I cannot believe the jargon that spews out of the variety of mouths occupying space on this planet. Not only do they occupy and then highlight it as such but they also contribute dramatically to the issue of global warming. If they all kept quiet I think Antarctic penguins might continue to have a home? Perhaps more people could at some point move to Iceland?
Getting back to jargon - enough has not been said about the notion of SAME SEX marriages - make that marriages in general.
I mean first it was the quintessential question from the uninformed to any Indian that showed up with a spouse on American shores - Was your marriage arranged? Now how to answer this loaded one depends on your mindset. I for one chose to go the route of - It was certainly not Disarranged.
Whatever that informs the questioner is left to the intellect of the questioner - not my problem.
Then we move onto the more arcane world of SAME SEX. First of all the notion of sex in a marriage is so vague and subjective as to cause the use of words like Sex and Marriage in the same arrangement to be beyond absurd.
Nonetheless lets dive in here - what does the three letter arrangement mean? What is same about sex? If it is (same) why continue to pursue said exertion? Then again why bother marrying to find out what sameness feels like? Also why talk about it? More importantly why fight for it? What is the big deal folks?
Then someone tapped me on the shoulder and clarified that it was not the SAMENESS but that they were referring to HOMOSEXUAL nature of marriage. Which further confused me - I mean we are all HOMO SAPIENS. Then why keep calling it HOMO anything? Are there other arrangements I missed reading about?
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...
Homo sapiens keep finding new ways to exhibit our lack of intelligence.
