To Speculate or Not to Speculate

That is the question. What with so many people asking so many questions for which there are no right or wrong answers. Which is to say nobody really knows yet they ask and they answer. Which is to say they speculate. From radio and TV pundits to government officials to celebrities to common folk. An example of top 11 (may be 12 - I will leave that to the speculators to figure out) questions asked can vary from the mundane to the arcane... 1. Will this erection last? (I am referring to the superstructures being built rapidly across the continents..I know what you dirty minds are speculating) 2. How long before I need the next tablet? (Again I am referring to the electronic ones not the other kind..but you can speculate) 3. Is the housing crash over? 4. Will Europe disintegrate? 5. Why would someone name their child 'Newt'? Could he be president? 6. Is this good for me? In this category you shall find foods, drinks, pills, spending habits and a slew of other retarded questions... 7. Does it truly get 100 miles to the gallon? 8. Where did 'she/he' disappear? Here one can substitue local yokels to infamous to famous names...Emilia Earhart being a popular one 9. Is the DOW going to tank? 10. Is the luster off the gold trade? 11. Will people read this blog? I can only speculate...

    Best thing would be (if you don't know) to go with Oprah's views..at least she acts well on TV! And as for reading the blog, there are more jobless guys in the world than you think.

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...

But What If We're Wrong?

I attempted to read this book by author Chuck Klosterman backward to forward but it started hurting my brain so I decided to stop and do it like any other publication in the English language.  Start from page 1 and move to the right. Witty, caustic and thought provoking this is a book you want to read if you believe that the status quo might, just might be wrong. At times bordering on being contrarian about most things around us it tries to zero in on the notion of what makes anything believable and certain in our minds.  The fact that there is a fact itself is ironic.  Something analogous to the idea that you can never predict the future because there is no future. Many books and movies have tried to play on this concept - best that I recollect (I think I am) was 'The Truman Show'.  This book by Klosterman attempts to provoke the reader to at least contemplate that what they think they know may be wrong. He uses examples like concept of gravity, and how it ...
