What a great experience. I should be home in less than 28 hours.
I will arrive Sunday morning with enough time to wash clothes and get ready for work on Monday. Hopefully, I will get enough sleep on the plane so I won't be very affected by jetlag.

I arrived in Nanning less than a week ago and I'm having a nice time so far.
Good thing I brought boots as my daily treks through the old section of downtown require good foot support.
Cellphone & internet is somewhat limited, but I'll manage.
More updates when time permits.

Flyers were distributed by the city explaining they would be in the neighborhood doing repairs on cracked sewer lines. In order to do this, they will pump harmless smoke into the pipes for leak detection. The letter explained the process and told us to be sure all the sinks and toilets have been used recently so the traps are filled with water or there is a chance that smoke could rise from the drains.
There you have it... The city is blowing smoke up my ass.
Thanks for reading my blog !
(I'm debating to change the spelling of flyers to fliers)

The election for president of the United States has ended. The results are Barack Obama wins a 2nd term. Some will be pleased and some will complain. This is politics. See you in 2016.

Windows 8

Gather 'round kiddies, Windows 8 is here. Hopefully, you all have recovered from the upgrades when you switched to Windows 7.
I'll probably read some reviews later this week, but I see that TigerDirect is offering over 30 new models with W8 and many will have upgrade incentives.
Hurry... hurry... hurry.
What will W8 do for you?
In general, it's sleeker, more connected to social networking and takes advantage of touch screen monitors.
I have a touch screen netbook that's running Windows 7 and qualifies for the W8 upgrade for $15, so I'll probably install it.

Celebrity Endorsements... in the political arena

I've always disliked it when celebrities (usually actors or musicians) become outspoken on politics and use their 'celebrity clout' (in an attempt) to influence people to vote for their favorite candidate.
Does this jeopardize or further their career?
Maybe in some cases it further jeopardizes their career!
Humanitarian causes... lovely.
Politics... you've crossed the line in my book.
Madonna qualifies for the list. She opened her mouth at a concert this week and was booed by the audience. Singer Meatloaf made a fool of himself as though he was drunk.
Bad taste. When will they learn?
I'll quote my dad on this subject "Oh, shut the hell up!"

Nudity, profanity and promoting your business...

A few weeks ago, I tried to have a photo approved. It was me and my 18 month old granddaughter. The photo was rejected... twice because it didn't comply with the rules. I was allowed to post it on a 2nd album, but not the primary album. Why so strict was my thought.
For more than two months someone blogging their 'manly skills' had a blog with profanity, nude photos of himself and solicited their service (including sexual pleasures) despite some complaints from the others who blog here. How strange... why was this offensive blog here for so long?
I scanned the 'terms of use' and believe this persons blog was clearly in violation.. Again, why did it remain online for such a long time?
I'm listed on a few dating sites and they each have their own rules. Maybe, it's something I missed.

我是肥胖，丑陋，穷，白色的头发
我的牙齿是腐烂的。 我失业。
我无家可归，我依赖政府帮助。
计算机吗？ 我在图书馆借计算机。
我是一位美国公民。
我在这里正寻找一位中国妻子。
她一定美丽。 活泼。
你想要与我结婚吗？
请送一条消息。
我等待你的答复！
谢谢你。

I don't like to blog politics, but this is too important to miss.
It appears in a clean sweep 'never been done before' in the history of America, Republican candidate, Mitt Romney has taken 100% of every poll taken today. Due to this accomplishment, he will be sworn in as 45th President of the United States of America on Monday morning in a ceremony beginning 7am, well in advance of the upcoming November election and the swearing in ceremony in January. Why waste taxpayers money holding an election?
Current President Barack Obama, his wife Michelle and their & pets have been notified by Secret Service to pack their bags as 'checkout' time is 11am.
Congratulations Mitt on an unprecedented job... we knew you could do it!
In the mean time, Barack has been on the phone to a few friends locating a place for him to say. Some inside sources reveal they have found an abandoned factory once owned by Bain that will serve as a "shack-up" until he can arrange some public housing on the outskirts of Chicago.
