Okay, okay. . . I know

This site has been unavailable to me most the time we've been here. And we have managed to have some fun, and see the sky, and enjoy some awesome times. Until further notice (here and maybe there) you should enjoy our times at www.aroundtheworldin80beers.net/. . . sorry to those who only come here, but you can't fight communism without an army.

Ours is in Iraq.

And Bush ain't taking my calls.

The Soup Out My Window

All week I've been looking out my window (and smelling) what must be Beijing's ASS. And today, it's raining, so Beijing has a case of the runs.

The weather report calls it FOG, but it's wet SMOG.

It's been ugly since Monday. And so dirty. When we open the window, which we do a lot, as it's a SAUNA in our apartment, it takes about 3 minutes for dust to settle across everything. Did I mention the air stinks?

140 days until the Olympics. I don't guess that's enough time to get this place totally shined up. I feel like I'm living in a toxic waste dump. And so do my lungs.

oops

Apparently, I CAN upload images. I just needed to allow for popups.

So here's the sign. Anyone?

I asked a gal last night who's been here 10 YEARS and she didn't know.

No starting your car on fire? No car bombs? What?

Still Alive

Hi, Hi, HI! No, I didn't die or anything.

We are in Beijing, and apparently I can't post pictures from here. I was going to make a blog entry about a strange street sign I keep seeing on the streets here, but I can't post the picture.

Lame.

Anyhow, I'll try and get over here and keep you informed of the stranger side of life in China. I can't believe I can even get here from here.
