Well according to the woman that cuts my hair: She has a hard time finding any that aren't grey to trim.

Plus I just retired as of 1 Jan 14, so I know I'm old !!!!!!! :-}

My wife keeps telling me that my hair keeps getting grayer but I tell her that I know where every single gray hair is and how it got there.

Yep I earned every single strand of it.

Thankfully I still have lots of it and am growing it long this winter. I have lots of outside construction work to get done before spring tourist season hits.

Longest my hair has been since the 70's , not quite to ponytail length yet.

According to the KC Local news, Johnson County Med-Act covering Johnson County Kansas is the first in the area to go away from Long Spine Boards moving them into the 21st century. Good on them.

they have always been a very forward thinking system, I worked for them for a short stint before I realized that my practice style didn't fit into their's so I left and went back to rural EMS. But I am very proud that they have taken this step.
