I'm In the Top 1% - REALLY?

No, no not 'that' one percent, the 1% who own all the wealth of the United States. Believe me, I don't even wish to be in that category.  Enough is enough and contentment with what I have is a big part of my makeup.

But I just got an email from Goodreads where I mainly keep track of books I want to read. You never know when you'll hit a fabulous used bookstore and wonder...what did I want so much??? However, I do write brief reviews for books I've read - just a sentence or two usually. But apparently I've reached the stratosphere of reviewers. No mention of quality was given.  Hmmm...

Thank you Otis. Please keep up with the pats on the head. Yes, I'm easily flattered.  1%...just think of it....

Flashback Friday: The Original 1%

This image and text comes from the Time Life website. This photo of the one of the Hells Angels, back in the 1950s, gives another meaning to the phrase "1% " being bandied about in today's political climate. Interesting to see the term go from one end of the spectrum to the other, but still be a term of disgust by the rest of the population.

Hells Angels were men. Who were the women with them? Ones who knew their place which was in a different bar room from the bikers. Speak when spoken to.  I doubt somehow that it was plastic surgery that resulted in that bandaged nose.
