Harwood’s Beard

Duane Rasmussen also snapped this photo of former State Representative Dick Harwood, sporting some new facial hair. He relates the story behind the beard.

"Earlier in the day I met Dick Harwood and his wife at the farm store just South of the county fair grounds. He said he was one day out from being a legislator. I noticed Dick's new beard. I asked him about it. He said he was going to grow the beard until Obama got out of office. I looked over at his wife. She cringed and made a face.

Apparently Dick's brother swore to not cut his hair until Obama got out of office but that was the first time around and now his hair is way too long and the poor guy has another four years to go."
 
In related news: While enjoying Thanksgiving dinner at my brother's home in North Spokane my son noticed his neighbor's flag was upside down. My brother said apparently, his neighbor was protesting Obama's re-election.
 
Are you doing anything to protest/celebrate Obama's re-election?
