Puzzles and Riddles

Is UNESCO dead? Don't hear much about them anymore. If a famous author gets arrested do the publishers immediately issue a recall and update the bio to reflect - He now lives at Rikers Island Maximum Security Prison with his dog Fondue. If at any point the earth implodes where will all the (airborne) planes land? When is P&G inventing diapers for dogs? I am sick of people behaving badly. Can Bill Gates just walk up to the UN and one day buy Antarctica, Africa and Australia and be done with it? Then he can call it the Gated Compound and it would be easy for dumb kids in school to memorize only 5 continents. In fact if he is feeling really chipper he can partner with Buffett and they can pretty much buy the rest of the continents and a whole lot of bullshit history and geography will go out of school curriculums. The Gates Buffet Empire will rule planet earth and that is that. I am sick and tired of keeping track of different currencies and moronic governments and their flags and their kings and their queens and their stupid cultures. Most of all the idiocy of the EuroZone. Earth is run by Gates - Buffett and that is it. One flag (if you are picky) - one name - one planet - one rule. Screw the rest of the idiots. If you don't like it you are booted out to the Gates Space Station or optionally put to death (you get a choice of three ways to end it at no cost to you). Lets get creative folks and use all those billions wisely!

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...

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...

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...
