Good invention.
How do they earn their living, at twitter? I mean, where's the commercial idea of it?

Away - Clothing for Hot Climates

Clothing in hot climates: according to my experience, the best leisure clothing is a thin cotton shirt with long sleeves (you can wrap them up), and long light trousers. I'm not saying "pant" because the English are different and even more so are their pants, not to speak of the Americans, which would make things even more complicated.
Basically, what we want is to protect our hides from the intense sunrays, thus avoiding getting a sunburn. So our clothing should be bright and as light as possible.
Cotton appears to be the most suitable tissue. No socks please, or just cotton sneakers socks, underwear is also not necessary during the day, apart from pants (British butt-protection type). A pair of flipflops are very comfortable for your feet. If you don't want to go with bare feet in them: I've learned there are socks with distinct compartment for each tootsie ;-)
If you're doing business under these climate conditions (lucky you), the general rule to wear light cotton clothing still applies, together with a pair of light leather or cotton shoes.
Please don't forget to protect your head with a broadly brimmed hat or some other piece of protection. If you see a person walking along donning a parasol): well, then you can be sure that it's somebody who's obeying my advice to be brave, let people giggle, and carry such a useful thing as a protection against sunrays. You know what sunrays can do to you, don't you.
Remember: to many of them and they become your enemies.

Okay, now you go and enjoy the paradise.

Insurance - Pension - Life Art

I'd like to say to all young folks that I envy you your youth, lol - of course.
But, like myself, we all inevitably get older.
So it's important to built up a small fortune "for a later time". This has always made me laugh. But I've saved a bit anyway.
But today - I have the feeling that I've finally arrived in this realm, which had always been so far away in the future. I can even see the other coastline (on a "clear day").
So it comes that I've decided to shift my gears back a bit before it's too late, to work a few days less per month (yes I'm in a situation to be able to do so), and enjoy the very last stretch of my ride. I hope it'll be a long stretch, free of cliffs lurking under water.
It's a good, a very good and comforting feeling to be able to lean back and increasingly live on those savings and insurances "for later".
This is Life Art.

Condition

"James III" says (in another blog):-

"Most people premature age themselves from crappy diets, lack of exercise, sedentary lifestyle, partying, drinking/smoking, etc... Then the few who maintain themselves are lambasted for looking "childish"? That's twisted if you ask me!

I can relate as I'm a 27 years old male, 6ft tall, 160 lbs and I annoyingly get a lot of comments that I'm sickly underweight and look childish, which invariable comes from flabby, overweight, wrinkling, balding people who didn't/don't take care of themselves well."

I know what he's talking about - ha! Lucky me!!! Healthy me!!!

(:-)))

Away

Since I do not want to wait for an occasion that my computer should accept as simple a thing as a flash card reader (or is it because Win Me won't recognize it?), and since I do not want to look this blog of mine like a dead place (There are some followers) here we go with retyping my PDA diary. So I can also train my touch typing with two blind eyes skills, hehe.

"The documents in this section of my blog were written by me while I was away from my home computer. For instance, like at this time while I'm in "my" island of Gran Canaria, during most of May in 2009, I do hope I will succeed in transferring the files to my computer when I'll have returned home, at the end of the month. This could turn out to be a problem _ for as you might remember from my former articles: I still have an old machine with the ancient (but quite reliable) OS Windows ME installed. And this diary is written on a small, more modern PDA. I cannot connect these two, which would result in a big "synchronizing fight", the manual of the PDA even warns of installing the PDA's synchronizing programme on a machine which is controlled by an OS version lesser than XP, (Grrrr @ MS). Anyway, be it as it is, here we go with the recordings of my impressions:-

My accommodation here, a small studio, is located cerca de la playa: a short walk, a few steps down the hill, and I'm at the beach!
Locals can be seen basking, or going for a swim, mostly they do both, of course. We're in a Miami - like climate zone after all, with plenty of sunshine, palm trees, and warmth. There are also lots of tourists (guiris is the canarian word for this species) around. In this area, which is the south eastern part of GC, they come from Scandinavia, and also from Britain, escaping from the cold and the rain of their home countries.
From time to time, some very beautiful ladies, women and also girls would turn up down there at the beach. And if not beautiful, they'd at least show some interesting behaviour.
This morning a lovely slim girl came along, enjoying the surf of the rolling waves of the Atlantic Ocean. She was tall with long slender legs and even longer slender arms which she waved through the air while using some rocks as stepping stones, and trying to avoid the surf.
That gay behaviour of hers impressed me to such an extent that I spent almost an hour watching her. Difficult to estimate her age from the distance, I'd say she was in her late teens or so. She wasn't alone: an older man, seemingly her father or other relative, and a younger and more stubby girl were in her company. Her most remarkable feature were her long waving limbs, and her gayness, all of which reminded of a gay foal.
I remember having seen a similar, much younger girl on a former occasion at a different beach a few months ago. She had the same figure, jumping and hopping and playing gaily with the surf like a gazelle, or long-limbed young horse."


(The girl in the picture is not the one I am talking about in my article. But ain't she just as beautiful??)

No More Posts????

Oh, there will be more posts here.
The thing is I have a diary written on my PDA; where I saved it onto a flashcard. The problem is, my desktop computer won't recognize a flash card. It's Win Me, but even so a flash card should be recognized. And I do not want to retype all my entries. Mmmmh, I'll have to see what can be done about it.
I also know that idling is the death of a blog: no one will come again to look for updates......:-(

PLEASE VOTE!!!!

PLEASE VOTE VOTE VOTE

Aren't we well off...

...many gave their lives for the life we now have - please vote for the election of the new European Parliament.

...new technologies...

...air travel along field lines - this would solve the big problem of pollution and carbon accumulation caused by today's jets.
I once read an article which said that the very same technology was being investigated by a relevant jet turbine company (I think it was Rolls Royce).

There are indeed ways to save our homestead.

On economics, employment and tax.

The state employs people alright. And just talks a lot and borrows huge amounts of money.

An entrepreneur, or a corporation, which is a bundle of entrepreneurs, employ people, plus they care for their welfare (in most countries), they bear the whole risk of the enterprise, and they pay taxes and for the employees.

(I'm an employee).
