Fishy story and Women's day

ABC news tonight .... 84 percent of fish you buy in the USA is imported, only 2 percent is checked.

ABC investigation has shown a high fraud in selling fish in the USA is NOT the fish you think you are buying. And it does not stop with Supermarkets, it is just as high a fraud in Restaurants.

You can probably find more details about this subject on ABC website.
 Hummmmm.....that is a true fishy story.
..........

It's a day women can rejoice: The British Commonwealth has voted unanimously to change the law regarding who (man or woman) takes the British Throne. It will now be law that a male will NOT take precedent over a female. So it means if William and Kate have their first child and it is a girl....she gets the throne.

And as the Commonwealth leaders agree, in this world of the 21st century, inheriting the Throne of Britain should have nothing to do with sex gender.

So a good modern victory for the female.... yes indeed.
..........

An earthquake has hit Peru ... 6.9 on the scale, just below the area where an earthquake happened 4 years go. No reports yet on deaths and injuries.
..........

Thailand continued to be under floods, and Bangkok is flooded out. It's been 50 years or so since anything like this has happened.
..........

A massive SNOW storm is hitting the low Central (Texas) States and going to blow its way up the USA East coast ... snow at this time of the year for that part of the USA has not happened since the Civil War.
Here in Western Canada we are having a very nice sunny and pretty mild Fall so far. Here in Calgary we do not get earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes, and snow can depend on the winter, sometimes a large amount, sometimes not much at all; length of the winter varies a lot as well, sometimes short, sometimes can be long, but in the nearly 14 years I've lived here, only 3 what you could call "bad" winters.
..........

Europe is hoping China, with lots of money, will invest in its Union. China says it will look at all its options and at the present promises nothing, or how much, or investing in whatever.
..........

On a lighter note: The new 3D movie "The Three Musketeers" is a good fun fluff movie if you like that sorts of old world action. Yes went to see it, and yes a good fun movie.

Will mention again the "Christian" movie "Courageous" - very fine - super fine, and so go to see it if it's playing in your area, or buy it when out on DVD.
