Few people may know this, but the main grounds (Eden park) where the Rugby World Cup matches are taking place, used to actually all be under flood water at one time in history.

I was sleeping last night and had a “retrospective bills” nightmare dream. In the dream, I thought I could do whatever I wanted to and that everyone just had to say yes, including politicians and Supreme Court judges. I dreamed of passing a bill (new law) that covered up my unlawful activities, that I’d authorized [...]

I was watching Diane Sawyer, coaching American parents to “only buy Made in America” products when sending kids back to school.

The last time I watched television, this humble man popped on screen to talk about getting into the magnates industry in 1978.

Watching Kiwi TV this morning, I discovered director Josh Fox‘s belief about hydraulic fracturing or fracking.
