Ever feel like life, for a moment, was in perfect harmony throughout the world.
Ever feel that if the past was great, then the future can't be bad.
Today I picked a dandilion and shook it. The spores flew 1,000 feet into the sky, and I still don't understand it. 
I am living in a magical place.
Pittsburgh people, I hope you know you're living in someone else's heaven.
Thank you all for making it that way.

 1. Americans spend $36,000,000 at Wal-Mart every hour of every day
   (I didn't)
2. This works out to $20,928 profit every minute! 
   (somehow, I calculated thats $30,136,320 per hour...hmmm)
3. Wal-Mart will sells more from January 1 to April than Target sells all year.
   (McDonalds does too) 
4. Wal-Mart is bigger than Home Depot, Kroger, Target, Sears, Costco, and K-Mart combined.
    (Why would you combine Krogers and Home Depot?)
5. Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people and is the largest private employer, most can't speak English.
   (Most Americans can't speak English)
6. Wal-Mart is the largest company in the history of the World.
  (Babylon was largest prehistory mall)
7. Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger & Safeway combined, and keep in mind they did this in only 15 years.
8. During this same period, 31 supermarket chains sought bankruptcy (including Winn-Dixie). 
  (ewwwe..Winn-Dixie)
9. Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other store in the world.
10.. Wal-Mart has approx 3,900 stores in the USA of which 1,906 are Super Centers; this is 1,000 more than it had 5 years ago.
11 This year 7.2 billion different purchasing experiences will occur at a Wal-Mart store. Earth's population is approximately 6.5 billion.
  (I've bought there, but, it wasn't really an experience)
12.. 90% of all Americans live within 15 miles of a Wal-Mart.
   (1% live in the dressing rooms)
Let Wal-Mart run the Government.

A fellow I work with told me that his daughter was going for vacation in Ethiopia.
I said "WHY?".  He said, "She wants to adopt a child. I'm going to be a double grandfather!".
I said "Wow. Isn't she worried about mental illness, and other born diseases from the malnutrition."
He said "Nope. The company she's going through tells you all about the children. They get vaccinated...the whole shibang!".
I thought that was SO SELFLESS. She's going to give a child a life that he/she would have never had the opportunity to have.
That's nice. The people here are nice.
