I just looked up the weather forecast for where our place is, and tonight will be 43, tomorrow high 64 and low of 53, but Wednesday, high supposed to be 42 and low 29. It should be about the same at Beech. maybe colder because it's in the clouds.

Stopping by Land of Oz. Went there 40 years ago. I understand it’s reopened and the wife is a Oz freak.

You lived it. You know more than I do.

You know what I've experienced? 3 years ago my wife decides she's going to work in the corporate world with no experience or degree. I'll skip the details and just say she's had 3 promotions and she's now a project manager for tech solutions where the clients are paying over $100k per project. It's completely merit based. Half the people she works with are women.

You had to search high and low for an organization like that in the 60's. You don't have to be a student of history or to have lived it to know this is a relatively new phenomenon.

So there were some exceptions to a culture that largely called women “sweetie.”

That’s cool, but if you think we’ve been trending away from feminism since the ‘60s, it’s probably better if it’s based on something other than personal anecdotes. This isn’t really a situation where “I’m older, so I’m automatically right” applies.

Come to think of it, a female clerk in a convenience store called me sweetie last week, and one called me honey within the last month. I may go back there, and file a sexual harassment claim.

Thankfully, there is no more sexual harassment due to laws. Hollywood and D.C. wouldn't stand for sexual harassment nowadays.

By the way, Huff, I never said that the workplace hadn't gotten better for women. I said that it wasn't nearly as bad as you and the other doofus portrayed it.

Sounds like maybe she's sleeping with her boss. That is how it was done in the old days, and still is in Hollywood.

I am a big fan of Carol Burnett. She was raised by her Grandma who encouraged her to go get a job as a secretary so she could "nab the boss". That story is both hilarious and an indictment of the times.
