about the yellow cars. They were the most likely to be driven into by other cars because people tend to look at yellow cars and you tent to drive toward what you look at. I found that out just before encountering a bright yellow Lamborghini on a very narrow 4 lane, twisty new england road and had to drive next to one for several miles and was paranoid that I'd just smack right into it while I was ogling it. So I tried not to ogle, but how often do I get to see lamborghinis? Hummers too often, L's not so much.
Pretty much the whole boomer generation was bottle fed because "studies" from the formula companies said it was healthier and "more regular" for the babies. Uh huh. Yet I don't see any evidence that the boomers are any smarter or dumber in aggregate than any other generation (except these darn kids! just kidding. But stay off my grass!).
Did they correllate the fall from dominance of the british empire to the lead based face and hair powder that was in style for years? We know it's bad for us, but just how bad to see it as a population shift? And the black, sooty air when people used coal furnaces and fireplaces? Horrendous. Probably dumbed people down, lack of oxygen to the brain. We have more to do for cleaning up pollution, but like dinosaur farts, I don't think cow farts are causing global warming. Maybe a typhoon here and there if the fart hits a butterfly in brazil?
Ok, I'm in a postprandial ramble, clearly.
