Darn! Except for Austin, we're probably the leanest city in Texas, which may not be saying much, but it does take me by surprise.

I joined the city credit union, when I started working for the city, and while I'm now retired, I'm still a member of the credit union. So, each year I attend the annual barbecue dinner and meeting that the credit union holds for its members. I attended the one last month, and I don't think I've ever seen so many obese people in my life, and these were all city employees, retirees from the city, or their dependents. No wonder the city, since it subsidizes the health insurance for both its current and former employees, is on a kick to get its employees to live a healthier life style.
