Earth

 Of this earth. That is what we say to describe all that we see on the planet.  From cardboard to spaceships to the trash we create to all living beings, flora and fauna on land and sea, we are all part of this very earth. As humans we are but one of millions of species that have come to be around for some time and many more that might come after. But without doubt the most arrogant and self absorbed among all are us humans.

It is evident from the fact that we continually seem to analyze the condition of our surroundings and come up with slogans and agendas that indicate we WANT TO SAVE THIS PLANET.  What?

Some of us cannot even find our own butthole in a manner of speaking and we have the audacity to think we are going to save this planet?  From what and whom? The planet needs no saving. It frankly does not give a broken red cent to what our existence means. If it so desired it has the ability to get rid of us.

But we seem to not dwell on such trivialities. We the greatest race of apes ever to grace the land want to do all in its measly power to save the earth and save its rainforests and whatever else. No matter Americans in particular cannot even save for a rainy day.

And a rainy day is the most basic of earth's majestic wonders!

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?
