I read that's a sale of meat. The bin they put it in is a low bin so people were bending and even sitting on the floor trying to get their arm into the bin to get the meat.

I use to go to London, England, fairly regularly as my son has lived there for over 25 years. I would take money to give to them and more money for me to buy stuff for them. At the money change rate, what would cost me $1.00 here would be $1.65/75 over there. That's close to double what I would pay here.

When I took the mom and child and me to a regular lunch place, it was at least $75.00. I would spend $100 for groceries and carry that in my arms, no need for a rolling basket to get to the car.

If one took the American products out of their grocery stores, it would be about 1/2 full without the American products, however the American products were packaged for them and the bottles/cans/whatever would be about 1/2 smaller than we bought here for the same American product.

I understand why a meat sale would have them scrambling for it, no matter what the meat is.

I don't care to live in any other country than this and I've been in many. About that travel: Most of the countries I went to, I wouldn't go today due to the unrest or almost bankrupt the country is now, such as Greece where I wouldn't go again. Wouldn't go to China again. Maybe Germany is okay.

Wouldn't go to Italy again due to the immigrants coming by the boatload to their shores and they don't know how many are terrorists in those groups. Hawaii would be okay, maybe Canada is okay except for the two murderers from Clinton Prison who may be there.

Then there are the planes one has to get on to leave this country. Who wants to fly now with the employees at the airports not catching bombs in luggage and guns on passengers? Plus, they are again lowering the measurements of a bag you can take on board. I'm not flying anymore.

There was a time when I carried a concrete Armadillo to my Texas son in London to put in his garden. I couldn't even lift the bag, men had to lift it onto the belt to go through the scanner. It was so heavy, I wondered if it would bring down the plane. In today's world, I would never get that concrete Armadillo to London.

By the way, the new area they are searching for those murderers, is the area where a close family member lives with her husband, just before one gets to the border of Canada. They have their guns loaded and easy to reach and keep everything locked up.

Our world is nuts these days.
