10K – 54 min 36 sec
My last 10k — last year — goofing and taking photos — was 60 minutes.
So for the OCEANSIDE 10K Road & Trail Race Mother’s Day FUN RUN, I tried to push steady.
For a million dollars, I’m not sure I could break 50 minutes.
… but I’d love to give it a try. 🙂
not as happy as I think I am
Yep. I’m living in denial. 🙂
more security, less privacy
Like pretty much everyone, I’m pissed off.
Pissed off that two yahoos had the freedom to maim and kill innocents.
I, for one, am willing to have less freedom in exchange for more security.
Yes I know that authorities will abuse that power. I’m willing to chance it.
More cameras. More intercept of communication.
Drones I’m less certain about. But probably yes to drone surveillance, as well.
not only is my short-term memory horrible …
Thanks Helen.

AIDS in South Africa
… South Africa is believed to have more people with HIV/AIDS than any other country in the world.
The 2007 UNAIDS report estimated that 5,700,000 South Africans had HIV/AIDS, or just under 12% of South Africa’s population …
The other top five countries with the highest HIV/AIDS prevalence are all neighbours of South Africa. …
The four main HIV/AIDS awareness campaigns in South Africa are Khomanani (funded by the government), LoveLife (primarily privately funded), Soul City (a television drama for adults) and Soul Buddyz (a television series for teenagers).
Soul City and Soul Buddyz are the most successful campaigns although both campaigns experienced a slight loss of effectiveness between 2005 and 2008. Khomanani is the least successful campaign, although its effectiveness has increased by more than 50% between 2005 and 2008.
The dubious quality of condoms which are distributed is a setback to these efforts. In 2007, the government recalled more than 20 million locally manufactured condoms which were defective. …
One local told me that there are some poor South Africans not worried to get AIDS so they can go on benefits.
Some of those, of course, are pregnant.
