\u201cEvery time I turn my back, someone steals my\u00a0icecubes!\u201d<\/p><\/div>I have been my own barber for the past year, and I don’t see that changing. My hair looks like hell \u2013 but I never cared, anyway. Except for dating and job interviews, grooming is more about effort than outcome. And while I resent all of the custodial functions of the body as time-wasters, hair growth is at least passive in its constant incursions.<\/p>\n

Whatever. I think I may never go back to the quick-\u2019n\u2019-dirty stylist at the strip mall ever again. Here’s why: Even though the people behind the virus may turn out to be wholesale genocidal maniacs, I learned things from them about how to avoid getting sick.<\/p>\n

I’m talking easy stuff, which Fauci and the CDC mainly lied about: Sunlight, D3, zinc, C \u2013 anti-every-viral, and as easy as having breakfast on the patio, at least if you live in Arizona. We were already doing all of that, and I have been a fanatical hand-washer since my school days handling caustic photo chemicals. Even maintaining distance was not news, but managing it as a consistent praxis was.<\/p>\n

I don’t work with buyers right now \u2013 but, mea culpa,<\/em> I have worked with sick buyers, and, worse, worked sick with buyers \u2013 and it is easy for me to keep my distance selling and leasing. Eliminating most daily direct social contact has been easy, and it promises to get even easier.<\/p>\n

Hence, no more Great Clips for me. Doctors and dentists cannot be avoided, but hair stylists who breathe right into my face will continue to live without my money, perhaps forever. I have professional-quality calipers, amateur-quality zeal and a quiet pride in saving both my time and my money \u2013 while saving my own life.<\/p>\n
