So it was interesting article in the Wall Street Journal today...
There is an obesity problem in the U.S.
But the statistics in terms of the typical sizes of fashion (for women) has been "largely" overlooked.
The biggest size most fashion brands even bother to sell is: 12
"Only 7% of womenswear stocked at multi-brand retailers is a size 14 or above."
But the average American dress size is between between 16 and 18!
The typical runway model is size 2.
BTW, I think men have the same problem with sizing.
There was another thing about measurement in the WSJ today having to do with measuring time.
Day is measured by the earth rotation (on its axis).
Year by the rotation around the sun.
Month by rotation of the moon.
Earth, Sun, and Moon...give us time.
Now we need to take all the wonderful time we have measured and not spend it all eating. ;-)

Sizing Fashion And More
In honor of the solar eclipse tomorrow, the local grocery store was selling these cool celebratory pies!
Everyone is excited about this eclipse that is cutting a path across the U.S.
The last one that did this was almost 100 years ago in 1918.
It's a magnificent thing to see two amazing and large celestial spheres like this literally cross paths.
"Hi sun."
"Hello moon."
"Nice to meet you!"
We are so small in the realm of these universal things...it's almost funny how big we think we are.
Yet, we have so much ambition and desire to be bigger--to solve problems, innovate, and delve into the depths of the sea and to the far reaches of heavens.
You can blot out the sun, but we'll still figure out all the details on precisely when, where, and which goo goo goggles to wear so we don't hurt our eyes. ;-)
