I just went to Google Images, clicked on the camera icon to search by image, and uploaded a photo of myself. It didn’t find any other online pictures of me. But, It returned pictures that it called “Similar images”. Of the first five, there was a picture of Bernie Sanders, and a picture of Vladimir Putin. Which I thought was at least funny, if not instructive. Hair style is pretty obviously not one of the search criteria. Who do you look like? ---

“Best guess for this image: _ **person** _” Well that’s something, I guess. ---

I’ve been told I look like John Denver. When he was alive, that is. ---

That was fun. The outcome is _very_ different depending on which picture I use. I got the words "person"with one picture, with a lot of female politicians, and "blond"with another with a lot of blonde actresses. ---

I’ve been mistaken for Stephen King. (One guy at a restaurant asked if I was King. Later, I overheard him telling his friend, “You know, he writes those scary-ass books.”) As I’ve grown older, I’ve come more to resemble the Hans Holbein portraits of King Henry the Eighth. (I am, I am.) ---

Anthony Perkins, of Psycho fame, according to a couple of people. I do agree, as I have those dashing yet smirking and slightly chinless looks. Will try that Google thing to verify… ---

I used to look like [this](https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/c6/57/6e/c6576efa3c12c04e2d59208456f69a87.jpg) lady. Note that the receding hair line was a ‘thing’ at some point in beauty history. I’ve had the advantage of chin job, nose job, brow lift, and some stuff done to my eyelids. If she’s a 5, I’m now a 7. And worth every penny ---

Ina full-length picture, I look like “clothing,” and the similar images are of people wearing clothing. In a close-up, I look like “glasses,” and the similar images are of people wearing…you guessed it, glasses. ---

I tried it again, uploading a different photo. It now shows an assortment of individuals who’ve utilized Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law . . . followed by the Dalai Lama. None of whom resemble me or each other. ---
