Where do you live? Suburbs or city? Having lived through the age of retreating from city life I now find a crave a bit of it. Get me out of the burbs and land of bumfuck strip malls. Give some life, people, activity and being able to walk somewhere I might actually want to go. I do wanna go back to the city. Home times and people change So do dreams. Including American ones.

Old Age Discrimination
Its another year and we are all older.
The world conspires against old people. The notion that bigger is better and buying bigger containers of things makes them less expensive is one such conspiracy. For example as you get older, you get weaker. Have you thought about how heavy a gallon of milk is to lift and pour? If not, you are a kid of some sort. If so, you are probably golden.
Now a gallon of milk gets you twice as much as a half gallon. I am no slouch at math. Is a half gallon half the price? No. It is usually only slightly less expensive than a gallon. So to be frugal and prudent you would buy the gallon right? But if you are old and weak you cannot lift to pour it. Unfair. Price discrimination against old weak people. Just one thought for the new year.
