I've got a stiff one today - my knee, that is. Whatever else at my age? Hopefully a few days not running will sort it out.
Just spent all morning doing some data migration for just one user. That's not an efficient way to spend my time, not when there's other things to do as well.
I read an article this morning about why we should eat less meat. There's not enough time/space to go into the details, but suffice to say I don't agree with the basic premise, although I do appreciate the problem. To say the cutting back on meat will solve most of the issues around food production, world hunger, mis-labelling scandals, environmental issues such as nitrogen run-off is a bit of a joke and unfortunately taking this type of stance just entrenches views like it did mine. It's not as if the writer was a nerdy left wing liberal (although he might have been), he was a professor of something or other so should be able to put a good argument forward. Unfortunately he came across as if he was employed by a cereal business such was his extreme point of view. Not that he was extreme in the 'do it or die' type of extremism, but his savaging of the meat industry was just that bit too much for me. He must be a veggie. ..and that's another issue. I have this in-built association of vegetarians with 'weirdos', which is based on absolutely nothing, and in fact most of the vegetarians I know are quite ordinary people (even if they are a bit pasty looking). See! there I go again, stereotyping.
Now, where did I put my sandals?
