” Local villagers were doing brisk business selling instant noodles, boxed lunches and snacks, weaving between the parked trucks on bicycles.”

...it’s good to see free enterprise blossoming...and the beauty part is that it’s a fast CASH business...no paperwork!

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don’t be afraid of the dark

At the end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of the lark

Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk on walk on with hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk alone
You’ll never walk alone

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don’t be afraid of the dark

At the end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of the lark

Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk on walk on with hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk alone
You’ll never walk

You’ll never walk
You’ll never walk alone.

It would get even worse if I was there, when they realized my car wasn’t moving because I blew my head off.

Ah, the legendary efficiency of Maoist communism in action. Are we sure these are the same people who made that really cool shovel?

When I was kid growing up in Northern Va, a friend and I once cooked 200 hot dogs, wrap them in foil and put them in white styrofoam coolers. We strapped them to our bikes and sold them at $2 a piece on 95 when it was gridlocked. No condiments, no soda, just hot dogs. We cleared about $360 in 1 hour!

At least the traffic there moves faster than lines at the US Post Office. I can’t wait for Obamacare to kick in.
