At roughly 6:26am this morning, the US crossed the 300 million threshold in population according to an online countdown site. Of course there is a site for this. There’s a site for EVERYTHING! Houston Strategies documented it with screen caps. I, of course, was asleep when this happened.
I’m sure I’ve been awake for many of the last 100 million + but I’m not terribly sentimental on things like, “Hey, look, my odometer just hit 77777!” So, getting up before 7am to ring in the fatness of our nation didn’t seem like much fun.
Not sure if a celebration or mourning is in order…
