Hairdressers, I know where you can stay busy.

I live in a little county in E Texas with about 8,000 people. There is one barbershop in town and one beauty shop in my town of 1,400.

The folks at the beauty shop said it would take a month to get an appt for a simple haircut. I go to the barber lady for my $12 special.

The whole region is dead because of walmart, but this seems to be the only business where there is a demand and not enough people supplying the service.
