Life Expectancy

I found this article when I was checking my email. Basic summary, different geographic areas and different groups of people in the US have very different life expectancy rates. By very different I mean like 30 years different. I encourage you to actually read the article, it's pretty short. The fact that there are disparities does not surprise me; what I found remarkable was which groups had the higher life expectancy.

I got sick. Strepp throat. Thanks Zac.
You see, he got sick and then I got sick. Then he got really sick and I suspected strepp throat which meant that I might have it too. So we went to the doctor together, but I waited to get on the waiting list when we found out his results. His results came back positive, so I went in next - positive. But you already knew that. Antibiotics work wonders though, and I think that come tomorrow I'll be up and about mostly like normal. The good news, that Zac doesn't like, is that since he gave it to me, I got onto antibiotics before my throat ever even got sore. Haha! Guess I shouldn't laugh, but yeah I will.
Someone in my apartment complex seems to be trying to start a garage band. For a few days now they've been playing that darned electric guitar every morning for the whole complex to hear. Then this morning, when I couldn't figure out if it was just someone playing for themselves or if they were actually trying to make a band of it, I heard singing. No, not singing, I heard screeching. Whatever it was, it was my clue that it wasn't going to end any morning soon. What kind of a rock band practices in the morning? I'm sure one of these days an old lady or someone who works all night is going to complain to the landlady.
