What did I blog about?

These days when I run into someone new to blogging or just a new acquaintance I send them to view my blog. Rather than get into (a lather) this whole laborious self revelation in the first encounter - at someone's house warming or birthday (or as some of my friends like to call 'Happy Birthday') party I encourage the interviewer into a 'seek and you shall find' mode. This way if they are genuinely interested in the goings on of their fellow human they can blame themselves for trying. Some do ask what it is I blog about - so I got to thinking (not what I should try to answer) and peel the old covers - Its about observable (or overt) and not so human idiosyncracies for the most part; Food is another favorite of mine as are places I've been and enjoyed or not; Then its onto some super duper sci fi make believe world vision that resembles - if I was presidente for a day gasps; Some tend to border on the Existential - WHY question et al; Finally its about beings (human or not) and their creations that have truly amazed moi - there are indeed a handful as cynical as my tone is. Its just that I find a lot of us take ourselves way too seriously and not even know it. All in all its been fun pounding what ever the heart desires and expect unwary customers to stumble on and make up their own mind about the bump they just encountered on the blogosphere. That last bit is actually quite optimistic since it assumes that someone will actually have a mind to make up - not that it matters.

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...
