Humanity surprises us yet again. This past week we saw a few things to awe us. Both awesome and awful. Inspiration and desparation.
Lets start with the fantastic sight of the 'Endeavour' space shuttle rolling along the streets of Los Angeles to reach a Science Museum so the generations coming along can gape at what the human endeavor achieved.
Visiting space is perhaps our desire for curiosity and to solve the mysteries of our existence. Lot of funding sure is dedicated to this endeavor. Perhaps we will be better for it in the very long run.
On the flip side of this spectrum is a drastic and heinous act where a teenage girl in Pakistan was shot in the brain so that it would cease and desist its march against tyranny. The propogator of the crime are fanatics whose brain function may have already stopped.
Why such cruelty exists and manifests in reality but does not getting enough funding to study?
Time will indeed document our passage for the viewing pleasure of an as yet undiscovered alien - of a culture or a species in the galaxies that has shown its colors and temperaments, its highs and lows, that may or may not survive despite its arrogance.
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.
