AND WHEN I DO FIND GENDER EQUITY, I RECOGNIZE IT

Hurricanes.

Half boys, half girls.

Isn't that a helluva thing?

Thank you National Weather Service.

(My name and nickname have both been retired, thankfully.)

Look out Hawaii -- here comes Flossie!

  4. My mom always said we oughtn't name storms after men, because "it imbues them with male aggression." Her theory stood up well until Katrina.

  6. The Democratic Cmte. (& maybe the Rs) in Allegheny county have one female & one male cmte. member per precinct.

    Considering the caliber of most Dem. cmte. mbrs. that's not necessarily comforting or encouraging.
