Topsy Turvy world

Used to be when hair raising tales made the news headlines. These days it is about Hair Cutting tales. Especially when they involved the Speaker of the US House of Representatives.

Nancy.

This lady has her home in California. And she grew sick of her hair. So she went and got it cut or styled or whatever it is they do to women's hair so she can look 'Speaker-ish' on primetime TV.

The barber or Salon or whatever outfit that did said styling apparently video taped the incident and put it online. Boom.. we got ourselves a day time soap opera. See the state Guv said no indoor hairy business allowed because we got covid spreading indoors.

But Madam Speaker went ahead anyway? She then defended and barber sued and then on and on and ...you get the idea.. bunch of morons all.

The Covid has also done more to expose the human condition that when faced with a real natural calamity of gigantic portions keep doing what is preached - fake it till you make it. Except here the faking is causing utter chaos in an already chaotic world.

Johns Hopkins, an apparent authority on tracking covid positivity rates said - The problem with basing positivity rates on tests rather than people is that some individuals are tested more than once, and duplicative results from successive tests can skew the result.

Bottom line there is constant news stories of how every country and region on this planet is addressing the situation on the ground their own way and solving for it or attempting to.

No one really knows any answers. But they keep guessing and the media which is certifiably the most air headed clown here keeps publishing unproven narratives left and right.

People that wore all kinds of masks come Halloween are suddenly the ones rebelling about the idea of wearing them in September.

Fools that had no problem wasting toilet paper or TP as they like to call it by plastering people's home and trees, sometimes also on Halloween are now killing each other in grocery aisles to hoard it.

If this is not the bizarro world then what is?

Costa Rica

Our first foray into Central America. That elongated isthmus that forms the geographic boundary between two vast continents of North and South America. Specifically landing for NYE 2026 in San Jose, Costa Rica. Capital city for this region that does not have its own army, instead relying on its big bro the Estados Unidos to the north is a metropolis of approx. 500K people. Largely wilderness and with both a Pacific and Carribean/Atlantic coast the country is rich in bio diversity. In Spanish it means the rich coast so named by Columbus landing in early 16th century and being mesmerized by the local tribes sporting gold jewelry. Our stay included visiting the foothills of a large strato volcano called Arenal and enjoying the naturally heated thermal baths for a while. Lunching amidst lush forest and watching indigenous species of avian noise makers fly overhead. Toucans, some sort of pea hens, multiple song bird species completed the spectacle. Iguanas and a lonel...

Charges attract

It is said that opposites attract meaning people with contrary viewpoint sometimes find chemistry to be together. But I'm referring to a modern twist where people are merely attracted towards a common place because their uber communication device aka smart phone is about to die. The charging station. From airports to hotel lobbies or even bathrooms, when in need they are attracted to this power outlet like moths to a flame or a junkie to a needle. A whole new business of supplying these hyper connected folks is now born whose lifesaver product is a backup charge. Asian tourists perpetually carry a phone sized battery pack stuck to their latest Apple phone updating their status to folks in Hong Kong or Shanghai or Bangalore as they pose for selfies with weird facial expressions and fingers pointed out in a letter V. Vain? PS: I dis'charged' my blogger duties making this insightful observation as my phone is about to breathe it's last and my flight gets call...

Veni Vidi and Videod

Julius Ceasar is credited with a Latin phrase that reads - Veni, Vidi, Vici as in he came, he saw and he conquered. The summer vacation for the child meant we needed to do what we do as an annual event. Go see a new place. Italy won the draw this year. So we went for a couple weeks. To check out the land of fairy tales, of great warriors and amazing inventions; birthplace of Christianity and its current CEO, land of Romeo and Juliet, a land in many ways similar to our home state of California. In terms of its geography and populations and their respective shapes CA resembles Italy a lot. Both have a grand coastline, they both have multi cultural groups of people residing in its lands and mountains, both have northern edges covered by snow covered high mountain ranges that are formed of volcanic and tectonic activity over millenia. What we do not have in the Golden State is the renaissance, the art, the history. It was a particular interest of our d...
