When I see Joe Biden on TV, I am amazed how good his hair plugs look. Especially from the front, it is impossible to tell he is bald. From the side it is easier but it still doesn’t look bad. In person I have only seen one person with hair plugs that I know of and it looked horrible. I know from personal experience that the vast majority of people on tv look a whole lot better than they do in real life. Is this the case for Biden? Do his hair plugs look good in person, or is it just on tv. ---

I can’t help you with the hair plugs, as I wouldn’t know one if I tripped over it, but bumping the thread might get you an answer. I _did_ meet Joe Biden once, though. I sat next to him on a Maryland commuter train many years ago. I had never heard of him and didn’t know who he was until we exchanged pleasantries. He was going home to Wilmington, Delaware, but it never occurred to me to ask why he was on a Md. commuter train and not Amtrak(the train started at Union Station in DC, but stopped well short of Delaware). His hair looked normal, but this was around 1980, so it was probably some time before he needed hair plugs:) ---

Why didn’t you post this sooner? He ate at a restaurant across the street once. I coulda run over and took a gander for you ---
