When once upon a time in a time so far, far, away

In a time and era, now so far, far away. Its too bad that being kind or congenial to a associate in your company was not a thing to be looked down on, with someone of the tender other gender thinking you have another idea, hiding under your zipper or a evil agenda. No they took at it as a thing of praise and you moved on and took care of the operation of business. 
Today if you recommend someone to the overall general community, or give praise on line as to the concept they do a better job than anyone else in town or the vocation, your thought of as just a dirty old biker, with a hard on for them. 
Example, as I related earlier. Local Bar gal here , served me well at a local brew joint here. So I gave her praise. She overhears the Club might be opening a bar here, gives me her phone number. So followed up on the call. After just two calls, no response. Huh? Suggested a side dish of she could work on the promotions side of HazzardAyre Radio. Okay she bugged out. But still she being the sharp, fantastic person she is with good eye candy to boot, I told as many here as I could, if your looking to hire someone she's it. No more, forgot about her, didn't care. So then the same original place I met her was , had a security guy, so I mentioned I was looking for an engine and all for mini toew. Guess what ? Yep Lexi' , so I called , no response put the idea away, no harm no foul no more nothing. So then the other day go to this shindig with our church ward. Kids were playing at the same park, and so Lexi was there. Said hello, she growled, left it alone. Then I hear from her to FO. Fine, no problem, here I thought she was kind. 
So I am of the opinion, that today instead of being the kind, mentor leader of the operation any company, no can't be a helping kind person, today you have to nearly be a barking hard ass'd Marine Corps, style Drill Instructor, and make all employees including the women under your command feel like sand roaches. 
The thing of equal oppurtunity and all for both genders is pure bunk. Equal pay yes, equal work with risks? No way, your women employees will thing that your being nice and kind is approaching them in a romantic way, and as such, they will make your life hell. 
I can remember as a young Wolf-Pup, in Utah. My Dad went to pick up prescriptions at what was once called Layton Drugs. There was a lady in there that served us, by the name of Mrs. Carver. Dad used to tease and flirt, and make sure she knew , he appreciated the effort she made in making us feel good about being a customer. She'd even give me a free ice cream cone. 
Try that today, and you'll get arrested for some sort of misaligned sexual approach. Really? Have we degraded in our society that much? 
Some areas of our region its not that bad. Over in Idaho near Hazzard where I was raised and all, there is still not the grave panic from the tender gender if you flirt a bit, most likely they'll flirt back. Even as bad as what Metro-Utah has become, the art of a friendly howdy is not so alarming to that tender gender. Some will even sit and have coffee with you such as at Sill's Cafe in Layton. Try that here in urban/rural Etown, someo9ne pushes the e button. My advice is women chill out. Not every guy who says howdy or is kind to you wants to get between your thighs. That I guess is, in that time and era so far, far, far away.
Be on the air in the AM, doing routine engineering here at HazzardAyre.
