I guess i will

There i was peacefully slaving away at paper work, meeting, phonecalls every five seconds. And trying to update reports that can't seemed to be made by a five million dollar computer system with a mouse click. (don't ya ever wonder how a computer can fly a plane but can't make a report data in but it can't come out) And as i was just about to finish reading page three hundred and ninety seven of a one thousand page government volume on proper chain use.

What happens, i get interupted by a co-worker with a smile on his face and a map in his hand. "DARN IT I WAS JUST GETTING TO THE GOOD PART about color codes"

How about joining me and my family at the beach Sunday, we're having a picnic and we're just all going out there and relax. relax, beach, ice tea, okay "i guess i will" but i hope i can finish this manual first, i just can't wait to see how it ends.

Another Studebaker on Guam

So far all attempt to track down the rumored 53 coupe have been to no avail. Although i did find a 49 chop top merc. Then i started talking about war stuff on Guam and a co-worker said i have a friend that is building a museum. After naming some other stuff the word Weasel popped up. As did my ears, you mean a real live Studebaker weasel. Huh said he Studebaker i didn't know. So off we went and sure enough there she sat a little rough, a few things missing, but a real live running weasel. Not if i can only get to drive it. Or the 1941 Indian scout a few feet away. Click on link below and see what she looked like new. The 53 coupe maybe next time.

After work in the jungle

After a short Saturday slaving away at the office and a yummy Bento Box lunch of BBQ Chicken and tempura shrimp. Compliments of one of the co-workers who unlike me stayed longer to work harder.





The sman snuck out the back Jack and hit it on the lam for a cruse up a new road. Behold a sign that said Tamo Falls and botanical garden. With a screech of the brakes and an illegal u-turn (hey I'm learning local customs back off). It was off to the falls and flowers, 200 stairs and jungle trails, and a nervous eye out for them legendary brown tree snakes. I got to the falls $5.00 poorer but well worth it all. I love waterfalls and this one was way cool.





But i kept hearing all these strange noises, a mix of drums and birds singing, and squeaks, all very musical almost like a Jamaican band warming up in a distance. i finally tracked it down. It was a small grove of bamboo some new some old and some dried. And when the wind blew through it the music began. Something new singing Bamboo.

What a great place to go for some peace and quiet, and a little communing with mother nature. Unfortunately i had to commune this time with my clothes on.

If your ever in the neighborhood don't pass this one up. It's a short walk and its worth the $5.00

How you commune is your choice.

The smartest man on Guam


Every night i and a major portion of the 170,00 residents of Guam. Jump in our guzzle mobiles and rush onto the main highway for home. Russian roulette at it's best, as Guam is know as the red light runner capitol of the world. And it is often safer to join in than it is to apply brakes, because the guy behind usually has his mind made up about what he's going to do. "run that light" Which also becomes the number two fame item rear end collisions.

Then theirs that gas price thing now at $4.69 a gallon maybe more in the morning. Keeping your tank full can defiantly be a cost savings.

On my way home i often see the smartest man on Guam. He has moved up too the modern times while the rest of us continue to blindly rush to and fro paying little heed to whats worth seeing along the way and throwing endless amounts of money to Ahab the Arab. This guy just cruses on and does it with natural air and uses no gas.
