I’m going to have to copyright my “long shadow at dawn” photo technique from my long walks!
Nice pics of the walk and of snack distribution. Are you ramping up the volume of snacks you distribute these days?
Chili and cheesecake both look great, as does the sausage casserole. Looks to have been a good gathering. More to come?

The longest journey begins with a single step.
Ah, yes—poured concrete! An Asian standby.
Jim showing the local kids how it’s done.
Took me a bit to see the ball. Did he sink the basket?
And yes, the burgers I was served were delicious.
I like how one is upside-down, but I imagine that doesn’t affect the taste. Are those brioche buns? At a guess, they are.
Trivia: sometimes, though, you do have to consider gravity when stacking your burger. If you don’t want the burger’s juices to soak your bottom bun, making it fray like wet toilet paper, you have to put down a nice bed of lettuce (“bottomings” instead of toppings) to catch the burger juice. Other things like pickles and tomatoes can go on top of the burger.
With Reubens, gravity is even more important because you’re layering on sauerkraut, which is very runny. Never put sauerkraut on the bottom slice of bread. I’ve been to restaurants where the kitchen was retarded and stacked the Reuben wrong, and the result was a sad, soaked experience.
The nighttime views were quite pleasant as well.
I’m tempted to Photoshop a dragon flying in the distance. It looks like a dragon-y sort of night.

A sweet love story, for sure.
So there’s hope: long-lasting relationships are possible!
And no, I was not adventurous enough to give one of these dishes a try.
Too bad. The biriyani looks good. But so do the pork and wings.
Some snuggle time on the couch watching “Shameless.”
You’re getting close to the end. Eleven seasons, right? Next up:
1. Blue Eye Samurai (Netflix)
2. The Boys (Amazon Prime Series)If you’re not an Amazon Prime member, I’m not sure how you might see “The Boys.”
The photo itself is from 1986 when I was making the move from Oklahoma to South Carolina, and that required transporting my daughter’s horse.
You ride? In 1986, I was a high-school junior from January to June, then a high-school senior from September through June of 1987. No horse-transporting for me back then. But in the summer of ’86, I went to France for the first time; the first week of my month there was spent on a farm in Normandy, where I learned a bunch of French vocabulary—all farm-related. I had my first experience feeding calves (fortified powdered milk plus hot water); they throw their heads up at random moments, which startled me. Uncle Charles, the old guy running the farm and the brother of my French Maman, explained that calves reflexively throw their heads up against the cow’s udder to push out more milk. I got shat on by adult cows hooked up to milking machines; the loud pumps made them nervous. Before entering the barn where the milking machines were, I was given a raincoat by Charles, who knew what was going to happen next. I also flung and stacked hay bales, helped uproot old trees and toss the cut-up pieces into a truck, and tried hard to understand Charles’s “ch’ti” accent (see here), which was like the French version of Sean Connery’s Scottish accent. Family dinners, conversations with my French buddy on top of tall stacks of hay in a farm… it was a memorable first week of a memorable month in France. But no horses. It was all cows and cow patties.
Filipinas love pineapple on their pizza.
This sounds like code language for something. “Hey, little chica… want some a’ my pineapple on your pizza?” Eyebrow waggle.
Good times, good times.

I guess a hard climb is a good extraction method for the shit that accumulates in my lungs. At least it worked yesterday.
That, and a nice, hot, steamy shower. When there’re no brownouts.
I think if you drug your girlfriend up that long climb for a “romantic getaway” here at the “Little Lovers Camp,” she [would likely be] an ex when you [got] back down.
(Took me a sec to realize “drug” is the hillbilly preterite form of “dragged.” For a moment, I was thinking Bill Cosby thoughts. Do you also use the expression “stood in bed” when you mean “stayed in bed”?)
I guess it depends on the girlfriend. If she’s a climber herself, she’ll be fine when she gets to the top. I remember some of my female students talking about trotting up Bukhansan (local mountain) in record time. That’s a steep incline, too, and the trailhead-to-summit hike times they gave me put me to shame.
What’s left of a tree.
When that thing finally dies, it’d be nice to make a sculpture out of it.
Refreshments at Dynamite Dick’s.
The young guy giving a thumbs-up can’t possibly be a retiree, so what’s his deal?

The symbol for Inflatable Island makes it look like a nuclear plant.
The best view from a comfort room in Barretto is at Cheap Charlies.
Really nice shot. You should just tell them you’re moving in, and that this is your new mini-apartment, and anyone wanting to use the facilities may do so only if they pay $20 for Number 1 and $30 for Number Two.
I was walking the beach at Baloy and had to take a leak, so I stopped at Treasure Island.
I’m surprised you didn’t just go to the beach and walk out until you were hip deep in water, then just stand there and let fly. Or is that illegal? How would anyone know?
Just make the breast of the situation.
This is like the beginning of a porn movie. It only gets better from here.

I’d kill for your numbers.
I drank too much and had a misunderstanding with Swan.
This keeps happening. You don’t want to be the source of drama, friend. If this happens too often, Swan will elect to get off the roller coaster. If I had an emotionally unstable Significant Other, I know I would.
Just a thought: quitting alcohol makes you more emotionally stable and less prone to doing stupid things.
Anyway, I hope the meds work, and the COPD stays in its corner.

Swan was with her former boyfriend for over seventeen years, and they never tied the knot. Not sure why.
Maybe they were trying that Kurt-and-Goldie thing, being together effectively as a married couple, but without all of the constraining paperwork.

re: McDonald’s kiosk
More and more in Korea, the ordering process is being dehumanized by these devices, which Koreans refer to as mu-in (“no person”) kiosks—literally dehumanized. But the whole thing is very well organized: type in your order on the touch screen and pay with your card; the kiosk spits out a ticket with a call number, then you wait and watch your number make its progress across a big monitor screen with other call numbers. A bell sounds when your number comes up, and you go to the counter to get your order from a human. No fuss, no muss. You just have to be paying attention when the bell tolls for thee. What you’ve got in the PI sounds like a mess. Collect your call number at the counter, not right at the machine? Your order is placed on the counter, but no bell sounds to alert you? Weird, and with lots of potential for chaos. (Then again, an overly orderly existence can feel crushingly oppressive.)
I’m typing this out as you’re at your doctor’s appointment, so I hope that’s going well, and they find the source of your shortness of breath. What could it be, I wonder, given the absence of nasal polyps?
I always married my side chicks.
But as I’ve asked with all of your other side chicks up to now: does your current side chick know you’re still technically (and legally) married? If not, when will she get the happy news (hopefully not by reading my comment!)? And what if the relationship deepens to the point where she wants to marry you? Are you ready for the ultimate commitment?

I guess a name pronounced “mercy” could be spelled “Merci,” but anyone reading the name would assume it’s French and pronounce it “meyr-SEE,” which means “thank you,” not “mercy.” Aside from miséricorde (Lord’s mercy), another way to say “mercy” is pitié, which you might shout if someone is about to kill you with a sledgehammer, gun, dildo, or other implement.
miséricorde = divine mercy (refraining from soul-damning)
pitié = refraining from hurting/killing/abandoning/punishingGood luck at the doc’s. May you discover what ails you and experience la miséricorde divine, or at least the sweet mercy of science.
(That linked video clip is from “The Boys,” Season 3. Great series.)

You’ve blessed us with many food pics. Nice.
I haven’t changed. Well, it’s only been fifty years.
Giving off a park-ranger vibe in that photo. My ex-military dad would’ve said, “Cut that hair, boy! High and tight!”
re: a wife named Mercy
I’m guessing “Mercy” is a Catholic name rooted in the concept of God’s mercy (French miséricorde, Spanish misericordia).

Sometimes, we just have down days. I had one yesterday, but today, I’m doing better. Dips in performance happen. (That’s what she said.)

A normal day, but with some do-gooding included.
I always assumed the pronunciation was “bah-rahng-guy.” In most other languages, there’s never a reason to assume an “a” will be pronounced “ey.” That’s pretty much just an anglophone thing.

Looks to have been a good time. Happy Birthday to the birthday boy.
The saddest thing I’ve seen in a long time.
You have to wonder whether poverty is a choice for some people. If you gave that family a proper home to live in, would they stay in it, or would they act like “mama”?

If looks could kill, Picard would be a dead man. (did I leave something dangling here?)
That’s just a normal old complex sentence (i.e., one independent clause and one dependent clause). “If looks could kill” is the dependent clause, not a modifier.
A lot of the problem comes back to knowing what a clause is. It’s a group of words with both a subject and a verb. A modifier is just a phrase acting like an adjective—no subject, no verb.
When he was five, Robert saw a turtle.
(Clause. “He” is the subject; “was” is the verb.)As a Vulcan, Spock betrayed no outward emotion.
(Modifier. “As a Vulcan” = a phrase w/no subject or verb, modifying “Spock.”)dependent clause = incomplete thought that can’t stand on its own
independent clause = complete thought that can stand on its own(See Commas, Part 1.)
I hope Swan’s restaurant continues to exist. (Was tempted to say “stays afloat,” but that might prompt a bad floating-bar pun in response!)
Google Image Search thinks your lizard is a gecko.
Nice sunset pics as always. It’s becoming a recurrent motif. Your blog banner is also a sunset, so I’m tempted to extract some deeper meaning from all of the sunset images. (Or does your banner show a sunrise?)

I kept going with the group, and eventually, my second wind kicked in, and I felt much stronger.
This is the second post in recent memory in which you mention a second wind, so I was expecting this at the end of your post.
From Dick’s[,] I could see that sign on top of the first hill we climbed.
I’m starting to love your arrows. Are they drawn by finger? They look like blue cacti. I finger-draw things on my phone, too. A stylus (or just a pencil with an eraser) might make my lines a little smoother.
Her shift is 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and for now, she only works on Wednesday and Thursday.
It’s good she’s doing that only two days a week. A 12-hour shift is soul-killing.
So, I threw the money on the ground, grabbed a beer, and went up to the roof to pout. Yeah, I can be a real asshole sometimes. I don’t handle rejection well, and I thought it was rude to not appreciate my kind gesture. Anyway, I eventually regained my sanity, we talked it through and made peace before going to bed.
Jesus Christ, dude. She wants a measure of independence, too. You’re partners in this relationship, not codependent. If she’s not needy, that’s a plus. No need to add drama, especially after she’s come home from a 12-hour shift. It’s also possible for her to reject a kind gesture while still appreciating it. Anyway, you at least talked it out, so all’s well that ends well, I guess.
I’ve said this before, but a healthy relationship is between two independent people, not two needy, codependent souls. “Let there be spaces in your togetherness.”

Okay, so the exercise was to correct the following erroneous sentences.
1. Sitting patiently on the toilet, it was a long wait before Barton saw the python again.
2. As a trained chef, the restaurant prized Pierre’s skills.
3. Beaten often as a child, the dank basement was a familiar prison to Aldous.Your answers:
1. Barton had a long wait…
2. Pierre’s skills were prized by the restaurant
3. Aldous was familiar with the dank basement prison.The answers you gave don’t contain the complete content of the original sentences, so for at least two of the three sentences, it’s hard to tell whether you truly understood how to make the correction. Discussion:
1. There’s no ellipsis (…) at the front of your sentence, so I assume you mean that “Barton” is now the first word of the sentence, which means you’ve simply dumped the modifier entirely. That avoids the purpose of the exercise.
2. In this sentence, the modifier is “As a trained chef,” so who is that talking about? Is it talking about “Pierre,” or about “Pierre’s skills”? I’d have to call this one incorrect. “Pierre’s skills” are not “a trained chef.”
3. As with (1), you seem to have dumped the modifier entirely. An ellipsis (…) at the head of the sentence would clarify that what you wrote is what follows the modifier (“Beaten often as a child, …”).
What I was hoping to see was something like:
1. Sitting patiently on the toilet, Barton waited a long time before he saw the python again.
2. As a trained chef, Pierre was prized by the restaurant for his skills.
3. Beaten often as a child, Aldous was familiar with the dank basement prison.Now, with (3), you might say, “Well, that’s what I meant because that’s exactly what I wrote!”—but as I said, without the ellipsis, it’s hard for me to know that. It would have been nice to have included the modifier since the whole point of the exercise was to correct dangling modifiers. That’s true for your other answers, too.
Anyway, you’ve inspired me to write a blog post about dangling modifiers. Do people really talk in that “dangling” way? Yes, but it reflects a mental sloppiness that leads to spoken and written sloppiness. When I read prose, I’m fine when the dialogue in the prose is ungrammatical as a reflection of “how people talk,” but the rest of the narrative should reflect a higher quality of organized thought. Example: JK Rowling’s dialogue for Hagrid (who comes off as rough and untutored despite a Hogwarts education) versus JK Rowling’s narrative voice.
Right—I shall pester you no longer with this. Anything more will be over at my blog.

John,
Dangling modifier again! Barely a day or so later!
WRONG: As a child, French was difficult.
RIGHT: As a child, I found French difficult.So:
As a kid growing up in Southern Cal, Shakey’s was THE place for pizza.
“As a kid” is the modifier, and what it modifies should be the subject of the ensuing clause. In the above sentence, “As a kid” has nothing to modify—you’ve left it dangling there, which is why the error is called a dangling modifier. “Shakey’s” is not “a kid growing up in Southern Cal.”
Rewrite:
As a kid growing up in Southern Cal, I knew Shakey’s was THE place for pizza.
You could also change the modifier into its own clause, thereby avoiding the dangling-modifier problem:
When I was a kid growing up in Southern Cal, Shakey’s was THE place for pizza.
Try rewriting these erroneous sentences:
1. Sitting patiently on the toilet, it was a long wait before Barton saw the python again.
2. As a trained chef, the restaurant prized Pierre’s skills.
3. Beaten often as a child, the dank basement was a familiar prison to Aldous.» Posted By Kevin Kim On 11/January/2024 @ 8:07 am
D’oh! I almost forgot:
As a kid growing up in Southern Cal, Shakey’s was THE place for pizza.

As usual, my driver, Danny, arrived on time and ready to provide transportation.
Is this my first time ever seeing Danny, or have you photographed him before? Seeing Danny feels new to me… or maybe I’m just getting old and senile.
Swan and my helper, Teri, also came along to provide their assistance.
Swan seems to be laughing at a private joke.
As a kid growing up in Southern Cal, Shakey’s was THE place for pizza.
Shakey’s was a fixture from my childhood on the east coast as well. We had one up the street on Route 1, maybe ten minutes’ drive from my neighborhood. As elementary-school kids playing league soccer and tee ball, we’d often go as a group for pizza at the end of a season.
Same with Swan.
She’s looking for work, right? How’s that going?
But the foreigner who had it built got disappeared and his body never found. The house remains vacant to this day.
Is it cursed or something? Are you still thinking of moving there?
I still don’t get how foreigners get to build houses and run businesses if they can’t own anything in the PI.
I went with a grilled chicken leg.
Chicken and taters look great. The veggies look like a humorous afterthought.
And Swan enjoyed some fried chicken wings.
Is that peanut sauce? Yum.
Thanks for the shopping-trip photo essay. Now, I know a bit more about what your Tuesdays are like.

I’m not sure which is worse–getting your ass kicked but getting it over with or being ground down until you are a wheezing mess.
I prefer the long, shallow uphill to the short, steep uphill. But the mountain you’re on rarely gives you a choice.
Presently, the roads here are only suitable for trikes and motorbikes, once cars and trucks have access all bets are off.
Spot the errors!
I thanked her for allowing us to trespass with a bag of cookies.
I wonder what would have happened had you tried trespassing without a bag of cookies.

The path that path that lies before us.
If that’s a pun, I’m not getting it.
Swan told me that when I didn’t come back right away from the CR, she assumed I was seeing another girl in the bar.
On one hand, Swan could be seen as oversensitive and too quick to jump to conclusions (which she was in this case). On the other hand, your associations with these girls/women will always be fraught with danger precisely because they’re girls/women—a point I’ve made repeatedly at the risk of sounding prudish. Would you be going through all this effort to feed and entertain the female staff if they weren’t female? I think we both know the answer is no. So trying to deny sexual subtext by saying these associations are “meaningless” does nothing to improve the situation from Swan’s point of view, and because she seems like every other Filipina-in-a-relationship that you’ve described before, she’s super-prone to jealousy. So from my point of view, something has to give: either keep associating with your girls and potentially incur Swan’s wrath, or give up your associations and commit fully to Swan. (You know which alternative I think is healthier.)
All that heaviness aside, I enjoyed the pics of the walk.

To be clear: the sub-JUNCT-ive mood.
sub = under
junct = joininge.g., a conjunction is a joining-together
In French, réfléchir = to think about, reflect on. In the indicative mood, “He reflects” is Il réfléchit. But in the subjunctive “It is necessary that he reflect” (more naturally, “He has to reflect”), this becomes Il faut qu’il réfléchisse. You see how different the verb looks in French. Also true for Spanish and German: the subjunctive mood is very visible. Contrast this with the English “I’m happy that you came to the party!” Technically, you’re looking at the subjunctive mood (“happy that” = emotion), but no change from the regular conjugation is visible.
Did the above put you to sleep?
» Posted By Kevin Kim On 08/January/2024 @ 7:02 am
I’m not sure why this made me think of Kevin Kim.
Technically, she should’ve used the subjunctive mood and said, “I wish I were rich.” The subjunctive is used in cases of strong emotion, necessity, and wishing.
• The king sent his guards along with the princess for fear that she be accosted by bandits.
• It is necessary that you be there by five.
• Sally wished she were a porn star.The subjunctive isn’t always that visible in English, but it’s way more visible in languages like French, Spanish, and German.
I hope the chips in that taco salad weren’t overcooked. It looked like unmelted cheese and overcooked chips to me.
Yes, you’re a creature of habit, but with Swan stepping out with you more openly, it seems to me there’s a lot less drama in your life of late. Which is good.

The cemetery is monumental.
A parkour athlete with no sense of the sacred might love doing a run through a cemetery like that. Ah, I see it’s a thing.
At least they spelled my name right!
Aljohn? I see no space between “Al” and “John.”
The inflatable island…actually, we saw two of these monstrosities on our beach walk.
Looks like a place to film a reality-TV show.
My shoes at the end of the hike.
See, that’s the thing that gets me—walking with sandy shoes. My feet would be blistered and otherwise irritated.
Those black specks in the mix are bugs.
Do you have a sifter? You could sift the bugs out, then give the mix a little taste (it won’t kill you—promise), and if it seems “off,” you can then chuck it. Otherwise, it’s probably still usable. Any bacteria in the mix will be killed in the baking. 350ºF for around 25-40 minutes (depending on the mix) is enough to kill anything.
A good walk with plenty of changes of scenery. Were the many stairs at the beginning of this walk a boon or a bane?

Okay, that’s fucked. But now, it’s easier to see how you get weird names in the PI like “Bhel” or my friend’s wife’s name of “Sherny.”
Swan joined me for my Thursday Solo (nee couple) hike
The term “née” is the French feminine form of “né,” and it means “born,” past participle of the verb “naître.” (So, the girl’s name “Renée” means “reborn,” and “René” is the masculine.) In English, we use the term to refer to a woman’s original surname, i.e., the name she was born with before she got married and changed her name (for those who still follow that custom, anyway).
Janet Wilson, née Himmler, was happy to have her husband’s surname.
I think you might be better off saying “nay,” as in “no.”
A solo—nay, a couple’s—walk.
re: a bag full of cookies and popsicles
Popsicles? In that heat? Did she store them in a bag of ice or something?
And then I saw God.
Wow, what a gorgeous shot. Is that thanks to smoke or fog/mist?
McDonald’s continues to spread its influence all over town.
Damn. Already appearing as pollution.
It appears I can look forward to more noise in the near future.
That “Soon to rise” on the sign feels almost sinister.
As a former HR professional, this one really resonates.
D’oh! Dangling modifier!
WRONG: As a child, French was difficult.
RIGHT: As a child, I found French difficult.The modifier “As a child” needs something to modify. “French” is not a “child.” By the same token, “this one” is not “a former HR professional.”

All of your walks seem pretty nice, but this one seemed nicer than usual.
Someone said I wonder where that leads?
You’re just doing that to yank my chain.
I see dead people.
I’ve long wondered what’s up with all the icy dead people in a hot country.
The first half of the hike, your photos showed, by implication, that you were ahead of the group. In the latter half, though, you were behind. What happened?
Sorry about the fake smile; she always insists.
I prefer the fake smile to that weird, puffy-lipped thing you do.
All in all, a nice walk. Too bad about the wine. Maybe next time.

Hamas lost two of its leaders in one day!
Source. The article:
WORLD — Hamas is reeling after losing two of their most cherished leaders on the same day: military commander Saleh al-Arouri, and Harvard President Claudine Gay.
“This is a devastating loss for our organization and the world,” said Hamas Leader Ismail Haniyeh while throwing a dart at a dartboard with a picture of a Jew on it. “Al-Arouri helped mastermind our glorious murder/rape party of October 7th, 2023. Claudine Gay presided over the preaching of our message Jew-hatred in America’s Ivy League. This is an incalculable loss.”
Ismail Haniyeh then went back to his game of darts while sitting in a jacuzzi and having his shoulders massaged by a high-priced escort from Dubai.
Eyewitnesses confirmed that al-Arouri was blown up by a rocket while innocently meeting with other innocent Hamas officials planning totally innocent and harmless military operations in the West Bank. Sources also verified that Claudine Gay was forced to step down. Both attacks are being blamed on the Jews.
At publishing time, Hamas had put two ‘help wanted” ads in the New York Times to help them fill both positions.

When I was a kid, my dad took me for a one-day scuba lesson. It was one of the most awesome experiences of my life. Up to that point, if I ever tried to swim down more than six feet deep, my ears would be in agony. But when you’re wearing scuba gear, there must be some sort of pressure-related thing that happens because, with the gear on, I could swim down to the bottom of the deep end of the pool: fifteen feet. I remember just sitting there with my instructor, legs crossed, watching the bubbles ascend to the surface. One day, I’ll try scuba diving again.
