What's News?


  • Woman dies after plane makes emergency landing - The woman in question was found dead on a sofa in her home when she was half way through a 8 oz bag of Cheetos.  Cause determined by the ME office was cardiac arrest.  The emergency landing of the plane seems to have taken place about the same time in a town 20 miles from the sofa where she died.  Investigators are still putting the exact timeline together to see if the landing took place before or after she consumed the fateful Cheeto.  Current Vegas bets are on 'after landing'.
  • Mercury to pass in front of Sun in a rare event - Apparently the event will be so rare that most folks on earth might likely not even see it.  Some will be in the dark - literally and for some the weather may not cooperate but the public is encouraged to believe in all the astronomical claims made by their tax dollar supported space exploration organization.

  • Rain dampens opening of farmers market - The rain which viewers claim was coming in sheets at around 33 degree angle made it all the way into the soft wooden arches that serve as the opening through which to welcome visitors to the market.  The arches succumbed to the driving rain water and got damp in the process.

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 latitude millenia ago.  There are se

New England is gleaming in the fall

 This autumn the weather gods cooperated as we took a family trip in the northeast to see six states that qualify or makeup what is known colloquially in America as New England. Mass, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode Island (tiniest state in the union). The outing helped tally up the states we either lived in, visited or have worked in to 47. Guess which three have eluded this intrepid traveling family. Any rate the drive was all in about 1,800 miles and included some memorable geographic wonders or points of interest.  Easternmost part of state of Massachusetts being one.  Furthest drivable road east in Mass being another. Visit to all Ivy League schools (term harkens to a collegiate athletics conference and generally regarded as elite academic institutes of some repute worldwide) is another random bucket list item of which this trip afforded the chance to knock two more of the list.  Dartmouth in Hanover, NH and Brown (and its sister institute the RISD  - school f
