Doing fine ... a quiet day.

The Challenge is over! Thanks be...

I can now blog about my boring life. My personal insanity. At any time. As long as I remember that the new day, WDC time, begins at 1 p.m. here. When I should be doing other things.

It's 2:30 and I haven't left yet!

Why?

I wrote two postcards, did a wash, took a shower and downed two cups of coffee. I'm also staying two extra nights. That means I can have a quiet day at the Tainan Quiet Hostel.

I should write about my walk with Yang Yu Chen and Anna Maria last evening... later.

Now is time to pee (too much coffee) get money to pay Mr. Chen and leave for the post office.


A comment I left at the blog-home of Robert Waltz :

"Yes, we are stardust.

As for ignorance and fear:

I'm in Taiwan, not China, as some folks don't know the difference. In China one says what ever the government wants to hear. Not here.

So... about that virus. We have 9 cases. All quarantined, all monitored. No masks being exported. Production goes into high-gear today. Flights to china cancelled. Students will have to do their studies by remote.

A total pain. But... if I want a flu shot they'll give me one and I suspect they will monitor, take care of me and quarantine me if necessary.

In some ways I'm safer here than in the USA... which is still trying to figure out what they plan to do. Bless them (in the Southern sense).

Orion is my favorite constellation from my childhood. Like the virus... when it goes, it goes."
