Every year Warren Buffett, the richest person in America to make his billions on something other than software we all despise, auctions off the opportunity to dine with him and seven friends at a New York power lunch for charity.

Hundreds of people waited in the freezing cold and rain last night to get free bag of groceries this morning. The giveaway, care of Glide Memorial Church, takes place from 7:30 am until 12:30 in the afternoon today. Each bag has a turkey or chicken, potatoes, bread, pasta, sauce, rice, beans, and a sundry of veggies.
