Yes, it was loads of fun because we used to snoop, too! We would always laugh when the ladies would talk about how, “That boy better NOT look at my legs when he has to work underneath!”

SOMETHING TO SHOUT ABOUT

SARAH VAUGHAN: “YOU’D BE SO NICE TO COME HOME TO”

This live recording dates from Sarah’s gig in 1958 at The London House in Chicago. She has some exceptional sidemen backing her up for a fine jazz version.

Or in the arctic you get on the wireless

When they got ESS (Electronic Switching Systems) in the CO(Central Office) we knew our days were numbered.

My favorite telephone company story:

My Dad, a Mr. White, was charged with training a big class of new Affirmative Action Employees who had been hired by New England Telephone as part of a consent Decree with the EEOC.

As he faced the room full of Black Youths who needed to learn Safety and First Aid for their dangerous jobs on the tall utility poles and noxious manholes of Boston, My guileless, affable, and totally innocent-of-racism Daddy faced the class and said:

“Good morning. I will be your instructor for this phase of your training. My name is Mr. White, but you can just call me “Whitey”.”

I swear on my King James Study Bible it’s TRUE!

Actually I was on the eighth! LOL!

Oh man! That was good luck! Anything to cut down on heating bills is a plus. I can only imagine how outrageous they’ve been for all of you up there.

We really do need some cold weather here to kill off some bugs but we’ve appreciated not having high heating bills. But come spring and summer, we’re going to be eaten alive when we go outside. Win one way and lose another.

☺ Suck it up buttercup!

My dad also taught me Arctic Survival. (He learned that during the Korean War)

And How to build an igloo.

Never heard of the DEW line

Good on those men and women

Never heard of the DEW line

A relic of the Cold War.

OK....too funny, but oh so true.

I couldn’t believe McTurtle had it in him to shut her up.

RADAR at it’s finest. Keeps Russia at bay.
