mainehiker---Just got back from the sea to the mountain.
A great day nestled in the dunes with my wife under one arm, head on chest, our Leonberger under the other arm, head on chest, and a good bottle of wine on the side
while watching the wildlife go about it's daily routine. That's the good life in my book.
But yeah, while I may have been harsh about it obesity in this country is a problem. Just seems to highlight the general gluttony of our society in many respects. The world depends on our gluttony. I am appalled by it personally but realize that I am in the vast minority on this point.
Newly was right I believe in his response to Joes' rant to Lee, if you follow me, in that you have to pick your fights. I happened to agree with what joe was saying but when a gale wind is in your face it is usless to try to piss into it.
At any rate, I hope you survived the monsoon OK.
