Odd

October 4, 2012

I got my hair cut today.  The person who cuts my hair is named Chemene and her shop is in the Odd Fellows Building on Capitol Hill.  Apparently the Odd Fellows were originally men in villages where there were not enough of any one trade to form a guild.  So, they banded together in a society of odd fellows.  They weren't really "odd", in the sense of "strange", at all.  Be that as it may, the building they built in Seattle, despite "modernization",  has always felt odd to me.
