The resulting mustache wouldn't be white in that case, but rather clear and smokey.

Just out of curiosity, how could hair be both clear and smoky at the same time?

Ever see smokey quartz?  At least that is what scotch brought to mind.

What are you doing?
Are you taking any medications?
Don't do that.

Well, enough scotch and any thought is possible.

I don't quite get that, either.
You can get "smokey" film to shield your eyes from the sun, goes across the top of the windshield. The film  is smokey and clear.

OOHHH!  Sorry, I missed that entirely.  And thanks to Baruch too.  I just never used that, so it went RIGHT (or Left) over my head...

It's pretty far South. The gulf is within driving distance. But yes, Texas is a lot bigger than people tend to think. I once drove twelve hours on vacation and was still in Texas.
I hitched rides across Texas, so I know just how big it is! I like East Texas a lot, but the west is so dry it gets boring really quickly. When I was a kid we went on a canoe trip 600 miles down the Sabine river. That was a lot easier (and more fun) than cadging rides.

I vited Ft Worth on business once and asked where the cactus were.  Oh man I was so embarrassed to learn they were 200 miles away.  That was like mistaking Washington DC for NYC.  My hosts were kind...

My longest hitchhike is Indianapolis/San Francisco/Indianapolis without stopping anywhere for the night.

At least we're not talking about the MCU.
