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.

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...
