Question Everything

I think we have long turned into zombies. I mean 'we' the human race.

Take for example the association of the words 'human race'. What the heck does that mean? Does any one know? Doubt it. Why race? Are we in a race?

If so who is organizing this one? Is it a slur? If so how come its in colloquial use? Are we still in the 1800s? I don't think so but who cares?

Well folks - I have to break this to you but we as a species are clueless of most things that are going on around us and just assume we know a lot. That in my book is IGNORANCE and ARROGANCE. Both sorta go hand in hand as far as us mortals are concerned.

Having nightmares about this whole diatribe? Well, what the heck are nightmares? Are there dayhorses to go with them? Can there be some nightstallions waiting to do their bit somewhere? What about this bias in an equal opportunity nation?

How do daymares compare to their other halves I ask? Anybody know?

As you can tell I am always thinking of such profound subject matter when I am awake, which I try to minimize since there is not much of anything going on that interests me anyway.

People are spending hours staring at a phone or computer or TV or game device screens these days wanting to socially connect and network when their living, breathing brethren are right next to them on the same damn couch doing the same (if they have more than one person in that couch or home as the case may be).

Not much going on I say.

Oh the bogus lexicon of the day - Social Networking, Global Economy, Bipartisan Agreements, Real Time, Ding Dong, what ever!

Have you actually questioned if any of this has made the species (aka human race) better than it was 100 years ago? Are we living happier and healthier?

Penicillin and Polio Vaccines were needed; but was Facebook needed too?
Do we actually need 5 devices each to connect to each other electronically since we have lost the ability to speak human to human when we are together?

Must be a case of strong BO because I cannot think what would alienate humans the way they have been today?

Or do we think that yakking ourselves out to somebody on the other side is actually a productive use of our collective time? Why not go on a complete silence period and see what happens? No stupid weather forecasts for starters. Why do you need dressed up goofs stare at us pointing here and there and describe some cloud movement like a fairy tale narration to Kindergarten students?

No more news channels. There is not much going on of relevance anyway.

Think about it!

Of chocolates

I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.

Columbia SC

 The Palmetto state.  One of the confederate kinds. History dating couple centuries back.  We visited the capital yet again this time to take in the SC State Museum. Occupying the former digs (literally remodeled) of an erstwhile cotton mill this structure is an amazing piece of reimagination.  Four floors of excitement for kids and young at heart alike. Located on the shores of the Congaree River formed when the Broad meets up with the Saluda River, this edifice is approx. 60 years old.  The front of the building has a more modern planetarium that was added about a decade ago.  The museum itself has different areas of interest segregated on each of its four floors. The first floor has gift shop and a diorama of some of the local geography including the swamps and the state beaches with audio guides to help understand what fauna thrives locally. The second floor is all about natural history and showcases animal kingdom that may have survived on this latitud...

Gab about Gaps

There are a number of news stories these days where conversation inevitably turns to discussing some sort of GAP - Gap between rich and poor is growing Gap is losing market share to other clothiers The Dow is Gapping Down (so is the NASDAQ) and the dollar is Gapping Up The guy who advised British public over the PA on dangers of tube travel with the phrase 'MIND THE GAP' has died There is a frightening Gap between our Debts and Savings Gap between Executive pay and Average worker salary is at an all time high All I am doing is listening to all this unfold with my mouth aGAPe. What me worry?
