ageless

UKTV in britain commissioned a survey to produce a list of the top 20 romantic books. what is fascinating is that eight of the twenty were written in the 1800's. i have actually read the majority of these books. a few of them more than once.

( mmm... jealousy, sex and violence )

which is it?

last night there were some articles on internet news sites regarding a computer failure at LAX which delayed passengers on international flights. the computer system is the one which compares airline passenger lists with the terror watchlist. the result is that those people are flagged for secondary screening at customs.

the first article i read stated 2,500 passengers were affected with waits in the terminals and on the tarmac. later last night the number was 6,000 passengers. i have now come across an article using a number of 20,000.

hmmmm... i wonder what the number will be in another few hours.

squeeky clean, part 2

a week or so ago i posted a video of the president of dr. bronner's soap using police field test kits on various organic soap products.

today i picked up a bottle of their lavendar liquid soap. attached to it was a sample of lotion for a new line they are promoting called dr. bronner's and sun dog's magic.

if you have ever seen dr bronner's products they are packaged in bottles which are literally covered in random and ofttimes bizarre comments.

i had to laugh when i read the sticker covering the lotion sample after having seen the video where the other organic soap products have been exposed not to be. the tag reads the USDA seal guarantees organic integrity / not just another bogus "organics" brand!
