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.

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...

Cost of entrepreneurship

Last night I attended a guest lecture on the subject of disruptive technology and entrepreneurship. Lecture was free but it was used as a pitch by the University that hosted it to attract new customers. The speaker was somewhat respectable fellow who happened to hail from India and spoke eloquently. One of the key message was around how the professors in this university were ranked among the very best money can buy. Cost of the MBA program mere $110,000 and oh we also buy some dinner if you have late class. So now the math is simple- is learning to be entrepreneurial worth the cost of entry? That is assuming you end up being one. What of those that do not? or the ones that are not successful at being the entrepreneur? Is that being a pessimist before even being handed the glass. What I found strange is that people will bet big money on the glimmer of hope that they might just make a entrepreneurial debut and hit it big. The unive...
