Good Morning Web Wanderer, I lost my passport. An American losing their passport in America is a very stressful event.

GM managed to have my least favorite car and most favorite car at the show. This wasn't my favorite, but in fairness I doubt it was made for my American eyes

buick

I said GM had my least favorite and favorite car. This buick, whatever it is, was my favorite. Better even than the gaudy mercedes male enhancement vehicles on display

getting fat

ordered way to much food at the seafood place

Private community

there is a fast growing middle class in China, and many of them are moving to these private apartment complex communities. You will see many little displays for new settlements popping up like this in malls and apparently car shows

What will happen to Jackie (mycat) when I go back? I'd love to smuggle him into the states, but he would make for noisy carry-on. I'm sure he would start snoring midflight or something equally rediculas and then the cat would be out of the bag. Currently the plan is for him to live with my girlfriend and try see if there is a legal way to get him into the country before she moves to Canada. Last resort is Jackie moves in with my gfs cousin's (who is trying to steal him already) who are not immigrating to Canada.

Cars ... and cats
That Ford looks like nothing I have scene before. Do you know which one it is? Cats ... My wife has a cat and it hates me. I love animals, live on a FAINTING GOAT farm with my family and have horses and dogs too. I just can't figure out why that darn cat hates me so much!!
