The Labor Day holiday found me down under, in the lovely country of New Zealand. Highlights of the trip: I enjoyed the city of Auckland, drove south to snowboard on a volcano called Mt. Ruapehu, and visited friends. As usual, the locals were fantastic! I’d love to go back for an extended hollydays. And I also visited Oakland, a city with 1,5 million inhabitanst, laying not far of 48 volcanos(they are not active anymore!)

Oil is at the core of issues like the health of our communities, global warming, war, and developing country debt. The profits of the oil companies have increased just as the price of gas for all of us has gone up. But whats good for Exxon, Chevron, and others is not necessarily good for the rest of us. Its time to ensure that our representatives represent us, not the oil companies. Its time for a separation of oil and state.

Feel happy and enjoy life, but don’t reduce Santa Claus to presents! Try to live it deeper, it is a spirit you need to feel. Otherwise, it’s pity for wasting such precious moments.

What do you know about New Zealand? Two big islands, the north and the south island, as you can see in this satellite image. A non nuclear country, having also a strong profile in environment. Politically, is very close to the neighbouring Australia, and also a sort of lider in Oceania. Now is summer there, and you are waited. Heard something about the Maori? About Wellington, Christchurch? Wate little more, and you’ll be fond of New Zealand, I am sure!
