In an unscientific survey (okay, I googled Nestle Purina PetCare annual sales a few minutes ago) I have discovered that pet food and paraphernalia are an extremely lucrative business venture. Purina alone had global revenue of USD $12.5B in 2010, which is Big Business with a pair of capital B's. When you think about how many companies are in the pet care business, the revenue must be staggering.
If only I'd known. I love animals. I could have been the one to make all that cash, if only I'd thought of gourmet pet stuff sooner. Now the market is awash with premium options, and although pulling back on buying homes and other frills, people continue to spend money on their pets, making someone else rich beyond my wildest fantasies. I am always a day late and a dollar short. Story of my life.

Paying the piper...
I just want to go on the record right now as having said, "I told you so." When winter finally arrives, and it will, one way or another, we are going to regret this little weather holiday from reality, guaranteed. Of course, in the meantime, I, for one, am seriously enjoying it. I'm not stupid. I take the good with the bad every time.
I have been waiting for global warming to come to flyover land for quite awhile now, and it seems my wish may finally have come true. (If I'd known wishes were being granted, I would have asked for something more practical, like a Swiss bank account, but oh well.)
