Wyoming is known as the Equality State as it was the first in the United States to give women the right to vote. There may have been some self-serving reasons by men in power during that time but, from that time in 1870 when women voted in Wyoming, the United States went on the track of equality. The 19th Amendment was ratified in 1920 and all women could vote in the country. On March 22, 1972, the Equal Rights Amendment was passed by the U.S. Senate and sent to the states for ratification....

I have always enjoyed Western movies, for the most part, but I have to admit, in recent weeks I have become almost addicted to them. It started when I bought two different collections. One was a James Stewart bundle, all Westerns. I guess I have always associated him with “It’s a Wonderful Life” and “Philadelphia Story” so I didn’t realize he had done quite a few Westerns. I bought the set because it had the movie “Rare Breed”. I was pretty young when it came out but I had some vague memory fr...

At one point I was writing for a magazine where my job was going to different nightclubs in Taipei reviewing their “Ladies Night.” My work at the magazine was part-time because I lived in Taichung, a three to four hour bus ride away. Back then the train was not much faster. although that has changed. Using the ‘Bullet Train’, a person can be in Taipei from Taichung in an hour-and-half. The oth... Full story
