Tipping the Gal who cuts hair
by Jim_TX inokay... i may act like a hick from a small-town... but... i'm curious about something.. what is the 'proper' amount that one is supposed to 'tip' the gal at the salon.
the one whut cuts the hair.. i've never really had a good idea... and i know that i look like a dufus... fumbling and mumbling... as i hand a dollar or two to the gal.. now... if i'm supposed to be giving something like $5.00... forget it!
i usually hand over 1 or 2 dollars - depending on how well i feel that they did.

Quick - but funny story...
by Jim_TX ini hope that you folks can see the humor in this.... i just got a phone call from a fella named art, that i have sold software to about 5 or 6 years ago.
he worked for a company in el paso, tx.. he was happy with the custom software that i wrote for him, so i never heard from him again.. one time about 5 years ago, i was on travel to a tradeshow in california - and heard this fella in a meeting... his voice sounded familiar - so i asked him if he was art of el paso.
turns out he was, and we talked a bit.

Heeeeeeeeee's baaaaaaaack...
by Jim_TX inwell, as most know... last week i was in italy... texas (i just love the effect that has on some... *grin*).. i got there on monday around 6pm - past their office closing time, but decided to swing by the main office anyway to check out the domes there.
when i drove up, there was already a new dome on-site, and the work crew were rolling up hoses, and pretty much shutting down for the evening.
my heart sunk!

My Trip - Jim_TX
by Jim_TX inwell... as most know, i went out to san jose last tuesday for a whirlwind 'tour' of the western states.. i was to leave san antonio by airplane, and return by van - driving all the way back, running tests on equipment along the way.
(think about the man in the ads, saying "can you hear me now.
" - and you'll be reeeeeeal close.).
