Private Parts

Today we are faced with a dilemma.

To those that think it is a dilemma.

Every time a person stands for high office he or she gets scrutinized.  Most times than not the lead contender gets slapped with the most basic and yet poignant accusation.  He or she groped me.  Reached into my privates and violated me.  Mostly it is a man doing the groping.  Of a female.

Biden is up for nomination of the Democrats.  He is also facing this ultimate test.

Trump for his part was caught on a hot mike discussing explicit behavior he would recommend when in the company of the opposite sex.

We all know about Clinton and Kennedy and many many more in all the spheres of influence.

But amidst all this Me Too coverage I find something more fundamental not being discussed.  Is America's moral compass completely and utterly broke?  Can it even be repaired?  Is THIS OUR NEW NORMAL?

At this point if this is the best we got are we really the Best Place To Be?

Add to all this with the embarrassment of riches (the trillions our Fed can print) and the capricious behavior from our commander made evident with the Covid shellacking, I cringe every time a politician or business leader or media air head goes on live TV to say we are the Best Country or the Richest Nation on earth.

WTF does that mean?

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...
