I'm bummed today because...

2018 is going to be an expensive year. Tiling two bathrooms later this month. Replace the swimming pool in March. Expand the driveway for more parking in June. Also in spring and summer I need to replace the rails and supports for the front entry, do some roof and gutter work, redo a large section of backyard inside the fence and plant new grass, and re-carpet one of the outside decks. I’m seriously considering running away to Tahiti and becoming a beach bum.

Sounds like a plan.

I am felling a bit down. Got news that a fellow co-worker tried to commit suicide as he told me, like a week after a mother co-worker died of a brain aneurism. I hope nothing stupid happens.

Winter blues? Body wants to hibernate!

It is the third week of February - I just feel so tired (think I will go back to bed). Not sure why I'm so tired right now.

... I got hit by a car crossing the street with the right-of-way yesterday, and I'm prepping for the day today in Taiwan at 5:00 a.m., and I'm still sore.

Get well soon !

Get well soon !

Thank you! I'm fine. No worse than a collision on the soccer field or falling down on the motorcycle.

Well, to be fair, neither of which I do anymore.

Ouch! Hope you are OK!

Sounds like the drivers in Taiwan are as bad as the drivers in NYC or Boston!

You get the plate number of that rickshaw, Grandpa?

Actually, I'm more wary than the inhabitants here. And I'm also bigger than the average citizen here and, you'd think, more noticeable. Scooters seem to be more of a hazard than the cars. But generally, yeah, right-of-ways are respected, even by the folks who charge right up to them, then stop.

Not this time, though. Thump.

Healing vibes, Grandpa . Please be observant of after effects on the body.
