Ain't no accountin' for nothin'
Geek out in a Moonage Daydream
All quite on the eastern front?
This watch has better specs...

Happy labor day morons (warning adult language?)!
So sayeth wikipedia as regards Tianjin's latitude. It's going to get cold. It may well snow. My greatcoat is in San Kamphaeng. Along with the rest of my cold-weather gear. I could be fired before Jack Frost descends. Or maybe I'll figure some way to get a couple of days to transfer. Next vacation Decmber methinks, I'll freeze or cave and buy something before then. I missed seasons. So here I am.
Now I miss wildlife. I had iguanas in Thailand, geckos in Cambodia. I guess I have cats and dogs here but quite a few of them are in cages. And none too wild. O to lose, to miss. Take comfort remembering nothing is mine. Small comfort. Will leaves change? They must. And soon. I look forward to my hike tomorrow. Kindergarten not so much but no point in one without the other. What point anything?
Lotsa my peers procreating. It's cool, but annoying I imagine. Pictures of Kip and Kem remind, I had a family. If I'd behaved myself... or been rich without limit... well, who knows, Chicken does want to get back together. Obviously I have an income at the moment. What does it mean? What does anything mean? I have hundreds of kids. They are all annoying. No problem, I'm annoying too. But you can't get away from family. I mean, you shouldn't. I did. Well yeah, so about those men folk... inventors, genocidaires, drunks unto death. It all works out. But I couldn't have the clock. What would have been different? Can I still rescue Lars's fretless J? Time moves on. Where next?
The last place I want to move in winter is Poland. Need the arctic, the great coat, how many pairs of pants... forget it. But Malaysia may be as serious. Chicken's there though, good or bad thing? I must do my best here. It's where I am now. And no one said China was going to be easy.
