Sardinians come up a bit short.

I’m either getting taller. Or the people around me are getting shorter. I guess it’s the latter. Yes, I’ve noticed that many Sardinians are very short. Especially the women. I mean that being four-foot-six or even less isn’t all that unusual. And I can be in a roomful of people. And I may be the tallest one around. I’m just barely under six feet tall. Which I consider average for an American man. My true love tells me it’s probably in the Sardinia make-up. In the genes. But she also suspects that Sardinians may have gone through tough times. In which they didn’t get adequate nutrition. My true love is a bit over five feet tall. Which makes her a towering giant compared to many Sardinian women. –Jim Broede
