  Pass the Lysol Life | (2)

  There is an ozone warning for tomorrow. It is the second time in my life that I hear of such thing. You would think that after 33 years on this earth, I would know it all. Me, supposedly a biologist with two or more ecology and climatology courses on my back... hmmm... anyway! Growing up, I didn't know what allergies were. Everyone around me ate peanuts and nobody was sent to the hospital after turning blue. I also never heard of strep infections, or it was probably called something else. Lacking seasons, there was no pollen or evil trees making us ...

  The Joy of Volunteering Life | (2)

  I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.

Anyway, as I overheard the conversation, I started to wonder why some people in the United States are so intolerant when it comes to foreign languages and accents sometimes. This is, after all, a country made by immigrants; people who come to this country from ...

  Ortega? Sure… Pffft! Colombia, News | (0)

  Now that the Colombian army has rescued a group of hostages, and that the Farc feel they really have to do something about putting an end to decades of non-sense, they decide they won't negotiate with the current government. They say, and I quote, that only a new government, which is truly democratic, born from a national agreement, could retake the path of the search for a political solution. What a bunch of crap! That is what they have been saying for the past 40 years. And they continue with their rampage of violence and abuse toward Colombians. And then they ...
