Waiting for the Crash

Since the last entry the USA economy seems to be waiting for the Big Crash. The Wise Ones in DC seem to be unable to decide what to do, and are holding hearings and hearings, but the big bailout package is still being worked on. I know that news followers are understanding all this more than I am, and I am supposedly educated. I have been going through GoogleEarth to look at the overhead views of the big cities of the world, and it is amazing how large burgs like Mumbai and Tokyo are. I found the view of Soc Trang Vietnam, and the town looks like it did 40 years ago, and the airfield where we were stationed is still there. The runway is the same one but the hootches are gone, and I could not tell if some the old French colonial buildings in the area are still around. Some of the big cities on Google are of poor overhead viewing. Lagos must have been photographed at night, and some other cities were cloud-covered. Maybe that is the way the earth is. The views of Paris is somewhat blurred. What is going on in Des Moines is a wave of murders. In the politics news there is now a blog binge about Biden having said that FDR was elected president in 1929, and gave his fireside chats on TV. And there is a rumor that OB will dump Biden soon and pick HRC as his running mate. Nejad came to the UN today and talked crazy(I think) and W showed up and gave a speech no one paid much attention to on the News. This is going to be all for right now. We are supposed to get thunderstorms but so far just rolling thunder(tater wagons). Will return soon. Di di mau!
