Hi,
How’ve you been?
It’s Moon.
I have a problem and it is about a girl that I am seeing.
She works as a nutritionist in the restaurant of my company.
I have had a wonderful time talking to her over the telephone a couple of times
and we even went on dates as well.
The thing is, she has changed her phone number and the telecom company to reduce
the phone bills.
But starting from two weeks ago, she hasn’t picked up my phone calls.
I don’t understand what is wrong and I can’t read her mind.
This is quite upsetting and right now, i’m just trying to concentrate other stuff.
Osprey over Drakes Estero, new cetacean species discovered

This osprey snatched what appears to be a smelt out of Drakes Estero in front of me today. The fish was not at all keen on the events as they unfolded. Osprey circled overhead, attempting to re-arrange the fish into an aerodynamic package for transport back to the nest.

Osprey landed on a post nearby and struggled for a few minutes in a strong and steady breeze, reaching back with beak, trying to move this fish. With talons so long, sharp and curved, it is difficult if not impossible for the bird to let go of prey.

After a few minutes of pecking, floating up, landing back on post, more struggling, fish was nearly out of energy. Properly packaged, osprey lifted off to deliver this meal to a hungry brood or mate.

Later, I happened upon this never before seen species of cetacean that had beached itself upon South Beach.
I gave it the name Fauxkinghumansea dropmoreplastica. Commonly known as, Blue-bodied toxic reminder

Oh, after contacting Marin County Parks people to let them know I found one of their swim area buoys, they came out and picked it up. That thing costs over $500. The decals alone are over $100. They used to gather them up each year at the end of swim season, then set them out again after winter. They stopped doing that, though I am not sure why.
Tire is no match for flower

What destinations did these tires venture to?

Let’s hope these tires are responsibly handled by the NPS. The heavy lifting has been done for them.

In the workplace, the word I hear and listen to the most often is “
innovation”.
There were reorganization in the last February and March
I have got a new team, group and part manager.
The new team manager used to work at one of [redacted] in China.
He said there was nothing right here.
And he is trying to change every thing.
His character is so picky
He yells when he is angry.
I think every one is tired and has hard time.
“Innovation” word is very wonderful word itself.
But it go with sweat, effort and stress.
In addition it needs money to change wrong thing to right one.
But my company goes a reduced budget, which gives more stress to me.
Have you seen the word “ Innovation” at prosperous company?
Have you heard the world “a reduced budget” at thriving company?
I know the simple manufacture of China threats every country and a lot of
factory in Korea are moving to china to get a low pay.
Anyway,
When I go to the office, The greeting word is not “hello?” but “did you
make innovation?”
I deeply feel sorry about Seung-hui Cho incident.
[Editors note: Seung-hui Cho was a student at Virginia Tech. On 16 April, 2007 he shot and killed 32, wounding 17 others. Read more here if you wish.]

Atlas Lugged….out of Tomales Bay

Last week I shared some images of my kayak adventure during which I recovered nine discarded tires from the muck of Tomales Bay.
Come see the meager progress I made in cleaning up the local environment.
Ayn Rand wrote of a dystopian society in her book, Atlas Shrugged.
To me, the way we humans treat this place we call home is about as dystopian as it can get.

With the rise of the sea that is expected, this may be a fine home for this marker buoy.

Anyone know where this buoy belongs? Let me know and I’ll drop it off so it can be replaced.
Anyone want to help pack these tires out next weekend?
The cows in this pasture are some of the friendliest I have ever had the pleasure to walk near.

Hi
There is a heavy raining season in Korea.
It is raining for several days.
Some villages are isolated. a lot of roads are cut off, dozens of people
died.
I have summer vocation for a week.
When I get back to workplace, I will do another job.
I had hard time for last one year.
I thought of quitting working at [redacted] several times.
The serious problem is that I didn’t like my job.
One of my friends said to me “ how many people work their favorite job?
stick to your company. Wait time that you have chance to change your job”
I knew it was difficult to change my job too.
Anyway.
I told my manager that I wanted to leave a company because of looking for
another field.
But he suggested to me another job in a group I worked.
And I accepted it.
I agreed to work that after summer vocation.
Yesterday, I moved my computer, bookcase and telephone to my new position.
Actually, I was supposed to leave my company yesterday.
So the manager had enlisted my one-week summer vocation on any dates, I didn’t
care it.
Right now, though I have bad weather and don’t have any travel plan.
I’m happy for raing books, watching movies in my room.
