Data Fun :{

It is time to work though the Data. Yes the mind numbing job of looking through the information line by line to try and make sure everything is up to date.

This kind of work can be reduced with one of many programs available in today's, tomorrow's and even yesterday's software market. Yet there would be no one else, besides myself who could maintain such a useful tool. Therefore it is not here for me to used. A sad state of things.

It just burns in side knowing that such a solution is possible and I can use it. The good news is that the list is not that long. Only 1500 rows of data to check. NO problem!

Medical Expeditions International

The weather is nice and the chance of showers seems low for the moment. We have some wonderful Doctors from the USA who are doing a free clinic at the Loseling Altruistic Medical Association's (LAMA) clinic for a week. Medical Expeditions International arranges such free clinics in remote places around the world. This is MEI'a fifth group to visit Loseling. They see as many people as time permits. They accept everyone on a first come first serve basis.

Every group brings its own skills set. So they always provide basic level of care with a new special bonus every time. As this group of dedicated professionals give from the heart they receive that bit of graduate seldom seen today in the jaded medical system.

The chance to make a real difference in someone's life can be just as refreshing and rejuvenating as any holiday you can think of. This I think is the main reason there are many who have been back to the LAMA clinic more then once.

Slice of Time

The broken systems like phone, power, water, slow us down from our normal routine. The infrastructure we depend on multiple times a day we usually take for granted until it stops working. For many people this is very stressful. We are suffering because we miss the system or pattern that gives us comfort.

So what is the up side?

We have to learn to work and think differently. We are forced to see our daily tasks from a new perspective. We can do something completely out of step with our lives. There can be a moment with nothing to do but relax, reflect, and find inspiration.
