You Can't Tell the Hookers without a Program

In Bogota, Colombia a new municipal regulation prevents prostitutes working in the zona de tolerancia (zone of tolerance) from wearing mini-skirts or other revealing clothing. It's all an effort to protect the sensibilities of the local residents and maintain the morals of the neighborhood.

Okay, let me get this straight. There is a area in the city specifically for the purpose of letting hookers work there, and in that same zone they cannot dress like a hooker. So, in order to protect the morals of the non-hookers, you make the hookers dress just like them. Now, it seems to me that men are going to be propositioning the highly moral ladies, because they can't tell them from the hookers. Something sounds out of whack here.

Poland: Paradise for Plastic Surgery

You can now get plastic surgery in Poland for 1/2 or 1/4 of the price. Breast augmentation at a cut-rate. Something oxymoronic about that.
El Dia de Los Reyes Magos

Today is Epiphany or as the Spanish speaking world calls it, Magi Day. It's the day that the Three Kings of Orient arrived to see the baby Jesus and deliver their gifts. But, the most important thing is that they "went home another way." They didn't go back to Herod and tell him where Jesus was, like he told them to. They went back to where they came from by going a different route. Hmmm...now what if...

The Solution to Unemployment

Send the out of work to work in Asia! Yes, that's it! If you're drawing unemployment benefits, and are willing, you get to go work in tsunami devastated Asia. Those Dutch think of everything.

Seventeen

It's been 17 years since the Goddess and I got married. We married on January 2, 1988. This year we went to a place called Canyon of the Eagles for our anniversary. It's just outside of Burnet (pronounced BUR-nit) on Lake Buchanan (pronounced buh-KAN-un). It's just plain beautiful out there. We just got back home a couple of hours ago. Took down the Christmas tree, put away the boxes and boxes of decorations, and now I'm resting. Sort of.
