http://what-am-i-seeing.blogspot.com/p/16-days-in-india.html

By mark swindle design-i. 16 Days in India. A breath of fresh air, eh? Yours Truly, floating up the the Hooghly River and perhaps looking a little thinner: the India Map. The piracy team, including Chinese, Indian, Brazilian, Russian and US members, on a skiff heading for a temple visit north of the city.

what am i seeing?: Cheney Dodges the Bullet Again

http://what-am-i-seeing.blogspot.com/2010/12/cheney-dodges-bullet-again.html

All 16 charges filed by the Nigerian government against Dick Cheney were dropped yesterday after Halliburton agreed to pay an out-of-court settlement of $250 million.

By mark swindle design-i. Friday, September 30, 2011. On April 7 an Iranian man self-immolated in Dam Square, Amsterdam in front of horrified onlookers after his third request for political asylum was refused. A spokesman for the Minister of Immigration and Asylum, Gerd Leers, pointed out that the procedures have been executed properly and that the man had all the remedies at his disposal.

By mark swindle design-i. This one has been on my mind of late more than usual, and she's on my mind all the time. Her legion of fans and support staff have been on pins and needles through the month of October as she went through 3 rounds of interviews that finally landed her a new job. After five years in (officially recognized by many authentic sources) Hell - aka a law office. I did the fatherly thing - trying to push this uber.

By mark swindle design-i. Monday, February 21, 2011. This bird flew into the window of my apartment and probably died of brain injuries. If I'd been more conscientious, the use of decals could have averted this accident - but with a housecat, Henry Buttons, who would often eat several birds/day. Perhaps this was a quicker, easier death. The same beloved research entity, DARPA, that brought us the gift of self-hopping, self-healing landmines. At age 17 I picked up a sci fi novel (whose name I can't recall...
