I mentioned in another thread that I went to a MN Twins baseball game last Sunday. Since about February, 2020, I've pretty much stayed away from crowds. Being in a large crowd literally stunned my senses. I've read over and over again how overweight the American public is; some figures cited are 40% of the population is morbidly obese. I could not believe my eyes how many really, really fat people were at that ballgame. I have my own brand of selective perception, but I think the percentage of obese women I saw far exceeds the percentage of men.
I'm going to drop 15 lbs. as fast as my body will allow it.
Incidentally, at the ballpark a hamburger is $15.00; 16 oz. bottle of water $7.00. One of the guys with whom I went to the game ate three burgers w/fries and a beer with each burger; figured he spent $100 on chow.
While I'm thinking about the ballgame: We took the lite rail to the ballpark. In Mps-St.Paul if you have a service connected V.A. Health I.D., you ride free. It wasn't checked until we got off the train. There was no security check entering the ballpark; no metal detector, no body scan, etc. Anyone could have entered the ballpark carrying a concealed firearm.
On the train, there were many people sleeping. It's become a homeless encampment. There was no security on the train.
