Answering the question: Do dingoes really steal babies?

So I didn't miss my flight...but actually I almost did. The first leg of the journey was to fly from SeaTac into LAX. If you fly on frequent flyer miles, you are one step above livestock. They won't give you a confirmed seat, even though I booked th...

It DOES rain in Southern California

On this side of the earth (which is 10 time zones away from South African Time) things has been crazy! One very good analogy of the JIT experience came from Elbe a follow Jitter in Houston; and she sums it up as follows. “It’s as if you live in a reali...

 

Roadtrip USA - East to West

We push southwards, hitting the route 101 after snaking through forest and suddenly, we're clinging to a cliff edge, teetering on the brink of the Pacific. It crashes and roars against the rocks, which jut out at all angles, like giant sharks fins, thr...

 

France & Italy with Mandy

I am perplexed to learn that an issue I found puzzling in our area has even reached France. While on our way to Nimes, we saw two lost soles; alone and forlorn looking on the side of the road. We almost stopped to attemt a rescue, but it would have cau...

Europe 2007

I love Berlin! It has to be one of my favorite cities that I have visited. It is huge! I guess it's nine times the size of Paris, but not nearly as many people. While the city is rich with history, it lacks a lot of the aesthetic architectural land...

To Alaska

The week of work was going to be rough. Getting up at 6 in the morning and riding to the work site, which were pretty sad to see. This poor lady's house looked like it had not been painted in over 10 years. Things were falling apart, her sister was ...

 

Monastic Silence in the Northwest

I flew to Utah. The snow was dense at the meditation retreat... It was time to walk nowhere to move nowhere.... I was peeling the thick onion layers: Fleeting thoughts and deep physical pain, physical pain and then errupting emotions. The ...
