I have had one haircut in 1980 I was in my house fire so had to get a haircut as hair frissled, and last year singed over a 8" from my beard over a cooker lolol so this is what I have left along with my beads and kaftan still.Im oldest hippy in my area.

ROAD DOG...nah...I wasn't that fortunate . It would have added a lot more $$$value when I sold it.
I still got a Grand more than I originally paid for it though.

I think I've got you youngsters beat. This is me in the fall of 1969 sitting on my '69 Mach1 Mustang. It cost me $3,200 brand new. My boyfriend painted my name on the fender for me, very cool at the time. And I had to finance it too because three thousand was a lot of money then.

I've got the bell bottoms, hippie glasses, and freaky frizzy long hair but it's pulled back in a ponytail in that photo.

Nice Mustang! Here is a clip of the Blue Goose.

Yeah, I was. Except when I "tuned in, turned on, and dropped out" (though I was in grad school and never dropped out) we called ourselves "freaks" (letting our freak flags fly.) This was right after the "death of hippie".

I guess I'm still a freak - just camoflaged as a conventional guy! []
