Inline skating is like ice skating, but without the ice. You can still fall down easily. I prefer the old roller skates, the kind where you have four wheels spread out to give you a little better balance. I tried ice skating once. I made it all the way around the ice rink. Holding on […]
Today’s jigsaw puzzle is another in my series of repeating pattern puzzles, and is of an escalator leading down to a pedestrian bridge. I rode an escalator in Hong Kong years ago that went from the train station to the upper level of a shopping mall. It was at least five hundred feet tall, and […]
A long, long time ago, in a country far, far away, the Empire declared… Whoops. Sorry, lost my train of thought. OK, years ago when I was overseas I traveled to Rome and stayed in a hotel that had balconies like these, except they all had the same furniture on them. It was, after all, […]
