You get trivia right away this time. Have you ever heard of baidu.com? If not, you are in the minority. It is the largest search engine used in China. The US still counts for 70% of all web traffic, almost half of it junk mail, but times will change soon. I have not been in China since 1986.
Here's a little more trivia. Do you know anyone who is often stung by bees? Well, it ain't me. For unknown reasons, bees are more likely to sting a stupid person than a smart one. That is correct, the higher your IQ, the less likely a bee will sting you. Even worse, if there is a stupid person in the vicinity, bees will go after the klutz. Mosquitos don't bother me much either.Next, I figured out why the scooter gas tank is not exactly a gallon. It is five liters, which equals 1.3209 gallons, very close to what I had calculated on my own (1.227 gallons). That explains that. Funny that I had time to even look that up, as I am taking my lawyer's advice and suing Wallace for $4,800. Wallace has finally (and foolishly) declared in writing (falsely) that we had a rental agreement rather than being business partners. Now he owes me for 20 months of absentee caretaking and a finder's fee. I can effortlessly establish that I did all the work and was never paid. Everything is about to backfire on him because he tried to get smart with me. What a pity, he almost had it made. A property bought at the bottom of the market with nowhere to go but up, and he's screwing that up.
I made progress with the computers at the scooter shop, but really, some of the Internet equipment left over from my former business is really worn out. I have learned to shoehorn XP into a 4 GB drive and still trust wired circuits over wireless every time. Why hasn't somebody invented something better than the Internet yet?
No wonder I thought I was ahead of schedule. I totally forgot Washington’s birthday again, the major effect of that day is the library is closed last Monday. I have no intention of hooking up Internet service in the near future. The scooter makes it twice as ecomonical to head to the downtown branch and besides, there is a gal I find alluring who works there.
Speaking of gals, I met a nurse in Hollywood who said the town was full of nurses. Said they lived along Federal between the boulevard and Pembroke. I replied that in five years, I had never seen or met a nurse in that area. Oh, she continues, they all go to the Hard Rock. Why? Because it was open 24 hours and they could eat and smoke there. That confirms what I've always said about women being poor judges of character. This nurse understood I was looking to meet someone.
But in her mind, my equivalent in a woman would be someone who gets off shift at 3:00 AM, heads for the gambling den, lights up a fat cigar, orders up some chow and belts back a few. I asked if any of them ever went to the library and she gave me that "what for?" look. According to her, the casinos are group behavior for all nurses, and I should go there to meet them. What, and listen to them complain all night about the bees?
Just for the record guys, let me clue you in on a little advice. The best way to score with women is to be famous. What? Well, if I thought you already knew that, I wouldn't advise it, but you guys all seem bent on getting rich. Rich and good-looking work, but they are painfully inefficient and take far too long. Most men are not famous, and no, having all the barflies at the watering hole know your first name does not count.
On the other hand, I don't mean you have to be world famous. Locally celebrity has always worked for me, let the women come to you, I say. (Keep in mind, however, that I am looking for a long-term relationship, not a fling. I get more by accident than most guys do on purpose, I just don't constantly talk about it.)
