On and off topic---Ugly day for longs and uglier after the close. The long expected rise in interest rates is upon us with many lovely consequences of the rebalancing act to unfold before our very eyes. Well, enough of the on topic stuff.
Now for the off topic. Saw a clip of dozens of little or not so little fat piggy school childeren trying to do some jumping jacks and just could not resist comment. Pathetic. Anyone notice how truly fat most of the residents of this country are? Tubs of lard everywhere. This is what I took away from recent travels.
From children to adults a large percentage of the populace are fat pigs. They may be wanting for jobs in the future but they sure are not wanting for food in the present. We went through one town in No. Cal. and walked by a restaurant called the "House O 'Lard" and the line was long. A "Bucket O' Lard" was $5.99, a "Tub O' Lard" was
$6.99, and a "Trough O' Lard" was free if you could eat it all and by the looks of all the licked clean troughs out back the resaurant was losing dough. Disgusting. A four hundred pounder in line ahead of me in a grocery store had five eskimo pies tucked under her arm, devouring another from one hand and waving food stamps from the other.
She looked at me and said, "I have a gland problem"..... Yeah. Some people with lavish spending habits claim they don't by happiness, they buy away unhappiness. Are the obese members of this country trying to eat their way out of unhappness?
While Amarican companies are getting lean and mean it's population has become anything but. Time for people to get off their overstuffed rears and get their lives under control and stop with the obsessive behavior which is a detriment to themselves and the rest of this society.
I will now leap off my mile high soap box and dive head first into a vat of Crisco.
JMO and just kidding everyone. Not! {GGG}
Time for a hike
