"Cabbage: a familiar kitchen-garden vegetable about as large and wise as a man's head." - Ambrose Bierce

Another Facebook grab

I went to Home Depot to buy bullet connectors for the truck's wiring. They're nothing fancy, just male and female ends with the former looking slightly like a very small bullet. OK, it looks more like something else, but from a marketing standpoint that wouldn't work so well.
They sell the male end connectors in a separate package from the female end. Why??
And how do they have no packages of female ends but five of the male ends? Who's buying one and not the other?!

I got the turn signal switch wired in. That doesn't sound like much except that someone had clipped the wires at the switch end and tossed the connector, so I had to make a new harness. That meant the wires wouldn't fit inside the steering column as designed, so I had to create a new routing method and then make the connections up under the dash. All of that to say it took me about three hours including the trip to Home Depot.

I normally get a haircut at Super Cuts, the tonsorial equivalent of Jiffy Lube. It's quick, easy, and until GQ calls it does the job. When you start out with this there isn't a lot of point in being picky.
Usually.
Last time Eileen, new to this shop, cut my hair, and it took copious amounts of gel to get rid of the rooster look. Yeah, I've got cowlicks on the crown of my head and cutting it too short leads to, "What was he thinking?" It says on their computer screen I get a #4 on the sides and leave the crown a little long. Eileen missed that part.

So when I walked in this morning after the Home Depot stop I saw two people cutting hair, one of them Eileen. I decided those weren't good odds, and the three old ladies waiting (I figured dye jobs) made it easy to turn around and walk out.

This afternoon I went to a barber shop, something I haven't done in at least two, maybe three decades.
Oh my.
Not only did he not use a blade guard, #4 or otherwise, he used a straight razor with warm shaving cream on my neck and sideburns, put good smelling stuff on my skin, and then used this wonderful electric vibrator thing on my shoulders.
Two dollars more and well worth it!
To quote Arnold, "I'll be back!"
Oh, and we talked sports, too.

That quote up there...
You may remember that 10 or 15 years ago Germany's chancellor was a man named Helmut Kohl. The German word for cabbage is kohl, which is why we call it cole slaw.
Yeah, the guy's name was Cabbage Head.
