Look How Quickly the U.S. Got Fat

Watch this CDC map change from 1985 to 2010 -and get more colorful along the way. It shows the percentage of people medically defined as obese. Obesity was once an odd condition, but for the U.S. it just gets more common every year. The Atlantic has a list of the metropolitan areas that have the lowest and highest rates of obesity. Moving to Colorado will only help if you are willing to climb mountains, hike, and ski. Link

(not kidding) It actually looks like an old boot scraper. When people road horses in town, the roads would be full of droppings. Consequently, boot scrapers were placed at the front door, next to the mat. This way you wouldn't stomp the droppings into the mat when wiping your feet on it.

Run Dack, Run!
