~ Whether it’s a chat with our attorney,
or a short converstion with a contractor
or bank teller – it’s apparent that everyone
is anxious about the economy.
How did life in the great USA
get so crappy, so fast?
Charisma doesn’t necessarily
spawn beneficial change.
We shall see.
However, who would expect a vodka company
to come up with a warm fuzzy commercial?
This makes you feel good,

(from:http://www.pinktentacle.com )"It might seem odd that Buddhist temples
in Japan house the occasional stray
mummified demon (oni), but then again

watchful eye of a priest, instead of letting

is home to the mummified head of a
three-faced demon. Legend has it that
a resident priest discovered the mummy
in a temple storage chamber in the
early 18th century. Imagine his surprise".

There are some very unusual characters roaming the pier, but it's never boring. I remember when Dr B took cf & friend to a Cirque du Soleil performance in Santa Monica, years ago. When BB and DD turned 21, we all zoomed up to Vegas to see KA, which was absolutely magnificent. Now, Cirque is back, presenting a thrilling KOOZA, October 16, 2009 through December 20, 2009!
