Art in the Vineyards: The di Rosa Preserve
Art can be joyous or tedious. I have spent days dutifully wandering the Louvre, through galleries of lookalike paintings appealing only to obsessed scholars. I have zoomed through rooms of black canvasses and blue dots, gazed at objects I am supposed to appreciate that I do not understand, that I am apparently not supposed to [...]Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
Monkey Dance
This is a Kecak dance, better known as the Balinese Monkey Dance. Recently, about 5 thousand people gathered, some whipping themselves into a trance, at Tanah Lot, Bali, Indonesia to pray for the return of tourism.
That may sound crass and commercial but tourism is entwined in Bali’s spiritual, cultural and economic life. I have [...]Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
The Meaning of TIT: What Would Jitplecheep Do?TIT, she said about the military coup in Thailand in an email from Bangkok.

The "BIG ONE" vs the "little one"The "BIG ONE" vs the "little one"AUDIO-MP3
San Francisco media have done a fine job instilling fear in our hearts about the next BIG ONE. They're good about that, media and politicians: media shouting "watch or die" to flog their newscasts and newspapers and politicians diverting our minds from ever-present scandals. One (but perhaps not high on the list for the hungry and homeless) is the lack of a decent cruise ship terminal in San Francisco. Most coastal cities of any import have built a ...

Mt. Shasta, California - Jerusalem for the WeirdMt. Shasta from Mc Cloud, California©2002 Russell JohnsonMt. Shasta, CaliforniaJerusalem for the WeirdAUDIO STORY MP3Story& Photos Russell JohnsonWhy do the gods always live on mountains while the trolls, barrators, falsifiers and other pointy-tailed deadbeats dwell in the muck beneath the bridges? (As an occasional glutton, I stand just a foul breath's distance from the status of troll in Dante's scheme.) Why do the ordinary people scramble in chaos around the friezes at the botto ...

My mind filled with Pied Piper thoughts, my husband, Russ, gently pried me away from the little critter and we wandered down the street to the electronics district wh ...

The Monteverde Cloud Forest - Costa RicaBy Russell JohnsonAUDIO MP3 - VIDEO (Windows Media - MP4 (iTunes)HDTV (Windows Media HD 98MB)Do not try to download HDTV unless you a 3.0 Pentium or above and a fast Cable or DSL Connection
Souvenirs: when you travel, you both take them and leave them. I think about this as I sit on my deck at home scraping Costa Rican mud off of my boots. Who knows what is in this stuff: maybe anteater scat, or some seeds dropped from the bill of a three-wattled bellbird that will plant themselves in my g ...

Las Vegas & CES: Whither the Cannonballs
AUDIO STORY MP3
Captain, I dare say we have two parallel but equal universes here. On the Las Vegas Strip we have TI (in another time warp it was called Treasure Island), now more appropriately labeled TA: scantily-clad buccaneeresses pole dance around the masts of a pirate ship teasing the throngs with their thongs, beckoning them to "come on in". Over at the Las Vegas Hilton, Bill Gates opens the hu ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
The Connected Traveler - with podcastExotic Eats in SanFranciscoAfriend turned me on to a neighborhood place in the Mission Districtcalled Bissap Baobab. It is Senegalese. The usual vehicles -- chicken,fish and lamb -- are adorned with cumin, chiles, ginger and served oncouscous or rice with fried plantain. Yum! If you fancy martinis, trya not-so-traditional melange of gin, ginger and grapefruit. The placeis crowded and noisy but fun. Worth a trip to San Francisco’s MissionDistrict which, after a pause following the dot c ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
