Interesting story and yes you are a good writer for sure.



Here is my story; when I was a kid dad cut my hair and it always was a butch. When Elvis and the Beatles became famous all of the guys hair got longer to impersonate those singers long mops except for me. I wanted to grow the hair longer but dad dictated that I had to have a butch. When I got a little older and could drive myself to town I started going to a barber who would cut the hair longer. I swore I would never have a butch again. The hair length code in school stated no hair could touch the ears on a guy so the hair still wasnt all that long though.



Fast forward about 30 years to the late 90s and the wheat harvest days. I had a busy spring trying to get the crops planted. At the time I was using a 6 row planter on 600 acres. The hair was getting a little shaggy but I just didnt have time for a haircut. The day after I finished planting I had to leave for Oklahoma for the harvest. Oklahoma was hot and the hair was long but we ran almost all day and night and there was no time for a haircut. By mid-June we finished Oklahoma, the next stop was Mineola Kansas. We were staying in a motel in Dodge City. The family we were cutting wheat for did not work on Sundays so we finally had a day off on a Sunday. The hair was as long as it had ever been and the weather was hot so I went to the Walmart salon and told the lady I wanted a butch! Short as you can cut it! This long hair was hot and I was tired of it. After the shear job I couldn't look at myself in the mirror for days but I could now feel the breeze on my head and besides, it was low maintenance. I never had the hair cut that short again and I probably never will but at that time the butch felt so good in the Kansas heat. Now I have it cut so it is barely long enough to be combed. Its getting thin enough now so I can feel the breeze up there no matter how long the hair is. I even have to wear a cap not to keep from getting a sunburn up on top.
