Nothing says freedom in the USA like a nice Three Wheeler Motorcycle.
Vroom Vroom!
Super fun and a perhaps little more stability for your butt.
If the air is clear and the road empty, you can let the wind blow through your hair and the whole world go by.
F*** everything!
Life was made for living. 😉

This woman had the longest hair I have ever seen.
No, not to the shoulders, not to the mid-back, not even to the tush.
This went almost all the way to the floor.
It reminded me more of a maim on a horse than of the typical hairdo of a person.
Anyway, this must be nasty to take care and keep clean.
Also, can’t imagine having that much hair pulling on my head all the time.
In Judaism, we say that hair is the crown of a person and it is something that especially women keep modestly when married.
So while hair is nice and beautiful, you can definitely have too much of even a good thing. 😉

So recently I started cutting my own hair.
Uh, yes!
Not sure what made me actually do this…
But it just seemed like I was wasting money at the Hair Cuttery on something that I could do myself.
Also, I remember fondly how my dad used to cut his own hair for decades.
So I gave it a try–that’s not me in the picture!
I purchased a simple Wahl clipper and went at it.
First a little tentatively and then more boldly as I got the hang of it.
The best part of the clipper is the color-coded guide combs so I don’t completely screw this up.
What I also like is that ability to give myself a little trim whenever I want.
Don’t have to wait to get to the barber or to wait on line there.
So far so good, thank G-d–no big hair disasters.
And frankly, I look a lot happier than the guy in this photo. 😉

I saw these ladies crossing the street in downtown DC.
The standout here was obviously the hair!
The girl on the left had Barbie pink hair.
The one on the right had blond dyed hair with the roots showing.
And the lady in the middle had two-tone hair, with brown on one side and blond on the other (now that was really different).
This reminded me of the hippies’ hairstyle in terms of the perhaps rebellious nature of the style.
In Judaism, I remember learning that hair is like the crown on a person’s head, and for modesty, the custom is for married women to cover their beautiful hair–it is only something that gets shown/shared with her husband as part of their intimacy.
Hair can say a lot, especially if you are fortunate enough to still have some (lol).
It can be uncombed and messy like a mad professor’s, finely brushed and cared for like Trump’s, or even transplanted to cover the onset of unwanted bald spots.
Like a horse’s or lion’s mane, hair frame’s a person and can make the plain or even unsightly, more attractive and desirable; at the same time, if not properly cared for and groomed, it can make a person look disheveled and even crazy.
Of course, hair is just what tops off the person and is only skin deep, so looks (including hair) can be defining or oh, so deceiving.
Hair or hairless, groomed or gross–it’s a reflection and a statement of how we’re looking to each other. 😉

No offense intended, but not going to miss this lady in a crowd.
Orange-hot pink hair, a zebra shirt, big black-rimmed glasses, and a wild bag with dozens of pins all over it.
It was also funny that the sign over her head says, “Orange” to match this lady’s hair.
My childhood friends would probably call this a “Hair Don’t” like a hairdo, only don’t do it!
Sometimes, you have to wonder what people are thinking.
It’s nice to get attention, if it’s attention worth getting. 😉

I took this photo yesterday of a mannequin that shows off her hair.
It’s amazing what hair does for a person.
I remember learning in Yeshiva that hair is considered the crown on a person’s head.
People go through all sorts of time and expense to keep their hair, grow it out, clean it, and style it.
Often not having hair means that person is sick and on heavy doses of medication or chemotherapy that makes their hair fall out.
People put on wigs or other head coverings for religious piety, modesty, and to consecrate themselves to G-d and/or their beloved–so that only they should see it–as something special between them.
Sometimes, a person’s hair is cut off to dehumanize them like the Nazi’s did to the Jews and as happens to other prisoners.
Also, when people go to the military, they are given a crew cut to take away their hair and individuality while they learn to conform and be obedient to their chain of command.
Often in fights, people grab and pull a person by their hair to control and hurt them.
But mostly, hair is soft, sensual and looks good on a person (except when it doesn’t)–generally, it evokes youth, vibrance, freedom, and sexuality.
Of course beauty is only skin deep, but the hair is truly the majestic crown that G-d gave us. 😉

I’m been wanting to post this gallery photo for a while now.
I think this is a great expression of the beauty that some women possess.
The hair, eyes, lips, shape of the face…G-d is a terrific creator!
This makes me think of the song by the Commodores, Lady You Bring Me Up When I Am Down.
BTW, my wife is even more gorgeous (true)! 😉

This lady in line at Starbucks apparently likes purple, a lot.
