A new house for the new president?

 Let's face it.  Americans among all other living species on earth love to change things up a little.  Whether it is dumping a spouse of two years or returning a leased vehicle, change is always in the air.

Many also afford to uproot and move. Physically.  It comes with appetite to explore anew.  Some less and some more.  From down the road to across the country.  Sell your old abode and move into a new one.

Well if you think about it for 100's of years American presidents have been vacating their abode and handing the keys to the new one.  Said abode goes by the name of 'White House'.  It is like a Marriott extended stay (min four years unless you pop off or something).

Now that Trump has the virus the whole house has to be hosed down.  Even though its White.  Cannot let a covid cause issues with the long term rentability of this mansion now can we?

Maybe we can.  Who's to say that the next President might take offense at this old charmer on Pennsylvania and seek out counsel form Tarek Moussa on whether to Flip this old house.

Dude - this had covid.  Nothing but bad things happen here - bad things.  Can we flip it?

Where would you be looking?  Oh let me see - I want something more modern.  I mean I cannot even find an outlet in this darned thing to charge my old man large key telephone.  Get me many outlets.

And not sure about the carpets or the walls either.  Who came up with these crayola rooms?  Red, Blue, Green.. it gives me headaches.  Let us go for some calming greys.

Like Earl Grey.

And oh yeah - I want some privacy.  So the further away from the public the better.  I mean the noise on Pennsylvania with the traffic, even with covid is awful.

And get rid of that period furniture.  It takes me three days just to climb into bed.  I mean I take naps all the time you know.  It needs to be quick. 

Tell you what.  Let us make this place into a museum and charge lot of money.  It will pay for the new place.

Take me home.. somewhere else.

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?
