Bowling, Dummies.

Yesterday I was thinking of going to Costco to buy chocolate but decided to go bowling with the Travel League instead. LOL. Now that’s interesting, I wanted to do a g for grin inside brackets but instead got a gift box. Never knew that before. So anyway, it was our Travel League yesterday and we headed off to New Hamburg (about half an hour out of town) and ate at The Old Country Restaurant. Then on to the bowling alley where I tried something slightly new and bowled much better than I did on Monday so I was a happy camper. Sadly Matt was not bowling too well. There is another a very good restaurant in New Hamburg called The Waterlot where we used to go for dinner and often for Sunday brunch. We haven’t been there for years but one of our friends said it is very expensive these days. Pity.

Now here’s an odd article, they are apparently making crash test dummies fatter to match American drivers. It turns out that obese drivers are more at risk of death. They say 35% of drivers are obese. Not exclusive to American drivers of course. Next thing you know there will be diet programmes for crash test dummies. This one on the right certainly looks pretty obese. I hate that word, I'd rather hear fat than obese however medically correct it might be.

These look pretty good, but at 218 calories per serving, not sure I would eat them. Well, not a full serving anyway.
