One of the most consistent things in my life to date is related to my occasionally infrequent haircuts.<\/p>\n<p>The legend is that I&#8217;ve been going to the same barber for more than 40 years. The barbershop is located in Somerset KY in the Tradewind Center. It used to be called <em>Jim&#8217;s Center Barber Shop<\/em>. Now it is <em>Ron &#038; Don&#8217;s Barber Shop<\/em>. Ron &#038; Don both remember me and my dad as customers there before they started working there. That would have been in the mid-to-late 1960s. I only vaguely remember two other places that I&#8217;ve ever had my hair cut&#8230; both before going to Jim&#8217;s\/Ron &#038; Don&#8217;s. Once I started there I&#8217;ve never gone anywhere else. I told the the last time I was there that I might just have to let it grow if they don&#8217;t stay in business as long as I&#8217;m around.<\/p>\n<p>My philosophy on haircuts is to get one when you need one &#8230; and happen to be in Somerset. My first chance in probably 6 or 8 months was the Friday after Thanksgiving of this year. I know I needed on the beginning of October&#8230; and think I did even before that around the beginning of the semester. But I never made it to Somerset &#8230; and my hair just kept growing.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m including BEFORE and AFTER pictures with this post. I&#8217;m not sure that my hair was ever as long as it was in the BEFORE picture. After looking at the pictures I see now I should have worn similar shirts but I think you still get the point.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"imagelink\" title=\"Haircut - Before and After\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thesimsplace.info\/ken.says\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/haircut.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"imagelink\" title=\"Haircut - Before and After\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thesimsplace.info\/ken.says\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/haircut.jpg\"> <\/a><a class=\"imagelink\" title=\"Haircut - Before and After\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thesimsplace.info\/ken.says\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/haircut.jpg\"> <\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><a class=\"imagelink\" title=\"Haircut - Before and After\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thesimsplace.info\/ken.says\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/haircut1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"450\" alt=\"Haircut - Before and After\" id=\"image45\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thesimsplace.info\/ken.says\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/haircut1.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>So, anyway&#8230; if you happen to be in Somerset and go by Ron&#038;Don&#8217;s tell them Ken said &#8220;HEY&#8221; and that he will eventually be back in for another haircut.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Consistency is a good thing in my book.
