Multiple explosions have rocked London and created chaos in that country. This a day after the announcement that London will host the 2012 Olympic games and the start of the G8 summit. Coincidence? I don't think so. The terrorists continue to create turmoil and cause death.

Nature appreciation: There is a stretch of road in Henrietta, a town in Rochester, which is lined with the mall and a Wegman's and multiple other stores. It's a very busy stretch of road. Each spring and summer there is always a flock of Canada geese that literally stop traffic while they cross the road. It's sometimes amusing, sometimes frustrating (if one is in a hurry), but it always makes me stop and think I need to appreciate life and what's in it more. I even recently noticed a flock of geese that frolic on the lawn outside the building in which I work. They are out there every morning as I'm leaving.

Jaw dropper of the day: In Berlin, a driver who was racing in a Porsche at the airport with other members of a local Porsche club, got a surprise when a plane landed on his roof. The plane, a single engine plane, landed on the roof of the Porsche as it was travelling 100mph. There was a lot of damage done to both the plane and the car but neither pilot nor driver were hurt. The plane was steady on top of the roof at first then the driver slammed on the brakes and sent the plane crashing to the ground.

Enjoy your day,

paul
