The Changing Times
Some fifty years ago we used a term (not disparagingly) "a couple of Scarsdale matrons" to describe the ladies with the blue hair wearing their white gloves and riding the train from Westchester County into Manhattan to shop at Saks and Bergdorfs. Fast forward and now we see the modern "matron" driving a Mercedes SUV and raising a marijuana farm in a Queens warehouse. (see NYT 6/8/13) Wow! That's chutzpah! Instead of blue hair we only smell blue air! But just don't inhale.
tjs P.S. The Googler says this is post number 600 or in SuperSpeak it is DC.
