Soylent Green, Flip Flops, and liquor stores... in the news

Dirty flip flops can kill you, news blurb today!
They, flip flops that is, apparently are hiding E-coli and many staph infections as well amongst those cute little piggy’s, oh my! PS: the death threat is only for those with compromised immune systems or open cuts on the feet wearing them.

CNN breaking news: MJ, Michael Jackson will finally be buried on August 29.2009 at Forest Lawn.

Swine flu is now getting its own video game.

The actual flu should be getting shot by October 15th that is a flu shot for the H1 N1 will be available by then.

Jet skis are being stolen locally, so far eight on trailers have been stolen from people’s yards, law enforcement believe that human trafficking smugglers’ may be behind it.
But guys…we, hubby and I, want to know how that would work…since the ones stolen only have room for one person on them? Oh just explained for traveling in front of the larger boats as look outs, thank you very much, my bad.

The rain came early today, right after lunch, a big storm with heavy winds, thunder and lightening, and only about a half inch of moisture, temperature dropped 12 degrees for that, but enough rain to not have to water!

Ana can stir up some weather in the next few days, we have to watch her, she is back to only a depression, but could cause trouble, mostly rain.

Erika Erndl a thirty-one year old Olympic hopeful from Naples Florida is hoping to compete in three years, but hopes her age won’t be a deterrent to her competing. I think not what about that amazing 41 year old mom that won Gold in the Olympics in China last summer, Dara Torres.

Could the healthcare reform be going down the tubes?
What about the co-op ideas of healthcare?
The barterers are also getting into the act.
The country is split on the plan going forward, and the town halls are causing America to talk, have it on occasion a little too loudly but they are talking.
PS: the elderly are NOT going to be euthanized people when ill!
What do you think we are living in Soylent Green (my reference is to the 1973, Charlton Heston Movie: go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soylent_Green) era here?
Wake up America, if it sounds a wee bit too far fetched, IT IS!

Another interesting tidbit in the news, the newest binge drinkers are…. 50-64 year olds, would you believe? And you thought I was going to say pre-teens or post grad students I betcha?

It boils down to men 23% and women 9% that are drinking more these days.
The oddest thing I saw when out last week was in a Super Wal-Mart we had a few items to pick up at, the old bank that used to be in there towards the front of the store; is now a discount liquor store…ah the times we live in, banks are out (literally) and liquor stores are in; sad but true.

On that thought provoking example of how it is…I will bid you all a good night and to all of you be safe, and count those blessings and I will too!
