Irish men never ask their kids.Well, I'm 50% Irish. So that makes the percentage of red hair....???? I don't know, ask my kid. She's the math wiz.

She defines herself.She goes by Todash here but hasn't been on in quite some time.
Are you yourself "natural"?.Trying to think if I know any (natural) red heads here so I can answer that but I guess if I have to think that hard about it, I must not.
Thanks. In our household the Irish spirit remains strong... or is that spirits?
Sure we do. We just never listen to what they have to say.Irish men never ask their kids.
Absolutely--now. Haven't dyed my hair in about 10 years. Wasn't sure at first if I'd be okay with gray hair but turns out I like it even better than when my hair was its natural brown, or any of the other colors in between that I experimented with.Are you yourself "natural"?.
Oh. Okay then. I guess it's the modern thing.Sure we do. We just never listen to what they have to say.
I'm glad I asked. I myself am natural, dammit. As for hair.Absolutely--now. Haven't dyed my hair in about 10 years. Wasn't sure at first if I'd be okay with gray hair but turns out I like it even better than when my hair was its natural brown, or any of the other colors in between that I experimented with.
...maybe the plumber will have red hair.....I'm thinking, maybe he uses red haired characters because they seem more interesting. There are fewer gingers than blondes or brunettes, so that in itself sets them apart and makes them more intriguing. It makes a more impactful mental picture.
Authors, I've noticed often use unusual eye color for that reason. Maybe that's what he's doing.
I don't really know, actually. I'm just waiting for my toilet to get fixed.
You! Bite this!
There are lots of red headed Irish people. Plenty slightly crazy and hot tempers go with Irish whether ginger or not.I’m Irish. About 40% of my family have red hair. They all have tempers... and are all slightly crazy.
Larry in The Stand is described as having reddish gold, reddish blonde hair, too. Interesting. This made me think of my recent trip to Maine. I could not find any black people. There was one man working at the Rite Aid in Bangor but not many elsewhere. I'm from Alabama and it's about 50/50 in my area. It was something I took for granted. I'd heard people joke that Maine was 'white' as (fill in with metaphor) but never gave it much credibility. I soon noticed this in other states: Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, and Montana. It was very disconcerting. I made some jokes about it but it really was eerie, as a Southerner. Just an observation. I now realize the populace is not as diverse in different parts of the country...for whatever reasons.Reading "It" and "Under The Dome" recently, I noticed a few characters have red hair. Bill and Bev in "It". Jackie and Georgia in UTD. There is also Jimmy Cody from "'Salem's Lot".
So, how is the proportion in the real world Maine? I like how red haired people look, but there are practically none where I live (central Mexico).
I can't know how it is in Maine because I have never been there (with so many cosmic, ancient evils making Maine their home, it may be a very dangerous place to visit).
Yes, it mentions his hair color about 3 times. He's dark blonde but it says "reddish" in each instance. I could tell you one of the passages near the end but I'm afraid it would give away the plot, since you are still reading it.Larry's red-blond? Cool! At the part I'm in, I think they have not mentioned his hair color (I have only gotten that he is good looking, that he left home at around 18, came back at around 25, and that he tries to be good but is an impatient, selfish brat, this last part making me more similar to Larry than to Nick Andros, sadly). I'll pay attention for when his hair color is brought up. Finishing up this temporary off-topic comment, I also got that Lloyd is baby-faced and suspect Trashcan Man is younger than I might have thought, coming from the TV series (younger than 30, perhaps).
I think some places would even have a larger proportion of latinos, currently, right? I suppose it would be equally disconcerting for people coming from all-white or all-non-latino regions in the USA.
I have a few gingers in my family. One of my sons and a grandbaby. Strong Irish/Scottish roots in my family.
