Friday 12/15. Time magazine's Person of the Year issue really clarified the current movement against sexual harassment for me. Not seeing the news on TV or getting a daily paper, it just seemed to be getting a bit excessive. When I entered the workforce, men were in charge. That's just the way it was and there were lots of lewd jokes. Even right up to my last job in the fitness industry, it was a good-ol'-boys club. Fortunately, I never experienced any overt sexual harassment. It was all rather subtle, except for the jokes. However, I once had to train a man so he could take the position of my boss instead of being promoted myself, simply because he was a man.
But at what point does it become harassment? There is the obvious physical touching or even failure to be promoted just because you are a woman. Unfortunately, there are going to be a lot of men that are unjustly accused, by liars or women who are simply too sensitive and just won't stand up for themselves. And that's just life. We were never promised it would be fair.
But now I am living Up Here, having put up with all that crap for so many years. Harass me now and you will regret it.
And, speaking up Up Here, we had some light snow in the morning, but by 10:30 the air had warmed to 33 (which was our high), the snow stopped and the fog sank down into the canyons and valleys. Blue sky appeared in the west and the sky was clear by sunset.
We watched Guardians of the Galaxy #2 this evening. Entertaining, but both of us prefer #1.
Saturday 12/16. It was 26 and partly clear this morning. We had patchy blue sky throughout the day with valley fog and our high was 33.
Just a typical winter-weather day. . .
Sunday 12/17. It was 30 and mostly clear this morning, again with valley fog. I finished the last two Christmas presents. Got two packages ready to mail tomorrow, and baked the first of the Christmas cookies - chocolate zingers.
My trip Down There will be my next-to-last before Christmas. I have been invited by the Gridders to go see Star Wars, The Last Jedi! Woo Hoo! Our son and his family saw it Thursday night at a special showing, and he says it is better than The Force Awakens.
Quite warm today. We could see the forecast snow coming down to the west, south and north, but it never arrived here. Before dark our high was 36, but when JB checked at 9:00 pm, it had warmed to 39 and the wind was whipping about at 18 mph.
Larry and Elsie are coming up to visit tomorrow evening and play marbles. Certainly looking forward to that.
Monday 12/18. It is 36 this morning and still a bit breezy. Looks like the sky is overcast, but it is hard to tell since the sun isn't up yet. I plan to be on my way Down There by 9:00.
Thought for the day: It is better to walk alone than in a crowd going the wrong direction.
