Filled with rage...and blackberries.

Men's Health Magazine has named Detroit the angriest city in America.. According to the Yahoo news article:

To come up with the rankings, analysts compared aggravated assaults per capita, time spent in traffic during rush hour, the number of people with high blood pressure and the number of anger management specialists per capita for each of the cities.

*sigh* As if Detroit doesn't have ENOUGH of a negative image already! When I was in university, I had friends from New York City who wouldn't go into Detroit, for fear they would be murdered on the spot. THANKS MEN'S HEALTH MAGAZINE! And what can we do for you?

As someone pointed out in the comments, not long ago another super-scientific study was conducted to find America's rudest cities, and Detroit didn't make the list. (Interestingly enough, Anchorage did.) So, we're angry and we're violent, but we are NOT rude! Good to know.

Day 2 and still no sweets. (Still no angst over it, either.) I got some really yummy blackberries at the store. The plan was to eat half tonight and save the rest for breakfast, but those suckers are GONE! Oh man, I cannot WAIT for summer and it's abundance of fresh, local fruit!

Yes, Michigan is rather cold for about 6 months out of the year. But in the summer, it's the humidity that'll keep you away! (Depending on what part of the South you're from. I've been to parts where you could poach an egg, the air was so wet!)
