In the not too distant future

Everything will be live all the time. Including the dead ones (death can be seen live if one so chooses - a family member dying in a remote part of the world will be visible as dying through two way cameras etc); Everything will be viral. Including the healthy (families, plant growth etc); Everything will be therefore digital (sensory perceptions can also be simulated by altering the chemistry in the brains) and not much of anything material will exist. The whole notion of a job will disappear. Planet will always be on all the time. Yet no one will really need anything anytime. In matter of time the organic matter will decay and erode to a state of what is called death. As such people will simply occupy space and time in whatever coordinate they choose to be but will not have an incentive to actually leave. It will always be on all the time. Just change the channel and you are in Swaziland looking at the zebras on the Savanna. Or switch another channel and watch your kid learn algebra in his room through his sensory enhancement devices plugged on him. He is not in a classroom. There are no schools - there are no teachers - there are no jobs. Remember - all man made nonsense will have ceased to exist. Unless of course Kim from Korea disagrees with this wonderful hypothesis and decides to alter my story.

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?
