You say stereotypes-- I say 'the way it was'.

Looking back, the thing that seems funniest to me now is that in the
70's I was hospitalized for a week for GI testing. My room mate was
on O2 so I asked for [and got] another room so I, and my visitors,
could smoke.

We were allowed 2 beers with lunch. We were just driving big trucks,
working with heavy equipment & running telephone lines around electric
poles. What could go wrong?

sexism? Not in Schoharie county. The women knew their place and
didn't need no sexism to keep them in line.

Ahh-- The good old days.
