This morning I heard about the big 7.9 magnitude quake that just slammed central China killing at least 10,000 people. Scary. I truly hope the victims of the hard-hit areas get the aid they need in this difficult time. It will be interesting to see what sorts of repercussions this could have for the impending summer Olympics.
What if you could bake your favorite bread, cook up an awesome stir fry with rice, and make some apple-cobbler to die for without using any electricity, and without having to cook over a fire? That opportunity may be here, with the recent invention of a solar cooking device. An inventor in Hawaii has designed a solar stove/oven that could offer a solution to some global problems.
I live a few miles from Sakurajima, one of the world’s most active volcanoes. I have a phenomenal view of it from my apartment balcony. Scary?
I love America. I’m very happy I was born there, and I enjoy visiting there from time-to-time. I also like Canada, England, and the “Western World” in general. However, since moving to Japan, I have discovered how toxic the western world can be for various other countries and cultures.
This is not something I’ve talked much about with anyone, but here it goes!
The other day Japan was rocked by a 6.8 magnitude earthquake about 100 miles off the coast of Tokyo. It shook things up a bit and injured two people. There were a few mid-sized aftershocks that were a bit scary for some people as well. Japan got off lucky this time, since the quake originated in the ocean rather than land, and didn't produce any big waves.
Clinton sucks… blah blah blah… Obama’s not any better… yadda, yadda, yadda… but what choice do we have? McCain??
Democrats across the country are becoming increasingly frustrated with their choice as both democratic candidates are becoming meaner, more bloodied, and are both losing some of their altitude and glory. What are we to do?
Is it time to bring back Al Gore?
Some of you may be heading to college in the fall. There is an endless numbers of decisions to be made and things to think and worry about. Will I like college? Will I do well? Will the food be good? Will the professors be nice? Will I get along with my roommate? Who will my roommate be?
What if you could choose a member of the opposite sex as a roommate?
