Good morning my friends. You know, sometimes I wonder why some of the folks in Washington act like they do and I think I have finally found the answer after years of research. There is a United States law that requires that Yankee Bean Soup be served in the congressional dining room at all times. Yep, it’s true. That’s probably the reason why some of our elected officials can no longer think straight…they’re bloated with gas. And perhaps that’ll explain some actions I saw the other day by a certain lady in congress. I don’t suppose I should judge people like her until I find out if she’d been eating too much bean soup and it went to her head. However, it could have been that the rubber band just snapped in her brain and she came unwound. One more interesting fact I discovered while doing my research was that Washington D.C. has more psychiatrists per capita than any other city in the United States. That should explain a lot about the condition of our country, we have a bunch of crazies running our government. Thankfully the Good Lord made us all a little different and that’s one of the reasons I’m a people watcher. I’m one of those folks who enjoys going to Walmart even if I don’t really need anything…I just like seeing some of the weirdness that seems to gravitate to the shopping Mecca. It’s hard to believe what some folks will wear in public…some of it is hilarious and some of it is downright vulgar and should be outlawed. It might be against the law to wear some of the stuff I’ve seen people wearing at our local Walmart, but the Fashion Police is never anywhere around when you really need them. Another thing I enjoy doing is to watch what, some supposedly normal, people eat when dining in public. I used to get a real kick out of sitting near the dessert bar at Golden Corral and watching some rather large customers waddle up to the bar and start loading up their plates until they’re piled so high that they need side-planks. You can hear them trying to catch their breath as they tote their over-loaded plates back to their seats. Some of these folks are so big that they have to make two trips just to haul ass…excuse my language there, but dang it, I like sweets, too, but there is a limit of how much of the good stuff I’m willing to poke down my throat just because it’s included in the price of the meal. Sadly I am no longer allowed to eat over three desserts since I am a diabetic. I will admit that when I was young I used to eat quite a bit of food at each meal. I have been known to eat eight dogs at one sitting, but I couldn’t help it, they were eight for a dollar. What was a man to do? My friend that was with me consumed his eight dogs, too, so it wasn’t like I was expected to share my meal with him. If I could find eight hot dogs for a dollar today, I would get depressed because I could probably not eat but four or five of them. But I do enjoy going to my favorite hot dog joint once in a while in Lincolnton where they are just $.85 each. I sometimes get their special consisting of one hot dog, one hamburger, one bag of chips, and a canned drink for $3. Anybody in their right mind couldn’t pass that kind of deal up in today’s economy. Well, after writing about all that food, I realized that I was awfully hungry. I’ve already been up for almost two hours and haven’t eaten anything but a pitiful little banana so it’s time to head to the gallery for my cheese crackers and ginger snaps. If I’m not careful, I’ll miss my 5:00 feeding. Be nice today and try to lay off the Yankee Bean Soup…you’ve seen how it can affect one’s brain when you eat too much of it. God Bless!!
