Travel - 1 November 2007

I am going to Tasmania and an old friend (now dead) from that island once told me of a mountain side that looks like a skull's face - I have already tried the official tourist web sites - no joy.

Any one know of this - he did say it was not well known (but that was 50 years ago).

I ask this because I live in LA without a car, and I am thinking of going to a club in Hollywood, then taking the bus back and walking through the Macarthur Park/downtown area along Wilshire, because that's where I will crash after the club. However, I will go alone. I have my doubts about safety that time of night there.

I am moving to America from Germany next year and I am very excited. I visited there for one year as student and love everything about America! Everything is big and there is much more opportunity to get job and make much money. It is unbelievable how much cheaper things are in America. Petrol costs $2.58 USD per gallon but here in Germany it costs roundabout $7.18 USD per gallon! Also milk costs $2.99 USD per gallon in America but $5.60 USD per gallon here! I found one computer of the same model everything the same here in Germany it cost $2 200 USD but in America only $1 050 USD and a full DVD sound system from BOSE cost $3 480 USD in Germany and only $1 199 USD! That is no mistake. Hello? And people are more happy in America and friendly! Everyone in stores say sorry when we have accident but not in Germany. Naja. So why is this so? Why does everything cost so much more here in Europa. France it is even worser. Before I came to America I only heard how good it is but now I know!

some late breaking health news from Reuters (this one is true):

Thursday July 16 6:43 PM EDT

Device reduces flatulence odor

NEW YORK, Jul 16, 1998 (Reuters) -- A polyurethane foam cushion coated with activated charcoal can help people who suffer from flatulence by absorbing offensive odors, according to US researchers.

The device, known as the "Toot Trapper" eliminated over 90% of the odor generated by study volunteers whose diets had been supplemented with pinto beans and lactulose, which enhance flatus output and produces the gas hydrogen sulphide.

Hydrogen sulphide is one of several sulphur-containing gases that have been found to cause the odor associated with flatulence.

"The charcoal-lined cushion effectively limits the escape of these sulphur-containing gases into the environment," write F.L. Suarez and colleagues of the Minneapolis Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Minnesota, in a report in the journal Gut, published by the British Medical Association.

As I have been very active as a supporter on anti Bush political web sites, and not been shy about my identity, is there a possibillity I could be on the no fly list into the US. It would be embarrasing if that is the case, as I am planning on being a chaperone to my granddaughters band class when they are going to play with the Walt Disney orchestra in the spring.

I need to know what kinds of jobs I can advertise for where I can recieve strictly cash upfront, no checks or money orders. I need to find work where I'm off the payroll so I don't have that kind of stress. Answer in length with details if you have knowledge of the subject. Also, the legal rights, such as would I absolutely have to have a business license? If you have any knowledge of that. I'm speaking mainly labor jobs or errands.
