The magical hemline

I know that I am one of those geeky guys who can only think tech.  Well today a different thought entered my mind.  I was thinking about the old adage that hemlines reflect or are an indicator of economic prosperity.  So I set out this morning to do research and see how bad our economic situation is.  My conclusion is that we are not too close to the great depression but not the roaring 20’s either.  Seems most of the hemlines I encountered this morning on my trip from Penn Station to 42nd st were slightly above knee level, tight jeans though making a huge impact but not sure what that is an indicator of.  Now there are some factors we need to keep in mind.  First, it is just 60 degrees here in the am so we have to take into consideration the chill factor.  To help with this I will again subject myself and dedicate time during lunch for more research. Second, dress codes in the city have relaxed, how many of these tight jean wearing lasses would be in short skirts if jeans were not acceptable.  I guess more than a few.  Now for the results, like I said most were an inch or two above the knee, maybe 3 were knee length with only one being straight down to the ankle, she obviously doesnt care much about economic success.  I do however have to commend those two women who wore the mid thigh skirts, I believe we all must do what we can in these troubled times.  I will continue to report on this throughout the day and see if times are bleak or sunny ahead.  And to all those women who thought I was leering, nope just doing research :-)

I have tennis again tonight but its against the same team as last Tuesday, but I am playing so that is good.  I also have to get myself into runing in the ams again as I have let that laspe, bad me

Enough rambling for now
