Shoot this not that

So to all those wackos out there - what makes you go and take out a bunch of fellow humans? Something that caused the train to go off the track is what many a highly paid pyschoanalyst will conclude. Circumstance, conditions, influence whatever you call it, to me it boils down to breakdown of a moral fibre that cannot distinguish right vs. wrong. So this is what us huamns are capable of. We can land a robot on Mars millions of miles away - without having been there and yet we can come up with the idea to use a semi automatic weapon and take the life of unknown individuals even if it killed oneself in the process. To all these disturbed souls I have an alternative. Try to focus on more annoying creatures that may be ripe for a trim. Pigeons, squirrels or geese come to mind. If you live in suburbia or near a large city as I do there is an overwhelming presence of these critters. Cities and counties acutally spend good money (which they borrow at exorbitant rates pegged to the LIBOR or some goobledigook) to clean monuments, statues and buildings of the defecation from said avians and also go to great lengths to treat disease spread by the same. Can these governments put out a wanted ad (before the guy goes criminal and is wanted for different reasons) to sign up for taking out all annoying creatures and get paid a $1 for every kill? I know PETA or some such will go ape shit (no pun) with this proposal. But hey someone has to think of us humans?

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?
