Rants at a picnic…

This is a beautiful example of what Terry Gross called his “speaking in no language.”

I was looking up Jell-o pudding on the wikipedia for reasons unknown and came across a section that listed discontinued flavors. These were among them.

This image was on so many sites, I can’t figure out who to credit. But here ya go… this existed!

I don’t know who this person is, and I claim no ownership of the original file. I just found it one day and decided that would be a good candidate for practising fixing colors and red eye problems. Because I had no idea what color her eyes were supposed to be, I did it twice. Once with brown eyes and once with blue. The original picture is in the middle.

That’s when I was walking to and from work for a weight loss contest. They will eventually replace the 2007 images with the new ones, so I’m putting a thumbnail to a screenshot of this for future reference when the real map no longer shows this.

I lost my Dietbet. I only lost 83% of my goal. But this isn’t really a negative thing. I didn’t get nearly as much walking done as I intended. I could have won if I had. So let’s recap. I spent a month not getting enough exercise, and stuffing myself with meals that looked like this,

along with chips, candy, and syrupy waffles, and lost nine pounds. I think I made my point.

Here’s my entire diet plan for life:

• drink no calories except milk
• eat no fructose or alcohol
• get the heart pumping at least once per day

That’s it. I’m healthy. I’m happy. I’m still a little overweight, but that matches my current lifestyle. My work is sedentary. As I find more active ways to play, that will change accordingly. But as long as I’m healthy, I’m not terribly concerned about the weight I’m left with.

I had a class of milk and a hot dog bun for breakfast.
Later I had some jerky while I was driving.

Lunch was the buffet at KFC. Lots of fried chicken and a mountain of cole slaw.
