I don't like it ...

Just for the record, I do not like that McDonalds post calories beside all of their menu items.  I mean, really, if I go into a McDonalds there is already a certain bit of guilt and self flagellation involved and then to have to face the cold hard facts in black and white of all of the calories you will consume just because you have to fulfill your craving for a mcD's fish square sandwich ... Well it's just wrong.  

...  I find that if I concentrate I can make my vision blur so the calorie info  is just some fuzzy markings on the wall ...

Peaceful Plowing



I took Mom out for a drive in the country last night. It was so pretty and it stays light for so long it just seemed a shame to waste  the evening inside.  We were deep in farming country when I saw this farmer out plowing his field.  I had to stop and watch him for a while and envy his peaceful plow time. Just him, the plow and the land. No dogs running around needing fed or played with. No dinner to cook. No dishes to wash. No laundry calling your name. No TV playing in the background. No phone. Just him, the plow and the land. Peaceful plowing. Made me envious.
