We got rain

I can hear you say - so?  What's there to write about?  Well as it happens this winter is one of the drier ones on record.   At least in this part of the country.  We are hurting and may need to ration our use.  Like watch where we are wasting it and try to curb it.

News channels are having a feeding frenzy with terms used like 'Team Coverage of the Rain'.  People are liking it to parallels like it was a once in a lifetime cricket match between India and Pakistan or some serious event like the Italian Prime Minister being arrested for sexual mischief.

There are accidents galore causing delays across the highway systems.  People as it were are freaking out.  On the other hand the water cooler is rife with - we really needed this rain you know type of banter - at least to keep water in the cooler I suppose.

Of course there are no water coolers - just a faucet at a sink that serves as the gathering place to discuss your latest bone transplants to kid's education being a waste to Rain in the Forecast.

Rain is causing havoc across the state followed by news on land slides and flooding are scrambling for attention along side the autopsy results of a famous movie star's drug overdose.

On a side note - What the heck is a drug 'over'dose anyway?  Is there a prescription for dosing on cocaine somewhere that I missed?

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...
