WANNA HAVE SOME FUN?

A popular activity in South America, Zip-lining is becoming a popular tourist activity on Mau'i.

Here is a great news story about it from a local (Honolulu) TV station. Be sure to watch their news video also. The company has 2 locations on the island. One up on the side of Haleakala and a new venue in Kaanapali, over on the "Westside".
This is some video that a tourist took of his adventure.

Just to bring everyone up to date on what I am doing:

Work has been impossible to find due to many factors. But an opportunity has opened up for me. Completely out of "left field". I'll be returning to California around the end of the month. Getting a passport and then I'll be heading for Asia, most likely Korea, to teach conversational English. It just seems like the perfect job at this point in my life. This blog will always remain up and running but the locales I "broadcast" from are going to vary.

I am excited!

Oh, my kitty Bear is going to be adopted by my "daughter", Amber.

I'll relate more about all this later.

FROM THE BOTTOM OF A LONG BLACK TUBE

While everyone claims it would be unethical to produce genetically modified humans, we all know that some day it will happen. Another step along that path was quietly reported last year but it took this long for there to be any concern expressed. Tinkering with our genome is a new field of science. There is still along way to go until you can preselect eye color, intelligence, athletic ability. What concerns me more than parents trying to give their babies the best are the governments and multi-nationals who will try to produce a work force capable of only performing certain limited tasks, albeit quite well. Breed out desire and ambition, breed in what the current market place requires. Disposable quasi-humans. Creations that, in the "Bladerunner" sense, could only function in distant alien environments. Human in name only.

The power brokers of the world would breed into their lines perfect health, longevity, beauty, intelligence, maybe even immortality. At which point they will effectively become gods to the masses.

Just something to think about.

Another entry for my LEX LUTHOR DOESN'T EXIST category.

And another one.

I should begin compiling these into a book.

This one doesn't fall under the LLDE category but the end result was the same. - JAIL

Another tiny piece of the puzzle of the make-up of our mysterious Universe has been discovered. The more we learn, the less we know.

In a last minute 11th hour attempt to save the Mississippi 1st Congressional District from falling into their enemy's hands, Republicans resurrected "Dirty Dick" Cheney from his hidden secret bunker to be a keynote speaker at some rally. They are hoping his speech will generate $120,000 in campaign donations. Of course $30,000 of that must go to cover the cost of having Cheney appear. The political tide is turning against the neocons and they are scrambling.

The death toll in yesterday's earthquake has risen to at least 10,000 known fatalities. And they've just started recovering bodies. In one school at least 900 children were killed when their brick school house collapsed. Millions of survivors have only the clothing on their back.

This should be a wake-up call to those of you living in the mid-west. If another New Madrid quake occurs most of your homes, schools and offices will suffer the same fate. Because most of these structures are comprised of brick. A building material that fares very poorly when the solid Earth isn't so solid. There are retrofits available that are very practical. Look into it. The historic New Madrid quakes were about 80 times stronger that what China hit yesterday. Think about it.

Well, Dubya leaves today for his "spring break" trip to the middle-east. I wonder if he'll also stop over in Iraq to check out those reports on corruption there? Maybe he hasn't received his "finders fee" yet. At least it'll keep him out of Mississippi. I may have missed it but I can't recall him being asked by any candidate to assist in a campaign this year. Can you?

Microsoft is going into competition with Google Sky. They have launched Worldwide Telescope. I have just started playing with it. The images are in some form of 3-D. Looks kewl.

Finally, in case you've forgotten, West Virginia holds their primary election today. But none of us really care anymore. Do we?

Thanks for stopping in. I always appreciate the time you spend here.
I'll be back later with more. Have a great day, okay.
