I agree with George.
I'm real heavy now and not at all comfortable with it and cont figure out
why anyone would want to be comfortable with an unhealthy condition.
Being overweight is not a philosophy. Its a medical problematical situation.
By the end of the summer I'll be happier and thinner and healthier.
Lots of walking. With camera in hand.
But right now its 88f out there and humid. Its a heart attach.
And I cent leave the place became FedEx is bringing my new Markbook Pro.
