Arjun's before Levis

So continuing to ruminate on the theme of how life was 3k years before the carpenter made an appearance is endlessly fascinating.

Once kings started realizing the delays caused on the tarmac before war were due to ketchup spills on fine silk which itself posed other strategic challenges during action, someone came up with Arjuns.  This was the name given to a piece of durable and long wear cloth that did not need washing since everything looked haute couture.

It was later misspelled as Jeans by Levis.  During the days of Mahabharata folks had already discovered Rjuns.  That Arjun later got royalties after the war was over was oversimplifying.  He therefore had the best deal going with Draupadi - with fine wine and dining any time she desired -who found that the other four were not as enterprising as Arjun spending time in '23 hour fitness' et al.  The remaining one hour each on average was spent with Draupadi if you know what I mean.

Kaikeyi was always in hospital growing up since she hit the all time high of delivring a 100 kids that were battle ready... so it is surprising that she was also able to pull off back seat politics with Shakuni as the PM.

I mean Kaikeyi's pregnancies should be part of any defense contractor how-to training material.  Forget Sun Tsu and others who simply wrote some drivel.  This was actual production scale fully deployable army.

The blue denim now so famously popular was thanks to a patent that Krishna had filed knowing what was to come before anyone did.  This is where his skin tone played a crucial role and everyone wanted to look like him.  Krishna let Arjun use the color for his new fabric brand after winning the war.  That was all part of the deal.

It was going to be called Krishan Arjuns and company but accidentally they speared the only CPA at the time and the incorporation never took place.

Shakuni tried to get into the gig being an accountant in former life but was disqualified due to his crimes against humanity.

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
