Working in healthcare geared toward poorer patient populations, I was not surprised to see the web searches toward diabetes, hypertension and diet in the hard-living population.  The Antichrist surprised me, though.

Don't feel too bad, Obama surprised a lot of people.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams

Oh, that was a slow floater, right over the plate.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Hmm.

Look through the "12 hardest places to live" slideshow at the link.

Not a bit of it looks unusual to me.

Maybe I'll do a web search on .38 revolver now.
In thy presence is fulness of joy.
At thy right hand pleasures for evermore.

In the hardest places to live in the United States, people spend a lot of time thinking about diets and religion. In the easiest places to live, people spend a lot of time thinking about cameras.

Yep.  Some people need real problems.
In thy presence is fulness of joy.
At thy right hand pleasures for evermore.
