FACT:
Some people store more and burn less than others based on their Genetics. Then there are those that pig out and sit on their growing Butts and blame the world for it.

But misusing the excuse of Racism has made the term RACIST meaningless and little more than a catch-all whine for too many.

If, I was of a race that had real foundational racism still applied against it by others, like is done in Africa / Mid-east / Asia and Eur-Asia still today. I'd be pissed every time some yahoo "played" the Race Card for attention.

#5 It's not just those of African heritage. The Navajo in the four corners suffered sever Covid consequence because they as a population are obese and suffer with elevated diabetes. The lands have never been a haven of bountiful agriculture. The introduction of readily available and accessible food has intersected with a body that evolved to pull every last bit of nutritional substance to ward off famine.

#6 I met Shiloh Lakota yesterday a native of North Dakota. Loves to fish and has several records to her name. Bad knees and bad back but lives on. I spoke of two cowboys I had met some time ago. She said they are full of life, drink, fights and so on.

#8 Wikipedia:

Semaglutide, sold under the brand names Ozempic, Wegovy and Rybelsus, is an antidiabetic medication used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and as anti-obesity medication for long-term weight management, developed by Novo Nordisk in 2012.

I mentioned it to my endocrinologist, Penguin, who said that for at least the next 12-18 months they are having trouble producing enough of this and other diabetic medications for already diagnosed diabetic patients. Until that acute need is covered, the merely overweight and pre-diabetic will have to wait, Also, it is supposed to be coupled with exercise and a moderate diet, so it may well first be recommended for use in a controlled setting.

#10 I propose that I be placed on the Presidential Council on Physical Fitness where I would seek a national moratorium on shirts and skins pick-up basketball until this can all be worked out.

Shiloh Lakota of North Dakota
broke every Dakota record.
Tough as nails, she never fails,
she's like a Toyota Accord.

😁 My little hat tip to your friend, Dale.

#12 Search on Shiloh Lakota comes up, uh, inconclusive.

#14 Locally compounding pharmacists are mixing b12 with semaglutide, and it's 1/10th the cost. Quite effective, I instruct patients to only put 1/3rd usual portion size on plate or be very uncomfortable after eating. Slows gastric emptying initially, then induces early satiety. Not seen loss of efficacy like with traditional drugs.

#16 I don’t know about small circuit performers elsewhere, but here in Cincinnati groups are continually forming and reforming, individuals flowing from one group to the next — like Monty Python’s Toad the Wet Sprocket. And everyone has CDs now — at minimum something recorded in the basement, created on the household computer, artwork by Cousin Suzie — to send to bar owners before signing a contract and for selling to fans at the bar between sets for a little extra profit. Or rent a studio for a day and pay an artist or photographer to create something higher quality. Not many nowadays get the major studio treatment that used to be standard.

#18 Lakota are red
And Dale is true blue,
Unless he's a Rooskie...
But that's okay too!

Have always enjoyed Dale's Terkelesque reportage (and of course the perennial puzzle of the precise nature of his employment (not asking!)).
