Please tell Matt to grow some hair on that head; I like my policemen to look like they need to own a comb. <br /><br />Nothing excessive like those greasy-headed Germans with their Brylcreem and Vitalis whom we stacked up cold and dead like cordwood in the 1940s, please!<br /><br /> I am just asking for normal, old-fashioned, Standard American haircuts.<br /><br />A man's hair should be long enough that he needs to own a comb, and short enough that he can dry it with a towel after stepping out of the shower, without needing to own a blow-dryer.<br /><br />Teh Wimminz can grow their hair as long as they like, as far as I'm concerned. I mind a gal I was sweet on in high school, whose hair was so long she could sit on it. She managed to braid it and roll it up into her shako when we attended football games and did halftime shows.Justthisguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17277333206171756636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-29447244307934073902011-10-10T04:03:24.870-04:002011-10-10T04:03:24.870-04:00Yeah, after growing up in Michigan and spending mu...Yeah, after growing up in Michigan and spending much of my adult life in (western) Washington, I found the "miles and miles of nothing but miles and miles" east of Ft Carson, CO, to be disturbing. As noted, "nowhere to run, nowhere to hide." Disturbing, even if I did know, intellectually, that the terrain was uneven enough to have folds and gullies and the like to hide in.<br /><br />Of course, the terrain to the west was disappointing, too; Pike's Peak is only a couple of hundred feet shorter than Mt Rainier, but the former is usually brown even in dead of winter, but Rainier is snow-capped year-'round.Dranghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08082177597135236652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-55426736407235452142011-10-10T00:16:01.802-04:002011-10-10T00:16:01.802-04:00We used to say "Turn around three times, and ...We used to say "Turn around three times, and you're lost!"Don Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06057058763094040058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-32404723405264053732011-10-09T22:03:29.905-04:002011-10-09T22:03:29.905-04:00Job interviewing in the midwest and northmidwest, ...Job interviewing in the midwest and northmidwest, I found good reason to move to North Carolina instead- a horizon I didn't feel like slashing my wrists on.Vaaroknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-73189806635175695282011-10-09T15:15:05.179-04:002011-10-09T15:15:05.179-04:00When I moved to Texas from North Carolina, I had s...When I moved to Texas from North Carolina, I had strangely claustrophobic feelings on cloudy days, because <i>the clouds were too darn low.</i><br /><br />Hopefully you can experience that for yourself whilst out in the bestr approximation of Flatland that exists on this earth.Mikeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-57381525461607144302011-10-09T13:10:41.005-04:002011-10-09T13:10:41.005-04:00Looks like home sweet home.
