It didn’t last long, a new storm blew in, and it is raining again. Oh well.
I received that picture last night, after I was asleep, along with a request for additional financial assistance. I hadn’t had a chance to respond yet, and then I received a message from his wife advising that Emmanuel passed away this morning. Sad news, but at least his suffering is over now.
My Fitbit monitors me in my sleep, and the night before, I had the worst sleep score ever:
One of the problems I’ve been having is coughing up phlegm again. I’m going to consult with Dr. Jo this afternoon and try to nip this in the bud. I don’t want to ever experience those breathing attacks I suffered from last year again.
Despite the rainy weather, the Wednesday Walkers ventured out yesterday for a street hike through Matain and Calapacuan.
When it was that time of day again, Swan and I opened the umbrellas and walked into town. I asked her if she preferred getting a drink first or eating first. She chose food, so our next stop was Mylene’s.
After dinner, we ended our evening at Green Room. We departed earlier than usual because we were seeing videos posted of the river overflowing the highway bridge, and we didn’t want to get stuck in the inevitable traffic jam. It was a close call, but we made it home without incident.
It is now December 2013, as I continue my journey through the LTG archives. I was surprised to discover this post where I mentioned a version of my fantasy “do-over” afterlife. Damn, I’ve been thinking about what comes next for twelve years now. Here’s hoping for twelve more years to figure out how to make that happen.
Today’s YouTube video is also from the 2013 archives. It’s only two and a half minutes and worth watching, if for no other reason than to see a good-looking white girl.
And now I hope you’ll humor me while I share these:
And now it is time to move on with the day, whatever it may bring.
Here’s hoping you see drier paths soon.
I see with the mere mention of water in any shape or form certain posters here are absolutely silent . I guess they must have an aversion to water, and quite possibly soap too!
I am only presenting the facts as I encounter them.
Btw, the anon posting above was by Barry (and most certainly not that ever-so-kind and gentlemanly dashing young lad Gary).
“In a recent report, Ocean Conservancy claims that China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam are spewing out as much as 60 percent of the plastic waste that enters the world’s seas.”
Why do they not care about the environment in Asia? Some cultural selfishness thing?
For some reason my AVG anti virus was blocking your web site . I had to add it as an exception to get here. FYI in case someone else complains from another source that your web site is blocked .
Barry,
Signed *Doctor* (I’ll note you *aren’t* one of those) Greg Williamson!!!!
Your comment is worse than the time I was required to French kiss Tori Spelling on Beverley Hills 90210.
Truly vomit inducing!
Sorry, Dr. Greg. Personal attacks on other commenters isn’t permitted at LTG. You can abuse me instead.
Sorry, Ian. I’ve edited your comment.
Terry, that’s scary and weird. I have no idea what might be causing that. Glad you found me again! If there is a fix I can implement on my end, let me know.
Dan, I can only speak to the Philippines, but there is definitely a litter culture here. I’m not just talking about dropping candy wrappers on the ground; I’ve seen people throwing bags of garbage into the river. Which then wind up in the ocean. Whenever we have a high tide, it is amazing to see the garbage left behind on the beach. And yeah, it is mostly plastic bottles.
Kevin, into each life some rain must fall. I have something different to bitch about soon enough.
Barry , you sound like a really swell and handsome and kind and highly intelligent person, even after the nefarious wannabe-editor-of-a-New York publishing house John “I Edit As I See Fit, Naggers” McCrarey edited your original well-to-do comment. I wish I were you, Barry, I truly do.
