Big Macs and GMOs

Going to the grocery store is more difficult than fast food. After a hard day at work, it's much easier to go to a speaker, order food, and enjoy the good taste. However, it becomes a much more difficult bite to swallow after seeing the affects.

Want a Big Mac?
Watch this Movie...

Buying local does not mean going to the local big chain grocery store. Neither is the big chain by itself bad. However, it pays to know what is in your food. Not just the fat, calories, and (lack of) nutrition, but also what kind of pesticides, herbicides, and molecules. While not as good as Food, Inc.(excerpt at PBS), The Future of Food is an educational, eye opening film:

September 15

The 15th of September is the day that Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy (2008), US Forces landed in Incheon, Korea (1950), and the first spacecraft that flew around the moon and returned to Earth was launched (the Zond 5 in 1968). Prince Harry of Wales was born (1984) and several other important and not so important things happened.

For me, though, 15 September 2009 was more than just another day. Though never making the news, it marks adding to my family:
171 days previous, I married the love of my life, and 171 days hence is the due date for our first child.

More Semi-senseless information from Mac! Have a great day!

Food Movie

I like to eat. Steak is great. However, after going tonight to see this movie, I don't know how I'll feel about it.

How Flipper Gets Captured

Let me just say this -- I really like dolphins. I liked the TV Show Flipper, I liked seeing them at Marine Land and Sea World. I didn't know how they were put in places like that, though. Now, I do...

Busy

My life right now is busy. I have work, college, and one other thing going on. Later this month, I marry the love of my life. She's smart, beautiful, funny, supportive, and loving. Neither one of us are nervous about the wedding or marriage, but both are starting to feel the pressures of putting on a celebration... while maintaining a long distance relationship. Next month we wont have either of those two things... and I can't wait!

A small town man

A man from a small town in Oklahoma died yesterday. He was 91.

He asked his wife, who he called Angel, to marry him on their first date[1
]. She turned him down then but they later married. His job became the family business with his wife as the producer and his son writing the script.

Reaganomics and guesstimates are two of the words he is crediting with coining[2].

Have you figured out who it is? It's Paul Harvey from radio fame. I can recall several times listening him on the radio while much younger. Mom would especially want to listen while driving in the car. I had fun trying to guess who his biography pieces were on.

Thank you, Mr. Harvey, for giving us the rest of the story... Good day.
