I Shaved My Head Again

Well, I have a reason to do so.  It's not political or anything...

When Covid started spreading in 2020, those "Good Old Boys" in the barbershop not only refused to wear masks, they criticized me for doing so.  One said it wasn't "real".  Another said he was a professional in pharnaceuticlas and all I needed was Vitamin C and Zinc.  Real idiots.

I actually pay attention to real science and discussed it briefly.

But I was there for a haircut.  And admittedly, you can't get your hair cut wearing a mask.  So I took off my N-95 mask and got the haircut.  In 2020.

I haven't been back to a barber since.  The next time I needed a haircut, I bought a "barber kit".   Those things with different depth attachable combs to chose how closely you can cut your hair.  I shaved my head clean.  

Now, everytime I start to feel I have to brush it, I just shave it all off again.  It doesn't bother me to do that.  And in fact it just makes life easier.  I tend to wear baseball-style caps when shopping anyway.

Frankly, not having to smell the hairspray, and the chemicals for permanents, or listen to the gossipers, is even better than saving the money!

A Day Late

But I wanted to remember a sad day. I remember some parts.  I was only 13.  I saw a lot on TV afterwards.  But my most specific image is the...
