No Joke. Coffee Is Good For You.

Coffee Associated With Reduced Risk Of Stroke And Dementia. I have jokingly referred to my coffee addiction in the past; but today I am being totally serious. New studies have shown that moderate coffee drinking (2 to 3 cups a day), which is my typical consumption, reduces the risk of death in persons with heart comorbidities. As you know, I have CM, with a triple bypass in 2015. But, my greatest fear is not dying of a heart attack. That is probably pre-ordained, and I am, after all, 76 years old. My greatest fear is dementia, and the corresponding loss of a connection to reality, and the inability to think and write. Dementia is the plague of our society, and it is the cruelest disease of all. So, this study, which seems to indicate a correlation between coffee drinking and a reduction in dementia risk, is heartening. My deteriorating body is something I can deal with. The loss of my mind would be beyond terrible. Any other coffee drinkers out there? May your coffee kick in today before reality. 

Sometimes, You Need To Let The Customers Know.

Both interpretations of this sign are concerning. If a restaurant has to advertise that it doesn't cook and eat small animals, I might think twice before eating there. And, any restaurant that thinks people might think it "feeds" small animals is not going to be on my list for date night. And, if you are eating worms, or feeding them, you better be using them as bait. Thank God the sign has Thai writing on it. Otherwise, I might think I was in Ohio.

I'd Rather Eat It.

Well, hi there. Do you want to meet my stomach?

Am I The Only One?

Confess. I can't be the only one who asks the waiter to leave the bowl of parmesan at the table, and, after pouring it on my spaghetti, eats it with a spoon? If I am, I wear the badge proudly.

Let's Let The Kid Eat Sugar Balls All Day...What Could Go Wrong?

In the Fifties, one of the things we loved to do as kids, was to eat Fireball candy. Other candies, too. Halloween provided a months long supply of candy; and even though the parental units disapproved, there weren't any real limits on feeding sugar to kids. Now, as an old man, I am trying to make up for those years by not eating sugar anymore. Check out the label on this box of Fireballs: "Sugar, dextrose, corn starch, carnauba wax, etc." What could go wrong?

Uh, Is That Per Package Or For The Whole Store?

Soylent Green is better. It tastes like crackers.

Sometimes You Get The Bear And Sometimes The Bear Gets You.

I tried the vegan lifestyle for about 20 minutes. While I am certain it is healthier, and certainly kinder, and more environmentally friendly, it is definitely more dangerous. It is somewhat like being a pacifist in the middle of a shooting war. If you are afraid of bears, bring a rifle.
