Today was haircutting day for both Keith and me. He has paved his topknot and put in a parking lot, but once a week I still trim around the edges on his lot. I’ve been cutting his hair for almost twenty years now. Here is a convenient truth: When he had darker and much more hair, I had better eyesight, as well as more patience to make sharp lines around the nape of his neck and all the other edges. Now that his hair is thinner and grayer, I can still cut a mean haircut. You just can’t see all my mistakes anymore.
Now Keith doesn’t do the same for my hair. Praise God. I go to Amber. She has a sweet little salon in Yucca Valley. Her daughter has recently graduated from beauty school and is now working with Amber in her salon. I should have taken a before and after picture, but I wasn’t thinking of my Slice of Life when I was there.
Anyway, here are a few other photos from my day.
Drew Oliver Built the First Wind Turbine Here
What would Drew Oliver think
If he could see all the windmills
Now filling the San Gorgonio Pass?
Did he know his idea would take off?
Turn back the calendar 100 years and turn
Up the wind. It squeezes through two mountain
Ranges. Oliver knew that, and he tried to harness it by
Building a windmill
In 1926.
Now the almost 1000 turbines make clean
Energy–hundreds of millions of watts.
