I decided to pause the DVD for disc 1 of the 1991 short-lived television series "Golden Years" to make a comment because the dialog has reminded me of something from about the past twelve hours ago. About ten or twelve hours ago, I can recall, I took extra notice when I was looking in the mirror in the bathroom at the hair on the top of my head. I remember that now because that is something I don't do anymore. I haven't had to purchase shampoo in more than a decade. Today, though, or yesterday really, I was looking for about five or ten seconds or so at the hair sprouting from the top of my head and I was wondering if there was more there than before. I did the same thing a while back but I don't recall when precisely. There have only been maybe two times in the past year, I guess, I have done that. I can recall one time when I was thinking about the rejuvenating effects of time travel that I did consider the possibility that my hair on my head would start to regrow. I have thought about how that would make sense when I start time traveling backwards in time because of some reason I do not now recall fully that I thought through at the time.
So anyway, the dialog has explained that the experiment that went horribly wrong had a cover story of being an experiment to rejuvenate wounds that soldiers endure in combat and there has been several instances of dialog about the appearance of scars and there has been some dialog about how one of the lab workers that was killed had scars that disappeared before he died from the effects of the exploding lab.
I found myself wanting to make this note because of how I had in the past day been studying for a few seconds the hair on the top of my head and the dialog I am watching now is about how the janitor who survived the explosion has noticed that color is returning to his hair. I am thinking again that I am encountering time traveler effects and that I knew about a half-day ago that I would now at this be making this observation. The counter-paradox effect that I have defined is what caused those thoughts to occur in my mind a half-day ago. If I had not had those thoughts in my mind then I would not have been able to write these observations here now. I would have still been watching the DVD video but the only reason I paused the video now - *the only reason* - is because of those brief seconds a half-day ago when I was looking in the mirror and wondering if there are more hairs on the top of my head than before. I almost never check for the possibility so I have no idea if there are more or not.
