And using the pickup truck so naturally there is possible rain in the forecast… along with heat and humidity.\u00a0\u00a0 Although I have to say, much less heat than last week.\u00a0\u00a0 We also got local light and heavy rain.\u00a0 At my storage unit I got soaked.\u00a0 At my barber, we didn’t get any rain at all, and they are less than a mile apart.\u00a0 Weird Houston weather.<\/p>\n
Drove around and did pickups, then stopped at my barber for a cut before my show.\u00a0 It’s been a while, and I got used to cutting my own hair.\u00a0\u00a0 I’ve been going to the same guy for about 18 years so we usually have a good chat.\u00a0 Over that time, his price for\u00a0 a clipper cut went from $12 to $15 to $20.\u00a0 As the neighborhood has gentrified, his rent has increased dramatically too.<\/p>\n
Everyone I talked with yesterday had high prices and increased violent crime on their mind.\u00a0\u00a0 One lady wants Trump to win re-election and do something about it, with the comment “our current president sure isn’t.”\u00a0 As a side note, almost all of the people I talked to were Hispanic, none were reactionary old white men.<\/p>\n
Something else that I’ve been noticing and has been bugging me…\u00a0\u00a0 the current world is DRAB, and becoming drabber.\u00a0\u00a0 I think it’s a reflection of the zeitgeist.\u00a0 One whole parking lot, no brightly colored cars.\u00a0 Only black, silver, white, grey, the occasional older dark red, or champagne color.\u00a0\u00a0 Driving on the expressway, ONE colored car, a blue Extera that was an obvious repaint.\u00a0\u00a0 The pickup line for elementary school, not one bright color.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The natural colored brick houses in my neighborhood are being painted white, grey, and black when they are flipped.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 There is a whole development across from my daughter’s old school that is black and dark green.\u00a0\u00a0 Other new housing all over town is almost universally white, grey, black, or a combination.\u00a0\u00a0 Once you see it, you see it everywhere.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If the colors people are buying reflect the mood, we’re in a world of hurt.<\/p>\n
Don’t get caught short.\u00a0 Stack it high.<\/p>\n
