Just reaffirming that I am simple

Star log entry:
Star date - 04/03/08
Star time - 0550 (that's 5:50 AM to you and me)
Star place - Sharpsburg

What began as what can only be described as a partially cloudy and mild morning, quickly turned into a partially cloudy and mild mid-morning. Rain is in the forecast, but our supplies are low and it is welcome.

Running is going well; the inspiration from witnessing last weekend's Atlanta marathon is still lingering. My mileage is slowly climbing, my weight is slowly dropping, the economy slowly withers, and a partridge in a pear tree.

I'm working on an idea for some sort of a strip that you put under your tongue, and then you compare its colors to a chart on the bottle. In short order, you receive an accounting of any deficiencies in your diet, and maybe even any chemical imbalances. Or, a talking strip reader may be the way to go. A soft southern accent could tell you:

"Y'all need a little vitamin C, some of Grandma's okra, just a smidge of ginkgo biloba, some lithium, half a fried green tomato, and two scoops of metamucil; Y'all follow that recipe and you'll feel better than a ring tail possum in a bag of eucalyptus leaves."

Peace be with you.
