Rain and Burgers

Yes, rain is annoying. The warmer weather is here and you can't enjoy it because its raining outside. It bugs people and they moan and complain about the rain.


The fact of the matter is, without all the rain we get in the spring our farms could not grow the crops we need to eat in the summer. The rain fills the water table to the brim so we can make withdrawals from it all summer long. Without the rain in the spring we would be living in a brown and yellow dustbowl by August.


People understand this when you explain it to them yet they still whine later on. We're a very shortsighted species, more concerned with immediate gratification than proper planning and long term gain.


Speaking of such:



Hardee's has created a new hamburger sure to make carnivores come running.


The fast-food chain's Monster Thickburger features two one-third-pound Angus-beef patties, four bacon strips, three slices of cheese and mayonnaise served on a buttered sesame-seed bun, reports MSNBC.com.


[...]


[O]ne Monster Thickburger contains twice the recommended daily allowance of saturated fat and almost a day's worth of sodium, notes MSNBC.com.


Need I say more?
