A good friend of mine (since passed away), married a Mexican gal, when she was about 16. She didn't speak English then, and he didn't speak Spanish.

Anyway, she became an American citizen the proper way and has raised five wonderful children. She absolutely detests illegals.

Simple solution to the closed-on-Monday barbershop problem: don't go to a union shop! Easy for me to say, as my barber just retired from semi-retirement. Now he cuts hair at his home, in his utility room, using a small barber chair he got years ago.

Oh, he also rides a 650 Suzuki Bergman and owns a '53 Hudson.
