‘Face is going to watch the dreems...This has NOT been one of my better days, so I’m going to listen to The Stig as he sings his sweet little songs to me.

Life is good when we appreciate the benefits.

Hugs to all....

I’m sorry you’ve had a rough day, and I’ll ask for angels to sing you sweet little songs along with The Stig.

So I just got done reading "Cowboy Chicken Comes To Town" which is a short story of a fast food restaurant coming to Communist China.

Crazy stuff. Old lady so fascinated by a paper napkin with flowers stamped on it that she doesn't want to use it because she thinks that somebody laboriously stitched the flower pattern on it. People eating cheesecake with chopsticks. A wedding party held there because American fast food is so...exotic!

Well I thought it was interesting. Even though the premise of the short story was evidently to show the "evils" of capitalism imposed on a socialist society, it is clear that fast food fried chicken is a major step up for most of the Chinese people featured in this story.
