胖子不要穿白色橫條紋的衣服

親愛なる君へ :

好啦，好啦！我知道我已經整整胖了一圈了！戒煙半年多了，別的不長，淨是長肉！！！尤其是腰部那圈，楞是一個勁地蹦出來！

上週去了一趟 Indy 的 White River Park ，聽說那裡的人工運河很漂亮！想起 2005 年去的 Saint Antonio ，那裡運河旁的風光，仍映在腦中久久不去！但是 Indy 這個就好像不那麼美，沒有熱鬧的酒吧及冰淇淋店家，也沒有特意裝飾的餐廳在兩旁！看起來其實不外是一個河濱公園，和台南的運河公園有得比！走了一圈，看到不少一家大小騎著腳踏車遊河！嘿嘿，胖子居多！

那天，吃了一個幸運餅乾，裡面簽語寫著：「好事留給靜靜等待的人」！是在磨我的耐心嗎！？

愛一個人可以無怨無悔地愛下去嗎？真的有那種人，可以不管結果，不求回報，死心塌地地愛另一個人嗎？

我會繼續去走走看看，去開拓自己的眼界，去擴展自己的心域！
我彷彿覺得，我的心越是開闊，我越是不能相信人的心可以這麼執著！
希望美洲大陸之旅，可以踏出我的領悟，踏出屬於我的人生！

這頭牛照得好啊！




好就好在我在牠旁邊顯得不那麼肥了！



哈哈哈哈！

Three-Day Driving Tour

At the end of June, 2008, Connie and I went all the way southwest to St. Louis, Oklahoma, Taxes, New Mexico, and back from Colorado and Kansas. It was a three-day driving: over two thousand miles.

First of all, the scenery on the road was fascinating: beautiful buildings in urban St. Louis, deserts and mountains in Taxes, New Mexico and Colorado. I did not make it to Arizona since it was really too far. Being driving alone, I did not think I would have the energy to go sightseeing once I got there.

In terms of experience, secondly, this trip really strengthened my will to drive and travel alone. I really don't think I will do this after going back to Taiwan. I am not say that I will not be afraid of anything because of this trip, but it's true that I will be brave enough to encounter any challenge afterwards. As a matter of fact, I realize my limits and potentials since I accomplished this trip alone. Hopefully, I will not travel alone again because it was "FREAKING" boring to drive alone on highways of USA. What accompanied me all the way: Road kills, sky, STRAIGHT roads, horses, cows, and please don't forget, highway patrols.

Yeah! That's right! They are US police officers on highways. I got a speeding ticket on the third day. According to the Kansas highway patrol, I was going 85 mph on the road of speed limit 70 mph. The fine was USD$126. Well, that was my first time to get a speeding ticket! I mean I've never got a speeding ticket before, not even in Taiwan. Hahahaha…The fine was high enough to make me obey speed limit since then. (Once again, I am pretty satisfied with Connie…V6 engine is the best. Hahahahaha...)

See! The road is too straight without many cars on it. It's really difficult not to be speeding. Hahahahaha...

I've never seen this kind of cars before. USA is the great country where people drive strange cars. This car was very high because of the huge tires. When I stopped at the gas station, I saw the owner of the car push his husky dog upwards really hard since the car was too high for the dag to get on. Hahaha…what the heck!
