Rant: Google has more information on Mars than three countries on Earth.

Here is my first rant.

I am tired of it. It is absurd, it is insane. Google has excellent first-class information on everything except for three countries on Earth. They have more information on the smallest countries in Europe than on these three countries.

You may have noticed it too. Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia have no information. I am hoping that Google will fix this and put on roads, territories, cities, etcetera onto their maps. I know Google Earth doesn't have their roads either, but I just would like that because Google Earth refuses to run on my machine. I have a graphics card driver, but it won't recognize it, and I need help can anyone do this?

FreeRice

Two days ago the local news station did an article on FreeRice.com, a site where you click on the definition of a word and then you donate 10 grains of rice to the poor and hungry. I did about 5000 yesterday, but today I just did 10,000 grains which I just did at 6:14 PM while listening to Handel's Water Music on the speakers in the living room. I started this morning and I feel great!

There was orchestra practice today and I enjoyed it immensely.

That is how today went. Played with the dogs for about 30 minutes straight from about 5:30 to 6:16.

Turmoil in Georgia

I am very bothered by the trouble Georgia (the country) is having. I wish that Abkhazia would talk with Saakashvili et all, and I wish they were doing well. I worry so much because I have friends over there and I wish they were doing better. It makes me sad that this is happening.

I want it to be calmer over there and lively as it was a week ago. The BBC has a collection of pictures that show what it is like at http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_pictures/7085005.stm. check it out!

Who I am

I love Star Wars. When I am an adult I plan to work with bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria and save lives every day.

Other things I like are Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, climate change, and geography.


That is me!
