Some would say that I've been having a bad hair day since 1965. As you can see from the photo at the top of the blog, that's probably the last time I changed my hairstyle. Well, it worked for me for all those years, but recently I've been feeling a change a-coming on.
I just couldn't stand all that hair anymore so I popped into the Cut & Curl and demanded that Kim do something about it. She washed and snipped and curled and sprayed, and pretty soon I felt like a new woman. When I put my glasses back on I was shocked. It's different that's for sure.
Next, I had to stop over at the Town Hall to see if the public works department could do something about the pothole on Elm Street that's threatening to swallow my car, or at least wreck a tire and snap an axle. Now you got to understand that the Town Hall is just a narrow storefront on Main Street, and it's only open in the mornings when the secretary is in. All the town officials have real jobs, and important meetings are held in the evenings after Mayor C.J. closes up the tractor dealership.
The public works "department" is one-man-and-a-truck, and he's in charge of the water works and the 5 miles of road that's not covered in the county budget. He does what repairs he can and he plows the roads in winter. That's alot of work for Clem Carter - one-man-and-a-truck!
Clem promised to check out the pothole, and the mayor came out of his office. He'd stopped in to sign some papers on his lunch hour and he commented that my haircut was sassy - kind of a Barbie hairdo, to which I replied, "This ain't no Barbie-do, I'd be Barbie's aging, post-menopausal friend.....
MIDGE!

Not to worry Rev. I took literary license there - - the HP is safe in your hands. The camera's not broken, I'm just too lazy to take the pic!!

You can't have the HP back! You'll have to pry it from my cold, dead fingers! ;o)

Welcome back Ruby, new do and all! Sorry to hear that your camera is on the fritz. Glad to hear Clem will be able to keep your ball joint and axle where they are supposed to be.
