Todays Walk

Today I began the first long walk out of the season in day time. It being perfect weather of 81F highest, I saw a fellow lady enjoying the same in a white T shirt and jeans leaving behind her a big set of Purple Tires staked into the ground.

I saw some Kill deer on a lawn of a company(in flight) and at the lake. A male house finch near a lawn of resident property.

The lake has these nice words on a tablet. One of them listed all the birds that you could find there some time or the other. Phainopepla. Theres Mosquito fish too. Now their history aint very good aye(left over influence from last night movie. happy-go-lucky ). They took over the job of Rainbowfish and left them hungry and dead.

Equipped Vs Disadvantaged

When I read of Karen Wynn's work on infant cognition in Embracing the wide sky, it made me wonder what use is it gonna be knowing if infants can sort of count at that early an age. Other than the joy of finding and understanding.
Reading of all the wrong stuff growing in his head unbeknownst to Max Truex when he was alive and fighting Parkinson's and Jesse Gelsinger led into the cave of death without warning, I wonder if all the world's acquisition of knowledge is to solve some mutated cases, if experts can only chew on abnormalities, what happens to the normal lot? Or are the extreme cases many enough to keep the experts busy? How about lesser experts for finding solution to singularities, while greater experts work at lifting the whole curve up?

Multani Mitti

In ways we dont know, we pass the culture.
I read a line about the material available in unjab notlending itself to the usual sandstone Mughal architecture in 'the Majesty of Mughal Decoration: the Art and Architecture of Islamic India' by George Michell. I was intrigued about architecture in Punjab and was led to Multan. And turns out that its no new place, we have already used the clay from there.

Hazelnut Icecream

Mmm.. as the nuts kept appearing .. my smile kept getting wider.. still I wouldnt want to be 100.

When Tasteless is not bad

I recently tried Taro wafers. Now the first thing that happens to me, when I hear of Taro is the effect of tamarind and what curry it can become.. From the picture.. the taro cubes look more like baon cubes. The wafer tasted sweet and nothing taro...I dont know what to expect of finely powdered taro.. It just seemed more sweet...

Hot Wheels Marie

When I looked at Berta Marie biscuits(bought from Oriental Store), acclaiming themselves to be fashioned after Spain maria biscuits.. I was surprised to find that they looked exactly like the Britannia Marie biscuits I knew.... Heres's a product thats travelled from London to Spain, India and many other countries and retained its look and taste.

Apparel replacements

Lately I bought a red shirt in spirit of an older one or should I say two of them. One is a red muir woods shirt and another grey shirt with arizona on it from a defunct T-shirt shop(they always seem to be lifting shops from there, if last year it was the T-shirt shop, now its the Gloria Jeans coffee shop). The marriage of those two shirts should result in what I have now: a red shirt with Arizona on it.

I used to have nice green half pants from wet seal. They went for a toss with little wear and more tear(blame it on the wash). That was aplain one. But now I have a new green one with 6 pockets. So now our wardrobe is predictable?

Is it cloth-bound comfort zone or just a corollary of our colour preferences? An interesting thing about the color choices , popularity of green and red increases with advanced age. An academic way of sayng, I am getting to the top of the hill faster than it.
