A good night's sleep

We have all been there.  Tired after waking.  But you just woke so how is it you are tired?
There is PhD level research on this subject.  Many a quack has a theory.  Mattress manufacturing is $15 Billion industry.

Yet there are sleep deprived people walking like zombies all around us.  What is going on?  Every month it seems some charlatan comes with a new patented method to help us sleep better.  From nose implants to gadgets to perfume and create melodies in the room to hand crafted steel coils made in European factories (which could mean Bosnia but who understands geography?  esp after missing sleep) that go in to sheep skin mattresses for the best sleeping experience ever!

Now there is a movement fueled by showcasing supply chain economics to those than can barely add 2 and 2.  Take the middle man out and get it direct online.  Save hundreds.  We will show you how.  We will actually just give you $500 back - now that was easy.  That itself should help you sleep better.  Never mind the $3,000 you signed up for on an installment plan.  If you are like half the Americans then you are probably broke so you are not going to be able to afford that monthly payment.  But never mind that we come and take it away - the mattress that is.  We already made a killing on the financing so it really does not matter what coils you slept on.

We will recycle those to the next fool who wants to sleep better - tonight!

All first world problems for obese, brain function retarded people on the planet.  If you are dead tired as the expression says you can sleep on an Indian railway platform with bugs crawling up your ass.  And not miss a beat.  Wake up on time aka when fully rested to start the routine of being dead tired all over again.

Now if you want to experience that you have to sign up for a meditation and yoga class which is coming to a center near you.  Cost only $500 - available with four easy payments.  Do the math.  If you are awake.

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 ...
