#34;&gt;famous&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Hobbes&#34;&gt;theologians&lt;/a&gt; -- both of whom had great hair. That&#39;s a lot of hidden connections!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was thrilled to see that it&#39;s not the only Calvin &amp;amp; Hobbes salon in India. &lt;a href=&#34;https://goo.gl/maps/BkVG7M2UQkMZUVZq7&#34;&gt;Google Maps shows almost a dozen&lt;/a&gt;! 😲&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;http://www.geocities.com/ussmunchkin/ScriptIndex.htm&#34;&gt;Star Trek scripts&lt;/a&gt;. All 10 of them. Makes me nostalgic. (Please don&amp;rsquo;t overload the site: it&amp;rsquo;s hosted on Geocities and has exceeded its transfer limit.)&lt;/p&gt;
