  2. yeh they're actually looking more like weeds on closer inspection.
     
  3. Sales at food stores fell 1%. Sales at restaurants and bars rose 0.2%

    -----------------------

  4. Americans will still be lazy... No matter how bad the economy is. Pay an extra buck or 2 for someone else to cook your meal vs shopping and having to cook and clean up.

    Gotta love that American attitude. lol
