A hair warmer

That is what the meteorologist said last night about today's temperatures. Heck I had to even triple check the spelling of this important sounding profession before I began the arduous task of venting about this profession -- again.

Now remember when they say its going to be a hair warmer that the emphasis is on the hair and not the entire juxtaposition of the words 'hair warmer'. I was very confused since I first took it to mean that the temperature could get just warm enough to cause a delta from status quo in the keratin based growth in the mammillian world but not the body surface temperature itself.

Ah but that is not what was meant...if anything was meant at all by the inane commentary about it being marginally warmer than yesterday i.e. 'hair' warmer. Let us not get into the hair itself as it can be - well a hairy experience - as in whose hair - what age - what color - how old etc...

All in all it was a splendid day - a close to winter day but with the sun beaming from ear to ear when the clouds allowed it which they mostly did.

I am waiting for a proctologist to deliver a weather report one day - its sure to be a Butt Warmer!

  2. Assman (not to be confused with Asman) - their is a fantastic Seinfeld episode on misplaced license plates that Kramer wanders around with.
    Proctos as in dealing with anal (I know there are a few of us) or rectal issues.

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?
