Ever tried to give a stylist a picture of your high school yearbook photo? I have, and it did not go well.

Phoenix clients in July are a special kind of stubborn, aren't they. You can explain the science of compromised hair until you're blue in the face and they still hear "do it faster". Now it's your fault the straw finally broke. Classic.

David_foster80 has a point about trusting single marks. My buddy's deck went sideways last year from a bad layout, and we spent a whole weekend fixing it. Sometimes the old school way is just safer.

Honestly that rope sounds like it's got plenty of life left if it's still in one piece.

Seriously, Emma's right that transport is just one piece. Even local grass-fed beef needs huge amounts of land and water, and the feed grown for it often gets shipped in anyway. So you're really just shifting a tiny bit of the pollution from the truck to the tractor in the fields.
