I walked up to the bucket, used the tongs to grab a couple of chips and looked down to see a little boy staring at the chip bucket. I gave him my chips first and then got some for myself. Must be the "new dad" in me.

You might be safe with that at Whole Foods.

But at WalMart, the kid's dad might have punched you out!

What do the people from PA have to say about that?

Thanks for asking. I looked at http://www.nma.org/pdf/c_production_state_rank.pdf

I did not know that 40% of U.S. coal production (2009) comes from Wyoming.
All coal isn't the same, out west the coal has a lower BTU vaule, but it not as hard to mine. It's closer to the surface. and the coal seams are much thicker, making it much cheaper to mine. Jim

Today I was in the hospital for a blood test. I was falling asleep in the waiting area so long I have been waiting then I see an old lady with a walker (walking very slow and with great difficulty) heading to the labyrinth the middle of the hospital is.

I hear she asking but not to a precise person where is the 1250? Nobody answer... I look at the laboratory room number and I see 1400; I say to myself she is going in the wrong direction .

I stand up and I ask her to wait right there until I could find that room number. It happened to be just at the entrance in the opposite direction she was walking and not far. That hospital is made like a star, once you go in you can walk a lot before returning to the place you enter.

I informed her where was the room 1250 and helped her to take the good direction, she was waking so slow I was feeling for her.

I'm glad I had to wait those 1.5 hours for my blood test, I was able to help that lady. While walking back to her I was so thankful I'm still able to walk fast, I know how bad it's when you can't do it.
