Single Mom

While life, liberty and equality have been around in the press for a few decades now I always find it amusing to read stories of single moms.

To me they are unmentionable but for some reason they get the headlines.  A single mother of three was selling her underwear to feed the family of five.  Well my point is that there are five people in the family including her husband who is the single husband she has ever had.  Conversely she has been the single wife in keeping with the spirit of do you take this man and not returning him during the annual village garage sale (she originally picked him up at one in someone's driveway).

So the kids are fortunate to have a single mom and single dad rather than being confused by the state of affairs.  In certain states and countries it might be expressly forbidden to mention such news items because there could be a contradiction of terms.

While not a lesbian arrangement there could be a situation where multiple wives are involved and that could lead to statements like - one of the mothers of this family was involved in a fatal car crash (for both car and mother) and the other mothers and wives to a Jogi Donovan have decide to setup a memorial fund for her children.  They really doted that car.

Sometimes there is confusion over which are her children but in order to bring them solace regardless a candle and cow-dung paddy light vigil is being held outside the red barn.  More light will thus be shed on the situation in which the Donovan family finds themselves.

The children meantime have needed much counseling in this moment of grief and have not spoken out to the media about the abhorrent conditions in which they were treated.  Some claimed later to our own Quack Stewonz that one weekend they were only provided a meal of Seaweed and Chiclets with Pumpkin flavor.

Costa Rica

 Our first foray into Central America. That elongated isthmus that forms the geographic boundary between two vast continents of North and South America. Specifically landing for NYE 2026 in San Jose, Costa Rica. Capital city for this region that does not have its own army, instead relying on its big bro the Estados Unidos to the north is a metropolis of approx. 500K people. Largely wilderness and with both a Pacific and Carribean/Atlantic coast the country is rich in bio diversity. In Spanish it means the rich coast so named by Columbus landing in early 16th century and being mesmerized by the local tribes sporting gold jewelry.   Our stay included visiting the foothills of a large strato volcano called Arenal and enjoying the naturally heated thermal baths for a while.  Lunching amidst lush forest and watching indigenous species of avian noise makers fly overhead. Toucans, some sort of pea hens, multiple song bird species completed the spectacle. Iguanas and a lonel...

Charges attract

It is said that opposites attract meaning people with contrary viewpoint sometimes find chemistry to be together.  But I'm referring to a modern twist where people are merely attracted towards a common place because their uber communication device aka smart phone is about to die.  The charging station. From airports to hotel lobbies or even bathrooms, when in need they are attracted to this power outlet like moths to a flame or a junkie to a needle. A whole new business of supplying these hyper connected folks is now born whose lifesaver product is a backup charge. Asian tourists perpetually carry a phone sized battery pack stuck to their latest Apple phone updating their status to folks in Hong Kong or Shanghai or Bangalore as they pose for selfies with weird facial expressions and fingers pointed out in a letter V. Vain? PS:  I dis'charged' my blogger duties making this insightful observation as my phone is about to breathe it's last and my flight gets call...

Veni Vidi and Videod

Julius Ceasar is credited with a Latin phrase that reads - Veni, Vidi, Vici as in he came, he saw and he conquered. The summer vacation for the child meant we needed to do what we do as an annual event.  Go see a new place.  Italy won the draw this year. So we went for a couple weeks.  To check out the land of fairy tales, of great warriors and amazing inventions; birthplace of Christianity and its current CEO, land of Romeo and Juliet, a land in many ways similar to our home state of California. In terms of its geography and populations and their respective shapes CA resembles Italy a lot.  Both have a grand coastline, they both have multi cultural groups of people residing in its lands and mountains, both have northern edges covered by snow covered high mountain ranges that are formed of volcanic and tectonic activity over millenia. What we do not have in the Golden State is the renaissance, the art, the history.  It was a particular interest of our d...
