There is enough time

As a modern day organism and specifically as the human species we have been conditioned to think that Father Time is running out. Not sure where he is headed but maybe Mother Nature has him running errands?

When you sit down and think though it is actually a marketeer designed scam. The time running out that is. There is no need to rush to buy that car today for example. Time is running out on Labor Day sales event..which will be followed by the Golden Opportunity event ..which has the year end sales event on its heels.

So what if I wait till after labor day?

Nothing .. It just means the stupid car salesman did not make quota..not your problem. Besides there is the bigger question of how many automobiles we need to have the dealers all take a year long break from selling again?

Could they for example be sent to Australia to dig a big hole that could be used to dump the world's non recyclable trash? I think we might get a pretty large and deep hole to take care of any and all nuclear and bio hazard waste if all car salesmen were indeed shipped there and kept at it for just a year.

Good use of time before it runs out.

But What If We're Wrong?

I attempted to read this book by author Chuck Klosterman backward to forward but it started hurting my brain so I decided to stop and do it like any other publication in the English language. Start from page 1 and move to the right. Witty, caustic and thought provoking this is a book you want to read if you believe that the status quo might, just might be wrong. At times bordering on being contrarian about most things around us it tries to zero in on the notion of what makes anything believable and certain in our minds. The fact that there is a fact itself is ironic. Something analogous to the idea that you can never predict the future because there is no future. Many books and movies have tried to play on this concept - best that I recollect (I think I am) was 'The Truman Show'. This book by Klosterman attempts to provoke the reader to at least contemplate that what they think they know may be wrong. He uses examples like concept of gravity, and how it ...

Peru, South America - Week well spent

Growing up in India the only Peru I knew of was a tropical fruit (Guava for those whose lingua is English). Not until high school did I discover that it was also a country in the South American continent. So it was this early April week that we decided to hit up Peru - the land of the once glorious Inca people that lived 500 years ago. Today Peru is the third largest country on that continent with a diverse geography that stretches from the drier Pacific coast plains to the high mountains of the Andes and the Amazon river valley to its east. Our trip was primarily a pilgrimage of sorts to visit the last remaining, lost (now found and documented), large scale, mostly undamaged, city of the Inca nobility, called Machu Picchu (MP). The Inca were great architects and builders. MP is a UNESCO world heritage site affording it high visibility to the tourism trade and therefore crowded year round. Our timing was not quite high season allowing us...

You are important to us

Followed by piano music. Followed by 'we are experiencing heavier than usual call volume'. Sounds macabre like bleeding during menstruation or after a ghastly attack with a weapon on a hemophiliac. Sorry Mrs. Johnson but it appears little Gertrude here has been bleeding heavier than usual what with her night time activities competing with the woodchucks in your neighborhood. Some services even go as far as to pick a random day to say - 'if you were to call us during the Chinese lunar month when the moon is axiomatically hugging the polar star with Jupiter intravenous when call volume is light'. Well I will be damned. I thought I had checked with my astrologer before I placed this well focused call but I guess this is what you get for listening to a quack. Umph! I am not sure which marketing genius came up with this personal touch concept of informing the caller that you are really a jackass for actually calling the customer serv...
