Hmmm, I take there are no mirrors in Kentucky (or at least that part) as he seems to have a chinwig. Or a possum is adhered to his face.
That's all he could grow in the year since the incidnent, Before, his beard was
epic, which is why he did not allow pictures to be taken until he had grown enough back to avoid being ridiculed. [yeah, right!]
BTW - possums tend towards the grey/gray part of the rainbow, so that thing under his mouth would have to be dyed/died to be a possum. More likely it's the neighbor's kitteh.
stay safe.
