McDonald's
I notice that the McDonald's sign advertises "Over 99 Billion Served" as I ride the bus passed it every work day. It has said this for many years. The number rose steadily for years, then, just stopped when the maximum number of digits was reached.
I don't think too much about this kind of thing most of the time, but then I found my self considering the implications of a statement such as "Over 99 Billion Served."
The current world population is 6,408,742,793, or there abouts. How can McDonald's have served more people, many times more people in fact, than there are on the planet?
I got to thinking that 99+ Billion must refer to the number of HAMBURGERS served. Even with this clarification, it is really hard to imagine. This means that each and every man woman and child on EARTH, in countries that I have never even contemplated, speaking languages that I wouldn't recognize, that I have never known existed, each one is responsible for more than 15 hamburgers!

Okay, first Matt has music on this show
So go listen to that. It has some 8 songs called "Christmas in Seattle"
Also,
"Authorities late Friday said a Kansas woman who had a miscarriage earlier this year confessed to strangling a pregnant Missouri woman in her home and then cutting the baby from her womb -- a crime the local sheriff described as the most gruesome he had ever seen."
Merry Christmas

Does anyone have a scanner?
I am looking for a scanner so that I can post all sorts of nice things for all of, both of you.
I don't know that it will ever happen. I have gone through several notebooks, "solo-blogging" on the bus every day. But now I don't know what to do with it. I don't want to type it all up because most of it isn't THAT good. Still, I want to keep you up to date on life and all.
I also really want to share cool things I find on the ground and such. I found a piece of a photograph the other day, for example. that is always much more interesting that a full photograph.
I think that it really sucks that Bush was reelected. I think that it is really funny that we don't have a governer yet. Funny in that scary and sad way. I think that it is amazing how quickly we forgot all about politics. I think that it is strange that I am the "drinker" in my peer group.
Fax me stuff 206 282 0983. Send it Attn: JW. I'll scan it, when I get a scanner and post it here.

And though you have dented my long isolation
So Moongear is the new Girl in the Cafeteria. So if anyone who isn't actually involved in writing and performing the song hasn't heard it, go to frequentseahorse.biz to listen.

Sorry
It has been a while. I have purchased a Marble Print notebook, so I keep my journal up to date, but it is usually not posted, what with the Composition Book not being wired to the internet.
