It's funny, I followed that link for the picture posting site and a big message came up "This country banned for violating our Terms of Service".
Taiwan and China, where they steal literally everything? Banned? Naaahhh, must be some kind of mistake!
So it looks like I can't use the site from here, but maybe Thailand will allow it. We'll see soon enough.

Well, I'll be danged!!
Well, you have your other site for storage. It will work out.
How goes it this evening??
To: bentfeather
Everything's fine. Work has entered a kind of twilight zone of indecision. As I said previously, we had a contract date to finish, then a new agreed upon date, then I offered a few weeks as optional, then they started interviewing now, four weeks before the original contract date, now they're nervous about the new guy and are talking all huggy kissy to me again.
Meanwhile it feels strangely like this job has already ended like four different times, yet I still go in every day!
It's weird, but fortunately harmless at this point. Just hanging out in a foreign culture. Actually it's no so foreign anymore. If anything the Westerners seem kind of weird to me now (remember that song "I Think I'm Turning Japanese"?)
They (or should I say "we") the Westerners, are just so selfish, it's me, me, me. While Chinese seemed robotic and heartless sometimes, now Westerners seem neurotic and compulsive, always worried about what they want next!
We're all individual units who are out for ourselves. Really comes across when you've been hanging out with a more or less hive mentality. I guess everyone in the world is screwy! I guess any human system of society is going to be flawed and have unintended side effects, no matter how meticulously it is planned out.

Yup, we are not perfect are we? And look at all the writing material you have gleamed over the years in the Orient. ;)
To: bentfeather
Yes I have an almost unlimited supply of stories! They are calling out to be recorded some place!
On another cool note, the May 2006 DoD Report thread is now at 819 views! Not too bad. I found that popping into a thread that is already about Iraq, and dropping a single quote from the report that directly pertains to the conversation at hand (and adding the link at the end), did wonders for getting interested people to jump over to the report thread.
A more targeted strike than just dumping the whole analysis around. I wonder if it can get up to 1000 views?
Of course the next Report is due out in August, must find a way to post that from Thailand!

Well, I better hit the sack. 10:20pm now, longest day of the week is always Wednesday (that is, until I'm no longer employed there, which will be when? I don't know!!)

" LOL!! Yes, I should recall our very first discussion years ago. LOL!
Oh you tease, that's all you are.. :)"
Yes I CAN tease, but remember somewhere in all that smoke you might just find flames! ;^)
After ten years as a sailor, 8 months a professional soldier, a working-my-way-around-the-world traveler, and 40 years a biker, you can bet there has been a fire or two, or three...!

About a 150 miles north. There was a big blow a few years ago, and many trees were toppled. Liberal enviro-twits wouldn't let the fallen trees be cleaned up and the result is miles of dry, tinder dry and oh so ready fuel! It was going to happen, this was just the year!
