Chronicle
Friday, June 5, 4:30 PM: Hairball is noticed in passing by resident. It sits on the curb outside of the south wall of residence. Resident is leaving for an appointment and does not stop to investigate.
Saturday, June 6, 2 PM: Resident brings hairball to the attention of other resident plus two passengers as they drive past hairball on their way to another appointment. The hairball remains near the curb and the car party resolve to investigate later.
Same date, 5:30 PM: Using a stick, resident removes the hairball from the curb and shows it to other members of her party. It is composed of long strands of dark hair but is not full enough to constitute a wig. It is posited that it is perhaps a hair extension. Resident, preferring that the hairball not be near her house, tosses it across the street onto the opposite curb.
Sunday, June 6: The hairball has somehow moved to the middle of the street, where it grows increasingly filthy and dilapidated. It's status is documented by resident.
Monday, June 7, 1:30 PM: Hairball appears to be gone. It was either removed by well-meaning neighbors, washed away in the rain or spirited away by fashion-seeking crows. It's origins and meaning remain unclear. Hairball, we hardly knew thee.
