When I first moved into this place I don't know how many years ago I was pleased to find there as a barber just across the street. A little hole in the wall surrounded by Hispanic businesses IE stores shops and such and there was Mila's place. She spoke very little English but enough that we could get by readily. The best part was that she only charged $7 to cut my hair. This initially sounded like a lot but when I started checking out some of the other places around the area I found out this was a real deal almost half what other barbershops were charging for the same amount of work. I think I even talked about her at one time in the blogs about the fact that she was the soul owner of the barbershop but she actually rented space in the back for a number of Latino hair Craftsman's. These guys are the ones that do the intricate haircuts on other Latino most men. There was a lot of Razor Cuts and all kinds of cuts that kind of astounded me and I think they were actually charging big bucks to these people who are getting the haircuts and of course they are all paying my love because it was her project and her shop and I don't think any of them had licenses to cut hair let alone documentation of citiz citizenship in the area. Now however I made a call this morning to see if Milo was going to be open today enemas disheartened to find that she was not open in fact she was feeling sort of ill and didn't know when she would be back into her little shop. I know this doesn't really sound like it's very dramatic but I think it really does mask something that might be worse and long-term if not final. I hope she gets over what she's battling with quickly and can get back to cutting my hair and those others I think that might depend on her. In the meantime that means I have to Shag out some other Barber type person in the area and maybe even have to look at increasing the the cost of the haircut now. With Myla I could just use a $10 bill to cover everything even with her tip and such and she always seems to be totally excited by my bigger tip .
It's Saturday night and I'm sort of killing time until the basketball game tips off around 7:30 p.m.. the Utah Jazz lost the last game a few days ago and now they're at it again. I hope to support these guys and enjoy a little bit of the game. I have to admit the game on Thursday night was pretty close they only won by two points but it's still quite frustrating to see my team losing such easy shots which I thought were the case but actually these guys are actually very tired by the time the third quarter gets around. I should not charge them so harshly. I've got all kinds of crackers tonight and I mixed up some nice sweet tasting water to drink while I watch the game. Starting kind of late but that's not bad I'm not sure if we'll do breakfast in the morning Mark Anthony is not got back from his European trip yet. Maybe tonight but I don't think he'd be up to doing anything in the morning and I haven't heard back from my granddaughter either way I think it'll be a nice Sunday except for the precipitation
