06 Jul 08 The Daily Plate
I’ve slipped a little bit the last couple of days. Not too badly though, I hope.
Yesterday, we grilled out with the neighbors, and I was good and only had a salmon steak and some salad for dinner, but afterwards the three beers weren’t really a good choice, but enjoyable nonetheless.
I did decline dessert though (although for me that’s mostly easy).
This afternoon, after working with a client, I got dragged screaming to a local bar and force fed two beers, and ten wings.
After getting home it was grilling time again, with a lean steak, and some more salad. At least things like burgers (with associated buns and cheese) weren’t involved, nor were any fries, or loaded baked potatoes or chips.

21 Jun 08 Ford Out, Toyota In
Ford has spent the last thirty years moving many of its factories out of the US , claiming they can’t make money paying American wages.
TOYOTA has spent the last thirty years building more than a dozen plants inside the US Paying American wages.
The last quarter’s results:
TOYOTA makes 4 billion in profits while Ford racked up 9 billion in losses.
Ford folks are still scratching their heads.
IF THIS WEREN’T TRUE, IT MIGHT BE FUNNY.
