Why can’t a collective of professional businesswomen decide what is appropriate attire for themselves as well as for new businesswomen? Seems strange for a collective of businessmen to decide on or even have a serious opinion on what is best for businesswomen to wear. Women are not our children to be told what to wear. The irony is that many of us learned what is and is not appropriate to wear from our mothers. Let men come up with a standard for men and let women do so for themselves.

The National Police Agency released a report on vehicle accidents during 2017 that showed older drivers are far more likely to be involved in a fatality on the nation’s roads than younger drivers.
There were 418 road fatalities involving at least one driver over the age of 75 last year – 7.7 road deaths per 100,000 drivers – more than double the number of road deaths caused by drivers below the age of 75.
Drivers 75 or older accounted for nearly 13 percent of all road accidents during the year; 168 of the 418 fatal accidents, or 40.1 percent, were single-vehicle incidents, such as a car being driven into a utility pole. In contrast, only 22.9 percent of roadway accidents among all other age groups were single-vehicle incidents.
