Searching for Sanity

With Google we all got freedom to Search (unless you belonged to China).

In the old days (circa 1970s) people always wanted to search high and low.  Not sure for what but that was the expression du jour.   I searched high and low for you and just now you are appearing... c'mon man... it could have been to seek Ishwar or a guy called Ishwar.

Now you really cannot pretend to not know something because you can search.  Instantly.  At least as long as there is cell reception (sounds like a party thrown in a jail for new comers but its not).

Then again there are new types of search that we as people constantly embark on - for purposes known and unknown.

In the recent news was a cavity search conducted by border patrol on people wanting to cross the US borders illegally.  Said cavities were essentially variety of orifices on the human body that could be used as secure containers for transporting material that may or may not be suitable for storage in said cavities.

Then there was Khobragade who was a diplomat that got strip searched -no she was not in Vegas- as in first stripped and then searched which raised all sorts of furor over the rights of a sovereign to treat a person of another country.  Here the searching was for reasons unknown.

Then we get to the latest installment of what could be called a multi country, large scale,  24x7, coordinated search.  That for a missing airliner.

An entire large body aircraft vanishes - did Malaysia invent real Stealth Technology after all?

Regardless no one seems to be any the wiser after almost two weeks that 250 people disappear.  Even Las Vegas magicians are scratching their scalps off - searching for answers.

So what we learn from all this searching is that there must be a place in the Universe where all lost things or things we think we know but really do not go to rest - and that will only reveal itself when we do more Soul Searching!

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?
