East has met the West. I’d love to know what they think. These 3 are one family. We thought this might be wife#3 of an allowable 4, awaiting their car at my hotel. (It’s surprisingly hard to aim the cell phone properly to take photos while pretending to talk with it pressed to your ear)
The Petronas Twin Towers beside the convention center where I spoke at a ‘Green’ conference.
8 + 12 hours flying.
Kuala Lumpur has a warm, humid tropical lushness the moment you get off the plane.
From Amsterdam (where security made me delete a good photo of police with finger extended over trigger of a mean looking gun – well at least they didn’t confiscate my phone/camera) over the Caspian sea and Iran, then diagonally across Afghanistan on a clear and starry night, but not one light flickered down at ground level there. Is everyone hiding?

Poor person’s Plywood Blog: Many broken downtown storefront windows, after Stanley Cup loss. Blog photos are identifying suburban culprits who came into the city for the affair. Vigilante web justice is chasing them. Meanwhile various messages of sympathy and other odd ones are appearing on the plywood.
Funny bike.
Random acts of knitting. Fuzzy vandalism?
I gave the hive a new penthouse ‘Super’ frame on top to house the many homeless ones hanging out on the front porch (they’re breeding like flies): the to cover was stuck down with their propolis glue and opened with a crack sound. To one bee this meant ‘Bear attack’. The sting doesn’t hurt at all but itches for days (only 3 days), until the swelling goes down.
Bees look happy now. These topic floors are meant for honey, not raising babies
