Women To Be Colorful For County Fair The women of Red Bluff are not barred from wearing gaudy colors to help promote the Tehama County Fair and Roundup, September 11-17. In fact, they are cordially invited to partic- ipate in this showy array of colors and to go as far as they like. The men have no monopoly on this loud display of hats, shirts and handkerchiefs. — Aug. 24, 1922 We shall begin with the "Planners." Similar to accountants, engi- neers, and folks who have to make sure all the "T's" are crossed, and all the "I's" are dotted, I assume these folks are proficient with pro- ject management software, budgets, contracts, and run a tight, well- organized ship at home. They tack- le weight loss with the same fervor and methodology they would build a bridge: detailed efficiency and a clear eye on the goal. They deter- mine how many pounds must be shed by which date, divide by num- ber of weeks, calculate average weight loss, establish the necessary "additional calorie burn" per day – and plot a path to the end point. "Planners" will have detailed food journals ("three and half ounces of chicken, baked at 350 degrees; long-grain rice, one half cup; broccoli, steamed – with a 1/8 teaspoon of olive oil"). They will often proudly also share a graph of their progress coupled with spread- sheets projecting future trends with appropriate predicted goal dates. Planners schedule their lives to hit their objective, and by golly, they'll do it. always get a chuckle out of it. There are three types of dieters. Planners — and their willingness to rearrange day-to-day living to achieve what matters to them — impress me. I however, would not receive that moniker, as I reside much more on the right side of the brain, falling within the "Modifiers" label. Although some might call us thing together." "unorganized," I take umbrage at that descriptor, as I am quite order- ly. I simply find it diffi- cult to stick with one task from beginning to end without breaks along the way. I get things done — and at the risk of being immodest — I am told I do them well. However, I'm not a "black and white" kind of guy. Don't weigh me down with details and specifics. Tell me where you need to be and I'll get us there; just let me figure out the roads we take, and I assure you, we'll both be happier. We are artists, philosophers, and "How?" Modifiers wish to under- stand the "Why?" Summed up, Planners march head forth down the center of the avenue; Modifiers stroll, often as interested in the path as where it leads. Obviously, no one clear- Planners are driven by the Scott Q. Marcus motivators. We approach goals more informally (which must not be misconstrued as less dedicated); we are simply less rigid; and I say that without judgment. We nibble (pun lightly intended) around the edges of our lifestyle, seeking simple steps that let us glide in the proper direction while not causing more turbulence than absolutely neces- sary. We accept a slower pace in exchange for a more contented journey. As illustration, the Planner schedules 30-minute increments of spinning class at the gym; Modi- fiers find a couple moments of free time between appointments and take a walk. Planners use cook- books and pre-plan a week's meals. Modifiers "see what they have in the refrigerator" and "throw some- If the suit fits, wear it proudly. If not, get it altered. But standing around, lamenting its discomfort accomplishes nothing except plac- ing you squarely in the third cate- gory: "Complainers." ly fits either, and most of us fit both. But a character in a book I'm reading stated, "Be who you are and accept it. Stop blaming yourself for who you aren't." Although dis- cussing a different subject, the reminder hit home. We compare ourselves to "the others," forgetting they're "different," not "better."
