    Ha, ha....year of the Snake and most items are accurate, except for monetary ones ; (

    In a previous post you mentioned world job less etc. Many years ago a few friends and I talked about the usa really also turning into a 3rd world type country, as many, many jobs were being outsourced and or business's moving out of the country.

    And here we are.

    Our age group has never seen life so bad and scary, since the depression of the 30s (although we aren't quite that old) it's hitting hard and everyone has a chance of losing their jobs, home, etc. ; (

    More to come it looks like, all around the world ; (

    Maybe we'll see you Thursday?

    Cheers!

Filipino Invention - Jeepney Coin Sorter

-
You know how there are lists floating around of these awesome inventions by Filipinos and some of them turn out to be hoaxes?  This invention, a jeepney coin sorter, I wish was real.  Unfortunately it doesn't exist.  Challenge accepted... anyone? __________________________________________________________ One of my machine design projects when I was still taking up my Mechanical Engineering was a coin sorter and wrapper, made even more challenging by the professor's requirement that it should have a single input action, say a rotating motion.  We never finished it and had to change projects halfway through.  But remembering it got me thinking... I wonder how much interest there would there be for a jeepney coin sorter?

"I miss those lovely days of..."

A Theme Thursday post "Good day sunlight, I'd like to say how truly bright you are..." Summer ended early in the Philippines this year. Too early! It was only the beginning of May when the first typhoon arrived and a storm warning signal was declared over parts of the Philippines. Now as I type this post, typhoon Feria (local name) is raging outside my window... Next week it will be July. That means hoping for a bright sun shiny day is over, summer has lost to rain. This battle is now over. Soon the rains will completely take over: the skies will be dark for most of the day, the stars at night hidden by the dark clouds. "You don't know me, but I know you, see, you're my favorite star..." I miss the summer, when the sun is out and up. I miss the beach at summertime, when the sand and the water is warm and the nights a cool respite. I miss having ice cream and halo-halo to cool off. I miss not needing to bring an umbrella every time I leave the ...
