O man you are a veteran of many a foreign road, and it's like magic to meet someone nice like Oliver, and get gradually grounded. Lucky I read or I'd be floored. <br /><br />Having an extra car around definitely made life much less crazy, our 2006 Dodge has 116,00 miles on it, and I plan to use it as Point A to Point B, sparingly, ideally change oil every 3,000 miles, and hope for best. <br /><br />Later I'll tell Carol, Dan and Joe you say hello, wish you & Leipzig well!

I'm very glad to hear from you agai...Yo Chuck,<br /><br />I'm very glad to hear from you again. It's been super hectic since I've gotten here, but thanks to Olliver, I feel more grounded. I haven't done the Singapore reading yet. That's at the end of the month. My classes will start next week and that will keep me busy.<br /><br />I'm glad to hear you've gotten a second car. Life won't be so crazy around the Orloski household.<br /><br />Please say hello to Jack for me. He has more lady friends than the rest of Scranton combined!<br /><br />I hope Carol and the boys are doing OK...<br /><br /><br />LinhLinh Dinhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328959360983573810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4284893230469697578.post-86040070521000943692015-10-08T00:15:41.723+07:002015-10-08T00:15:41.723+07:00Linh,
I assume you understand why I've been ...Linh, <br /><br />I assume you understand why I've been silent since you left for Leipzig, I know why you are, and since following your Blog on daily basis, I felt it's time to "break the ice" and wish you an early & old fashioned season greeting, "peace and good will." <br /><br />Your Leipzig pictures are very gripping, educational, alarming (!) and this anarchist encampment in particular looks rather comfortable as compared to the domicile of a homeless & talkative Scranton fellow who I met last Saturday at St. Francis Kitchen. I wrote about the experience, and not necessarily for crass attention, but here it is: http://www.uncommonthought.com/mtblog/archives/2015/10/07/tawkin-with-irish-on-the-scranton-thin-line.php <br /><br />FYI, Scranton School District teachers are into their 2nd week of strike, and fortunately for my family finances, I still drive (daily) school bus runs for the Howard Gardner charter school, where professional teachers are not unionized, and are at work. Also, I manged to buy a second car, a 2006 Dodge Stratus! This act seems to prove that a percentage of Americans can sign for a loan and get what they either want, or need, <br /><br />The other day, Jack Reese asked how you are doing, and he asked for me to pass on a hello. He fell inside apartment shower, hurt knee, and he's limping his way to meet & entertain lady friends. <br /><br />Finally, trust the Singapore poetry readings went well, I wish you well; you're missing nothing but heart ache regarding Philadelphia Eagles games, and please pass on a hello to Linky? <br /><br />Chuck O. <br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07804858204655663574noreply@blogger.com
