Sun-reflector

March 10,2009.I read on a news item that says and I quote,"Heavy Snow driven by wind
gusting to 40mph brought parts of the upper Midwest to a halt Tuesday,closing courts,schools,businesses and a major highway.In Fargo ND."Unquote.

This item reminds me of an incident completely opposite to the news item in the
Philippines,in Southeast Asia,where a cop was rushed to a nearby hospital in downtown
Manila for treatment of Heat-stroke due to exposure to a 34 degrees Celsius heat and
humidity.Extremely different occurrences at the opposing sides of our Globe.

But in approximately the same time of the day,week,month and year.Snow on the one side and heat on the other.

When I was Ten years old in the early Seventies,being a child,was afraid to go near
a forest thinking that if I get lost and no one will ever see and notice me,how could
I get out?,then I was thinking maybe its good to have an old milk can without a string which I could use to call someone for help.

After Twenty years,Cellular and wireless phones became handy assisting us whenever
we need to call anyone.In the same token,maybe another Twenty years from now,we will
be able to see a Sun-reflector to divert a Sun ray from the opposite side of the
Earth and use it to melt the Snow on the other side of the planet.How we can do it?

Kindly help me think about it.Till then.

Trend of time

As we are coping to survive the difficulties brought about by the ongoing economic
downturns,people from all walks of life struggle firmly by finding some alternative
activities to divert their maladies into possible opportunities.

Some are still hoping for a year or two to see a positive result.But most are
just standing bye and believing that somehow they might be luckier if they will try in lotteries and slot machines in casino houses.

In Southern California alone,casino becomes a sanctuary of people who wanted to
earn easy money.But most of the time these same people got into the bottom of debts
for losing their money on gambling activities.

More and more flyer's are being disposed and mailed at homes to lure them come and play for a free slot dollars,but eventually they end up losing substantial amount
to sustain their families' needs.

In a way, yes, to go out for a while and enjoy a bit to play the slot machines.
Maybe it helps generate employment for restaurants and other casino personnel.But we must be extra careful not to become victims of irresponsible gambling.
