I want to buy a new lawn mower.
So, I checked online and found several.
Which one to buy?
I'm unsure.
So, I read the product reviews to see what others (who bought this model) have found.
The first said "bad product, don't buy it"
The next one said "great product, buy it"
The third said "bad product, don't buy it"
The fourth one said "great product, buy it"
This is confusing.
What a risk that the reviews are totally opposite.
I cannot use such information...
I must physically inspect the merchandise and make my own judgment before making a purchase.
At this point, online product reviews are really worthless.

I am told 七夕 is the seventh evening of the seventh moon in lunar calendar.
相当于西方的情人节
It is equivalent to Western Valentine's Day.
So... Happy Chinese Valentine's Day to all the ladies!

Robert Johnson, musician, died at the age of 27.

Janis Joplin, singer, died at the age of 27.
Jim Morrison, singer (Doors), died at the age of 27.
Kurt Cobain, musician (Nirvana), died at the age of 27.
Amy Winehouse, singer, died at the age of 27.
Alan Wilson, singer (Canned Heat), died at the age of 27.
There are many more famous (and not so famous) musicians who have died at the age of 27... coincidence?
在 27 岁时死了很多著名音乐家。是巧合吗？

我喜欢读地图！ 多少城市是附近河是惊人的。
I love reading maps! it's amazing how many cities are nearby rivers.
中国有长江。 美国有密西西比河。
China has the Yangtze River. America has the Mississippi River.
生命将没有这些河多么难啊。
How difficult life would be without these rivers.
我能花费几小时读地图。 令人遗憾，对于这种嗜好几乎没有时间。
I could spend hours reading maps. Unfortunately, there is little time for this hobby.

很多事情今年已经发生在我身上。 好和坏。 有希望，更多的好东西。
Many things have happened to me this year. Good and bad. Hopefully, more good things (than bad things)
If you have been exchanging e-mails with me, you already know I'm working 7 days a week. Today, was too much. I stayed home and did some house cleaning and laundry. It was necessary. really!
每周7天，我正工作。 今天，我今天保持家做国内职责。 洗衣店，等等
这是我有的全部空闲时间。 现在，我将去食品杂货店购物。 我该吃什么？ 或许鱼和蔬菜！
This is all the free time I have. now, I'm going grocery shopping. What should I eat? probably fish and vegetables!
我真的想要比萨饼。 哈哈！

有时妇女'一半我的年龄'要我结婚。
我微笑并且记得这个笑话：
Old man can keep young woman happy... 'so long' as his wallet is full. When wallet become empty, she say 'so long'
我将翻译成汉语：
如果他的钱包是满的，老人能保持年轻的妇女愉快。
当钱包变得空时，她说 ' 再见'
呵呵呵。。。
或许你理解我的幽默吗？

Do you have a wait problem?

I know I do. Sometimes, heating food in a microwave oven is just too slow. Really. I consistently need things to happen faster. Life is getting that way. Next day air isn't fast enough for my lifestyle anymore. I've gotta have it now.
No, tomorrow is too late. Workers are standing around and I need that hardware NOW !!
Yes, it annoys me when I order pizza and I have to wait 25 minutes for the thing... why aren't they taking it out of the oven when I hang up the phone? They're making pizza all day long... can't they go any faster?
I was talking with a General Contractor and he told me he was sending e-mail while we were on the call... "I just sent you an e-mail, did you receive it?" he said... No... and it was more than a minute to arrive from across town. How frickin' annoying is that?? E-mail should be instantaneous.
This isn't a rant, it's just my assessment of how fast things need to move in life today. My boss asked why I was late to work this morning. "Did you wake up at 7:30?" he said. I answered "No, I was up at 6 o'clock" "So why are you late today?" he asked and I replied "I had to make a poop"
Thanks for reading my blog
