For those of you who have never been to Aberdeen, and I assume that is most, let me explain something about the city. Aberdeen is the third largest city in Scotland boasting about 200,000 people. For the benefit of those people, there has to be at least 10,000 hair-dressers in town.

It is truly one of the oddest things I have ever seen. At one corner we were less than 100 feet from 6 hair places....6! It seems that there is something in the water that effects people who want to open new stores - and they feel an uncontainable urge that it must be a hair-salon of some kind.

For sake of space, and because I have no pictures today (and I know how you get when there isn't a picture), I will tell you about my two favorite hair places thus far. The first on is great because it is called "A Cut Above", and it is actually on the second story of a building - directly above another hair salon. I kid you not.

My absolute favorite is called Gents, and they have a large sign that says, "For Men Only" that is out front. At first glace, this seems really smart - let all of the other places deal with the woman, but try to dominate the nich market which would really bring in more customers, just less frequently. But upon close look, particularly when you look inside - you will usually see the following: 4 women, three of which work there and one of which is getting her hair done - all desperately looking out the window for a real man to come in. Behind this business model is a desperate ploy for a man....beautiful.

Anyway, that is all. It is a slow day, which is nice.
