  4. To each their own. I do prefer a shower & a good ole hair wash. There are lots of micro creepy crawlers out there. Especially if you are out in the yard and in the bushes. Spiders and snakes could be in there? Interesting post.

  5. Interesting photos Herman.

I must say that the woman photographed would have a difficult time with the combing process.
