Cutting Blades, Dull Talk

This morning there was a gorgeous double rainbow that was hovering over SH 114. It was there all the way out to the Work Ranch before finally getting swallowed up by a deluge.

I took the picture above, hoping to capture some of it, but all I had was my extremely awful phone. The phone's camera takes terrible pictures, and the battery barely holds a charge. I so need to buy a new phone. Anything coming out soon?

As far as weather goes around here, it seems we can't go a few days without it raining. After last year's talk about the drought, this year it's raining buckets and flooding the town like I still lived in Houston. Al the lakes they said were down have filled up, and all the wetlands are wet again.

I blame El Nino. That kid causes all the weather problems.

Otherwise, after failing to get it done over the weekend, I finally did get my haircut - at the mall. Yes, if Supercuts wasn't bad enough, there's always the el cheapo mall haircut. It wasn't even that cheap, actually.

The stylist really made me wish I had our ADD bear cutting again. At least he's fun to listen to and flirt with. this guy, he could cut hair, but he kept going on and on trying to tell jokes. Here's a sample: "Why did OJ Simpson want to move to Arkansas? He heard they all have the same DNA." Theses are jokes they wouldn't let you tell on Death Row.

I've had a lot of different haircutters, most of them are good about talking, or better yet, not talking. Personally, I'm not there to chat. If I had a regular stylist, yes, I could see striking up more of a conversation, but when I don't know you, and I'm just looking for a haircut, I don't need your open mike routine.

Since I go to cheap places for haircuts, most of the staff revolves quickly, so you rarely get the same person. it would be nice to have a regular stylist. I think the one I had for the longest time was Ms. Mixon, who worked at the barbershop in Conroe. No frills, that one. Still, she retired after a couple of years when we moved there, and then it was on to any and every cutter in the Supercuts universe.

I've paid over $30 for a haircut once, and I was so upset that the stylist wouldn't actually listen to me, that I decided I didn't need to go there again. I don't think for $30 you're really giving away your rights as a customer.

My hairstyle is simple, and rarely changes, and I like it like that.
