Questions that vex

With covid in the air there is nothing for my thumbs to do other than twiddle.  The other digits meantime find a keyboard intoxicating.

The mind when not intoxicated with spirits is a devil's workshop too so a deadly combination in all...pondering what could be and should be.. Que Pero Que...

Thus the drivel that follows..


  1. Will bank robbers now be deemed good samaritans for wearing a mask?
  2. Speaking of these good samaritans I still haven't found the bad ones.  Or the neutral ones.  What gives?  
  3. Also to get too technical, the region of Samaria from which these dudes supposedly hail is nowhere to be found on google maps.  Huh!
  4. If any dude does happen to get shot during the masked robbery the media immediately labels them as innocent bystanders.  How come?  Did they interview the injured and ask about their motivation?  Were they truly innocent?  Were they trying to see how they could bone someone after their business at the bank was done? And what the heck is a bystanding?  How come there are never any bysitters?
  5. Given there is talk of herd immunity are there deaf vulnerables floating around too?  How am I going to talk sense to them?
  6. Will Apple shares go to zero now that facial recognition is impossible and all those fancy iphone users cannot get them to open?  
  7. Will facetime be labeled masktime?
  8. Will lipstick sales dry out?
  9. Will readers label this blog masketious?

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...

Gab about Gaps

There are a number of news stories these days where conversation inevitably turns to discussing some sort of GAP - Gap between rich and poor is growing Gap is losing market share to other clothiers The Dow is Gapping Down (so is the NASDAQ) and the dollar is Gapping Up The guy who advised British public over the PA on dangers of tube travel with the phrase 'MIND THE GAP' has died There is a frightening Gap between our Debts and Savings Gap between Executive pay and Average worker salary is at an all time high All I am doing is listening to all this unfold with my mouth aGAPe. What me worry?
