Not really in Baja, but we were talking about it!


I got a haircut the other day and was talking with my barber about Baja experiences. It occurred to me that one or two fellow Nomads may find our history interesting.

I have known Sammy since the mid 1950s because we lived near each other. I rode the bus to grade school with his brother, and he rode the high school bus with my sister.

In the early 60s I used the barber shop he worked in....sometimes he cut my hair, or the shop owner did, whoever had the first empty chair. From 1966 on I was living in other places, but my dad still used that shop.

By the turn of the century my dad was starting to need more help, so When I was in California I started using Sammy's services again. With both of our lifetime histories in a small town there is always something besides politics to talk about!

It seems incredible to me that he is still cutting hair at 81 years old!

Edit; Our Baja conversation was about the healthful side of spending part of the winter there rather than the one we just went through in Grass Vally.

If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!
