Thoughts and Prayers - what again?

 I might have waxed poetic on this topic not long ago. Well I figured enough acts of insanity have since taken place on this planet that it warrants revisiting this rather important premise.

That of thoughts and prayers.

Those that seem inclined to open the gusher of them both and start sending them across the ether to specifically (not sure where) some general affected area around where the insanity or tragedy took place. 

Actually with people's geographic sense being what it is I am not sure their target lat/ long are really accurate but we will work on that later.

 While also not getting into the exact nature of the thoughts or the prayers has it occurred to anyone that maybe the version that these yokels are employing (for said thoughts et al) is the wrong kind?  I mean the disaster has already struck. Too little too late maybe? Just maybe?

Thusly, how about turning a few pages in your thoughtopedia or prayer book and reading some newer edition or version, then post haste sending those chapters that perhaps might aid in preventing a potential school shootout or bombing of a certain minority or a devastating quake from happening in the first place?

Perhaps certain calamities could be miraculously averted? I am not sure but for those that seem to want to employ that thought laden tactic it is an honest plea. I pray and implore.  How about that? Punch that button before headline news finds a new event to cover? Plus side you might not have to tune-in to that newscast (since latest dumpster fire never happened) and thusly avoid having to see more marketing to avoid depression using Xylantwing or some such pill. God forbid it makes you suicidal or worse creates a rash in your unmentionables.

Thoughts?

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?
