Yesterday

Some of the Black students started wearing afros. This was a Art & Music HS, so I don't think their was a fuss the way maybe some school would make.

There was a pair of sisters, not quite identical, l but really did look alike tbat I sometimes sat across at lunch. One was medium light brown with a ? 6' inch black afro. Her sister was a very light brown, with sort of reddish freckles and, a nearly bright red afro. They looked really cool sitting together!

Sigh... on the thinning hair.
