What Surplus?

.
American Surplus

Not balance of payments. We have a big deficit there. Same for the federal budget. On the other hand, we have an enormous excess of questionable things to eat. The country has a big surplus of burgers, fries, chips, cola with high fructose corn syrup, Ding Dongs, Cap'n Crunch, corn dogs, Cheesy Poofs, chicken wings, fried pies, cheap pizza, pancakes 'n' butter, Velveeta and baloney. And you can super size that. One could go on.

I wonder what's inside. Maybe nothing. Couldn't tell if this building was abandoned or not.

This was found on an empty stretch of North Broadway in the quiet of Stupid Bowl Sunday. Dinner at Aya Sofia was terrific and we certainly recommend it. And I hear New York won the game. Olivier is happy, although I bet he was up most of the night in front of a television.

    I like abandoned (or not) old buildings like these. As for surplus, don't you think most of us have surplus of just about everything?

    One thing of which there is not a surplus in that neighborhood is people.

    Your list of junk food is enough to make me feel sick just reading it. I'm sure you had a healthy dinner at Aya Sophia - congratulations on not following the Supersize Bowl. How big a group did you end up having?

    PS - we used to have American Suplus shops in France in France too. In fact I believe they still exist. I have no idea how successful they are nowadays but I believe the demand for battledress pants and laced boots never faded. Not sure about American flags though?
