real hippies have hair

              

In my youth, any one with facial hair, or long hair was in an old movie or in a history book.  We were taught admiration for all the founding fathers (and JESUS), but the hair thing was not allowed in my town.

I never needed to shave until I was 22.  I am amazed that now it is common at 14.  I suspect that is due to all the steroids we use to grow chickens and beef being passed along in the food chain.

Actually, I was already going bald before I  could grow whiskers. 
These days, I can proudly say I have as much hair as I never did.
I do have whiskers from time to time.  My bride always asks if I am growing a beard. "No, not growing a beard" - I just find it is better to shave only twice a year.  Plus, it makes it harder for people to put me into a peg hole.

Above is Gabby Hayes.  He played an old whiskered guy for a hundred years because he started when he was 30.  At 30, I could not even grow decent sideburns.
The moral of this post is don't blog and drink.
