April 18, 2016. Madison, Mississippi. Our Haircuts.

Simple things bring great pleasure to our lives.  Today, our only appointment was a haircut with LeeAnne at 12:30.  We go together as she is quick.  Then we go out for lunch which makes for a special day.

The salon is unusual in that each haircutter works as an independent person, more like a coop in an art shop.  Four people were working.  And they were talking to each other, not to their customers.  Ken and I were fascinated by the conversation, which was all about the published list of pedophiles.   We know nothing about that list but those four ladies gave us a seminar.   They knew a lot more than we did and discussed the fairness and unfairness of the practice and whether or not it has any effect on the population.   The conversation was fascinating.  We just sat like mice, listening to their discussion.  When Ken and I got into the car we looked each other in wonderment, that we had listened into a learned discussion of lists of pedophiles, and it's value to the community.   It was a fascinating discussion by those four hairdressers.

We had driven by the Mug Shot restaurant a hundred times but had never gone in, until today.   The place is really a glorified sport's bar.  In the evenings when we drive by,  the parking lot would be full but today in early afternoon there were few customers.  The food was spicy but good.  Even the french fries were hot and spicy.  Now we know what is there, we will doubtless not go in again but we enjoyed our lunch.   Our day was simple but interesting in a quiet kind of way.
