Walk that cat

As stupid people continue to populate this planet I still have not seen the below in my four decades of habitation on this rock -
  •  People walking their cats - on a leash.
  • For that matter - walk their turtles or snakes or gerbils - not sure of this 'healthy dog discrimination'.
  • People advertising food with extra high fructose corn syrup - for that matter it should be sold at a premium in specialty stores.
  • Only homeless people showing up to the Oscars ceremony and staring at the host and awards being announced with no idea what is going on - oh and by the way they are all dressed in Armani and some unpronounceable designer garment.
  • Photographers taking 'before' and 'after' picture of all attending homeless.  Weight for weight the cloth content of their original rags vs. the thousands priced event garb would likely come out to be the same.  Taking bets on the subject in Vegas.
  • Oscar red carpet interviewing morons forgetting to wish passing award nominees to 'have a good time' causing a glum faced attendance from all attendees.  
  • If the real actors accept the award they take it and walk away with not even a single thank you. Instead they put their statue on Craigslist (a buy sell website) while walking off the stage.  Actually that is not a stupid thought.
  • Finally, dogs walking their owners on a leash with extra diapers tied on their back for when their owners decide to take an unplanned dump.

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...

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 ...
