Yesterday afternoon

The weather having turned sharply cold again, yesterday afternoon I was able to walk on the frozen river and take some pictures of fallen trees I can't normally approach.



Mild weather then freezing has glazed the surface of the snow. It records hundreds of park visitations, human and canine.

It had to be done

Tomorrow I want to take a resume to Royal City Nursery. Regardless of what people have said about my beard, I didn't feel confident job hunting with it so bushy. Confidence is essential. Part of the problem is I refuse to wear a tie, so some compensation must be made for neatness. Besides I needed a haircut.

My old Remington beard trimmer died last summer. Today I went to Sears and bought a Wahl clipper so I can look after my own hair from now on. I couldn't afford it right now, but on the other hand it saved me a $20 visit to the barber.

It's the same as my last haircut, which I did myself for the first time using Danny's clipper in November, except the goatee is getting longer. When my daughters saw the last cut they thought it was cool.

"You look like one of those bikers," Marian declared.

I wonder if she had any idea what a trip that gave me.



Wanna see more?
