Man, I just got back from the state fair.
I don't think I've seen that many homely people all in one place EVER! (I fit right in) It was like somebody took all the Walmarts in the country and dumped the shoppers out in the same fairgrounds at once.
If there is a special hell for introverts, I bet its set up just like the fair.
And my hats off to whoever first understood that people will pay outrageous parking and admission fees for the privilege of walking around and paying inflated prices for cheap gadgets and food that's deep fried in grease left over from last years fair.
ack ack
Now I understand the term "FAIR food"
Apparently it's used in contrast to the term "GOOD food"
Somebody should open a stomach pump booth, they'd make a LOT of money...
No wait, maybe that's why they sometimes hose out the rides before the next rider gets on...

Got back a few weeks ago from a week in Siena and Florence, Italy. Wife and my 16 year old son came along on a business trip. Large groups of people walking the narrow streets, my son said " OMG, so this is where all the beautiful people are" ...all slim, neat, well dressed - opened up our eyes to how sloppy we have become here in US. I came home and started on a diet.  Sometimes you just have to open your eyes.

Lost 30 pounds and while it got the diabetes under control and me in great shape some tell me I am still ugly. I guess from what I hear being slimmer and a good dresser is just part of the solution. Just saying.
Later,

Obesity is fast becoming the North American health epidemic. I see it up here everyday - grade school and high school students with life preservers where their waists should be. It also has the effect of transforming a pretty face into something not too short of grotesque.
Again, just saying.

I'm convinced it's the growth hormones used to bring our food to market quicker.
It's not only affecting our size & weight; children are maturing, sexually, at an earlier age.

Got back a few weeks ago from a week in Siena and Florence, Italy.
When you were in Siena, a city best described as one of those circular games with the BB in it where you have to roll it into the right passage to get to the center.... did you happen to see a rental car nobody was claiming? I lost my rental car in Siena in 2000. I parked it somewhere and went into the city. When I went in, it was daytime and the shops were open and I know I went down 4 steps and entered by a store selling soccer equipment. When I tried to leave the metal bars were down and all the store fronts looked the same. I wandered for like 90 minutes looking for that car and found nothing. So I went to the car rental place and they said that because I lost it they could not help me, but they could if it was stolen. And I said "Did I said lost? I meant stolen. Yeah, it was stolen." Went to file the police report and Allesandro told me that they had not had a car stolen in 24 years. My reply was "Yeah, well, I am a trailblazer like that. Fill out the report."
But on topic, yes, the enzyme driven processed food we eat here is awful when compared to the natural simplicity of the diet in Europe. We were in Italy 13 days and the WORST meal I had there was better than the best I had here. I would like to go back (with somebody nicer) and enjoy that food and ambience again.

I actually may have - we took a picture of this car sitting in the middle of a commuter parking lot. I looks like it had not been moved for over 10 years - all tires flat and grass growing all around it. 
...thats my boy with it (handsome devil he is).

No...I mean physically. Young girls are menstruating earlier.
