I’m glad she’s multi-talented and smart.

It helps break the stereotype that pretty girls are vapid and brainless.

Some people think that smart blondes, in particular, are unicorn territory; they somehow exist only in the fantasy realm. I fought that nonsense throughout my 20’s.

From one crown winner to another, go Grace!

I worked at Knolls nuclear Plant in Schenectady N.Y. and they trained Navel Engineers to run the power plants on Subs. Lot of Brain power walking around up there, enough to run plants all over this country if we ever got smart enough to start building them again.

I am married to another smart good looking woman. They used to say that Whiskey was invented to keep the Irish from ruling the world. My wife isn’t Irish but i would say that Needle Arts were invented to keep her from ruling the World. Since they give her something she could do outside of work she wasn’t interested in total control and mastery.

Just a reference to the presumed chromosomes (XX) of Miss America.

How many chances in a million do you think that a non-woke, non climate-crisis-alarmed young woman wins Miss America in this day and age?

A smart, loving wife is a blessing!

I hope you had a lot of kids. We need more people with working brains in this world.

I guess my info is out of date.
When I was younger, I worked with several anthropologists, biologists and nuclear engineers. None of them could find job in their field.
But that was a while ago. Sorry.

My daughter who graduated 10 years ago, had no trouble, getting a job. So if you were younger in like the late 80’s that might have been true, when scores of nuke plants got cancelled.
