Since I'm still in the United States for a few more days, I thought I'd include some random thoughts. Be warned - these have nothing do do with my trip, and are kind of frivolous.
I love watching the food network and I think the reason is that it's about totally unimportant things. The Iron Chef, for example, has almost nothing to do with my daily life. I will never cook in Kitchen Stadium, nor do I intend to. But after a day of reading about earthquakes, hiking the butte, and semi-stressing over the never-ending peace process, there is something very comforting about watching other people cook. Or maybe it's about watching them stress out over a broccoli spear. Whatever the ratio is, it's relaxing because the things they are uptight over have no relevance to me. I don't even like broccoli.
Also, when you offer to take someones picture and they tell you to "just push the button" I'm always a little amused. Did they think I was going to get under a dark camera hood and pull a string?
That's all for today kids, see ya tomorrow
