Watch it to the end....



As an accountant I found this entertaining. But it does say something about the times we live in where everybody gets a trophy and Fact are Not Facts.

I am

So on the way to the hospital the other day to visit my girlfriend who has now received a lung transplant I come up to the intersection of Airport and 6th Street. There is a plastic grocery bag in the middle of the intersection. Airport Blvd is 6 lanes and 6th Street is 4 lanes and this bag is right in the center of the interchange and moves as cars go whipping past. As cars turn it moves this way and that but basically stays right in the same spot just spinning from all the movement around it.

I look at the bag and see my life right now. I have no control, I'm being spun this way and that as I try to put out the dumpster fire that my life has become. I think I am starting to get a cold, my back hurts, my feet hurt, I'm losing my mind. I'm working on pure adrenalin it seems now. I don't know how much longer I can do this. There is so much work to be done at her house to get it ready for a lung transplant patient. At least I had a vacation right after her surgery so I started the work with something in the tank but the tank grows drier by the day. More people have started to contribute but it seems like I am all alone in this fight.

I'm tired, I am the plastic bag.

American Land Uses

As seen at The Big Picture. http://ritholtz.com/

Very interesting to see just how we use the land in America. Do we really need 2 million acres devoted to Golf?
