It is mid summer, and i am still weighing around 191. I suppose that isn't around, I weigh around 190. I would rather say 191, though, becuase that way when i weigh 189, I can celebrate my 2 lb weight loss.
Now that I am a government employee, I realize that is awesome, and insanely frustrating at the same time.
Also, I like books on my nook.
The fastest train in the world can go over 400km per hour. I just saw a commerical that says that. Is that fast? I don't know, if your going to use metrics, don't buy ad space in the US, it is meaningless to most of us I think. They may as well have said, 400,000 km I have no idea what that means.
Also I need to post more!

Summer
It is memorial day, and it is hot finally, or it was now it looks like we'll have a thunderstorm, but nevermind that, it is hot finally.
On NPR I was listening to i though weekend edition, but I was not and they had a piece on the sounds of summer, where 4 people much better at writing than I described the sounds that reminded of them of summer. I am not sure if it was part of the assignment or not, but they all talked about sounds from their childhoods.
One lady talked about the sound of the ice cream truck.
That got me thinking, No one that comes here, likely remembers the ice cream man in and around Carbon County. However that guy was the coolest ice cream man ever. He had a big van, huge, like ambulance sized, and in it was everything you needed to have a ice cream parlor. You want soft serve, check, you want softserve dipped in chocolate, made right at your front yard, he had it. He had all the premade stuff that other icecream men have, but i never got those.
What i liked, dreamed, of and still long for are his shakes. That was sweet, he would make a shake right there curb side. That was awesome.
When i think of the icecream man i think of him, and his music and big old van.

weigth-in saturday
So I weighted in at 192 today, that is slightly less than i weighted a few days ago, and I saw that I needed to get into shape.
Also, I am taking book reccommendations again.
Also, It is memorial day weekend. Everyone, well, everyone that is American, or even those that aren't, you should take a minute to reflect and remember those who died for us or you. Unless you're say Brazilian, it is likely an army made up of your countrymen died fighting to protect it. While it is true that it is an American holiday, and I will take to time to remember the soliders who have been injured and are trying to deal with the emtional impacts of war.
There are lots of folks doing things for Veterans. I am going to give a little bit to the Wounded Warrior Project.
