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.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
