Day of Mourning

I live in California and today I felt saddened by what the media reported..this is not what I live for. 1. Rice contains arsenic and consuming it daily is going to kill me soon - now I have to go back to downing more alcohol by skipping all the fermentation that I was doing naturally by eating rice daily; 2. Zuckerberg is now the 36th richest (not paying attention or taxes) dude amongst all dudes and dudettes that live - see I hate to see my state lose the top 10 ranking in anything including the number of richest dudes in the state - cramps my style; 3. Neither contender for the top job as Pres has what it takes to fix this mess we are in..we are not even sure what we need.. for that matter we are stuck trying to define what a need is. Indeed. 4. There will be no shuttle - not the cock - the one that flies further than the cock variety - to the Intl Space Station and back. Last one is coming to roost in Los Angeles - interested parties can watch it fly piggy back on a Boeing (shuttle not the parties) in their neighborhood if they are part of the 99% and therefore jobless. There will however be parties to celebrate that last flight. 5. 99% of something believers celebrated a year of rallying and vigils about their dissatisfaction with something that is 1% of some other thing. On a separate note Romney announced knowledge of some other 47% that are neither the 99% or the 1% since the latter is physically impossible. The other 53% agreed that such comments were 100% moronic. I have 0% energy left to discuss anything anymore.

New England is gleaming in the fall

 This autumn the weather gods cooperated as we took a family trip in the northeast to see six states that qualify or makeup what is known colloquially in America as New England. Mass, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode Island (tiniest state in the union). The outing helped tally up the states we either lived in, visited or have worked in to 47. Guess which three have eluded this intrepid traveling family. Any rate the drive was all in about 1,800 miles and included some memorable geographic wonders or points of interest.  Easternmost part of state of Massachusetts being one.  Furthest drivable road east in Mass being another. Visit to all Ivy League schools (term harkens to a collegiate athletics conference and generally regarded as elite academic institutes of some repute worldwide) is another random bucket list item of which this trip afforded the chance to knock two more of the list.  Dartmouth in Hanover, NH and Brown (and its sister institute the RISD  - school f

Searching for a lavish 'fill in the blank with other adjectives and gender' in bed

 Many of the readers of this blog have experienced this. Strange sounding messages popping up in your text or WA or emails all day long from some exotic sounding locale with an out of this world individual looking for love, sex, money or other paraphernalia to get a high. I mean granted that electronic spamming is a low cost enterprise and all but the sheer volumes and the variety in these exhortations is beyond imagination. Having a desire to engage you in some sort of sexual payola or invest in some arcane crypto scheme must be a profound algorithm that someone from Oklahoma to Odessa is cranking on through the night and watching one in a few million fall for. Otherwise this nonsense would not exist I suspect. It would be funny to watch the lifecycle of some such persona that creates said content and that of a prospect for this invite becoming an unwilling or willing participant. Then that whole thing could go on some social channel and earn likes and subscriptions for someone else a

Lakeside frivolities

 We moved to the Charlotte area not knowing where exactly our new home would be. Turns out it was by a popular lake formed by the damming of the Catawba river which flows north to south in the Carolinas. Local electricity generation utility built a series of dams along the waterway for hydro and couple nuclear plants as well to supply the state grid.  The lake our house butts into is Lake Wylie. While tract home build has picked up in the Carolinas the developer often carves out parcels that they can get their hands on leaving behind privately owned lots that the individual owner may not want to sell. Our house is part of a subdivision but backs into actual lake front yardage that has always been part of legacy family owned properties who chose to build a cabin or getaway and did not sell to a corporation wanting to build in the hundreds. As such we can see the water through the year but it does not afford actual water access.  That privilege is to our neighbors who still maintain thei
