Hush! Secret Burials et al

Muammar Ghadaffi was buried in a secret location. Osama got a burail at sea. No latitudes and longitude data available at time of burial - sorry!

Such vapid headlines are all the rage in today's Facebook and News ADD obsessed world.

First of all how many of the now approaching 7 Billion folks know who Ghadaffi was? Who amongst them want to know his current state (living or comatose or dead)? Of those who then want to know his whereabouts after he apparently left the land of the living. What possible reasons could the wanting to know have specifically?

Leave candles?

Leave unused ammo (its pointless now that the DUDE is gone) at his memorial?

Could not wave iPads so perhaps wave gold plated handguns?

Steal body parts and auction them on eBay?

If either was true it would really amount to nothing spectacular other than affirm the spirit of democracy and capitalism. So I find the whole exercise ironic.

    Perhaps relevant to the people he allegedly tortured. They may want to confirm he's gone.

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...
