   -gas is ruining a lot of plans.
   Or just making some of us more broke

   -do all birds have a specific purpose or did God get bored?
   Why does everything require a specific purpose?

   -why do my feet smell all the time…good or bad?
   Because you don’t adequately take care of them. Clean them better and keep them well ventilated.

   -when will my knees explode?
   Never, they will implode first. Take care of them more as well.

   -who is our next president…does it really matter anymore?
   Sadly, it probably doesn’t.

   -how far is the float trip from me?
   Close enough.

   -where is she? I’ve been looking for 23 years.
   I’ve been looking for 27. Stop looking, maybe she’ll find you.

   -A movie about Chihuahuas? Seriously…
   This is one reason our next President doesn’t matter. He won’t possibly be interesting enough for most Americans to care.

   -It’s an organized mess….not a mess
   I have no idea.

   -If it wasn’t so expensive to eat healthy, America wouldn’t be so obese…but still pretty bad I’m guessing. Mississippi is 31% obese, Colorado is 18%.
   It’s not actually that much more expensive to eat healthy, it’s just less convenient. The majority of Americans are lazy.

   -I put my name on microchip that is going to Mars…find out more from NASA if you want.
   I look forward to colonizing the land your microchip lands on.

   -Growing up is great and all, but I miss hanging out all the time with you guys.
   It’s only going to get worse too.

   -Life is good
   Yes, it definitely is.

   Dude. The Martians are going to find your name on that microchip and come get you. Fatal error.

   Healthy food doesn’t have to be super expensive. You can grow a garden. Also, if everyone ate better, health insurance would be less expensive, and thus, you’d have more money to spend on food.

   The variety of birds in the world reflect the depth of God’s character.

   -gas is ruining a lot of plans.
   yes, but gas has always been more expensive than this in europe…

   -do all birds have a specific purpose or did God get bored?
   God didn’t have to get bored to be creative

   -why do my feet smell all the time…good or bad?
   not sure…my feet rarely smell…i guess that’s because i shower regularly?

   -when will my knees explode?
   when you strap a stick of dynamite to them

   -who is our next president…does it really matter anymore?
   the democrepublicans will win…i won’t be voting for either of their candidates. Word to the wise….learn to speak Chinese.

   -how far is the float trip from me?
   depends where you are right now…if you’re in washington, about 4.5 hours….but, i’m sure you’ll carpool.

   -where is she? I’ve been looking for 23 years.
   she’s probably in china.

   -A movie about Chihuahuas? Seriously…
   my thoughts exactly. could not believe that preview.

   -It’s an organized mess….not a mess
   i don’t think i’ve ever really pulled that concept off…always just a mess.

   -If it wasn’t so expensive to eat healthy, America wouldn’t be so obese…but still pretty bad I’m guessing. Mississippi is 31% obese, Colorado is 18%.
   yeah, i think laziness is more of the problem…convenience is key.

   -I put my name on microchip that is going to Mars…find out more from NASA if you want
   haha…fatal error…

   -Growing up is great and all, but I miss hanging out all the time with you guys.
   indeed…come to the vifl float!

   -Life is good
   agreed

   -yes, but gas has always been more expensive than this in europe… (says Leo)

   This is an invalid argument. European public transport systems (trains, buses, etc) are much more advanced and well thought out than ours. On top of that, the distances that we drive without really thinking about are very abnormal to Europeans.
   Example:
   Our float trip is about 4 and a half hours from Washington. Definitely not something we do every day but not really something we look at as a gigantic trip. It’s also about the same distance to Kansas City or Chicago. All trips that we make pretty easily.

   - London (UK) to Paris (France), 5 hours
   - Barcelona (Spain) to Marseilles (France), 4.5 hours
   - Bologna (Italy) to Munich (Germany), 5 hours
   - Zurich (Switzerland) to Munich (Germany), 3 hours

   Our state of Missouri (that I used to travel end-to-end like it was nothing) is 70,000 square miles (rounded up). The country of England? 50,000 square miles.

   People don’t really fathom how gigantic the United States is.

   The size of the U.S. also helps explain why we can’t ever agree on anything. The European Union barely works with 9 major countries and 11 smaller ones (I think) of distinctly different peoples because they can’t agree on anything. We have 50 states who try to do the same thing as those 20.

   Unbelievably better rail system in Europe. A few weeks ago I rode the Amtrak from KC to Washignton…took freaking 7.5 hours. That’s roughly an average of 25 mph. While in Europe in 06 we rode a train from Munich, Germany to Salzburg, Austria that was cruising at 175 mph for 95% of the trip. I got my Amtrak ticket last minute, so I’d bet the prices were actually pretty comparable.

   We need trains like that!
