The Rise in Sea Level

http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/gallery/06_25_09_chathams_first_villiage_washes_away/
In case that you're still questioning global warming, the rise of sea level is already here, it has happened right here and right now in beautiful Cap Cod of New England.
If you own a seaside property, these series of pictures may ultimately convince you to sell.


Boston.com reported: "Chatham's first village succumbs to nature" full story:

妻子,情人,紅顔知已 (Wife, Lover, Soul mate)

Men love women, men also love cars, sometimes we have this mixed feeling :

1. Wife is like a family sedan, comfortable, durable, reliable, easily maintained, always ready to go distance, though she nags & mumbles once aged.
2. Lover is like a sports car, sexy looking, an ultimate pride of men. When she groans, it's heaven on Earth. But she also means high maintenance, breaks down often, and wrecks men's back over long distance cruising.
3. Soul mate is like a motorcycle, a bike makes a man out of a boy, boys're born to be wild & expressive when riding, sound of a fine-tuned bike engine is always music to young men's ears, but her charms subside once young men mature, desire for bike is often replaced by sports car.

Women shouldn't necessary be bothered by this fantasy of men, they should learn that most men can only handle motorcycle in their youth, and let's face it, most men never drive a sports car, let alone having one.


- 妻子好比家庭轎車,舒適,耐用,可靠,易於保養維修,隨時出發搭伴長途,不過用舊了總是嘮叨不休。

- 情人則好比勁辣跑車,外型性感,駕馭起來令男人引以為傲,引擎響起時簡直天上人間。可惜維修昂貴,麻煩多多,若長途御馭則慘過斷背。

- 紅顔知已就好比摩托車,可以令小男孩覺得雄姿英發,無拘無束,亦無所不談,精心調整的引擎音響總是令青少年心醉神怡。少年男孩大多有契姐契妹摩托車,但成熟之後就此情可待成追憶,往往被跑車取而代之。

精明的女人應該大方地接納男人的這種幻想,須知大多數男人只能在年青時操控摩托車,而現實裡大部分男人從來沒有駕駛過跑車,更加談不上擁有。

今日之孝

孟子曰:「孝子之至,莫大乎尊親」。
孔子曰:「今之孝者,是謂能養。至於犬馬,皆能有養。不敬,何以別乎?」

「今日說孝,往往指子女贍養父母、晚輩贍養長輩,其實尊敬先於贍養。因為養狗養馬也是養,單單養父母而沒有尊敬,那麼跟養豬養狗有什麼分別?」
==========================================================
聖賢們說的今日,和我們的今日,除了字數多少之外,其实也的確沒有什么分別。

中國一代紅粉佳人


昔日尽管傾國傾城,百年之後也祇不過是白骨荒草。
自古紅顏多薄命,唯独一生事跡,博得萬世傳頌批判,也不枉一生。

西安事变 - 沒有它,您我可能也不會身处海外

http://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E8%A5%BF%E5%AE%89%E4%BA%8B%E8%AE%8A&variant=zh-tw
宋美齡:「他(張學良)不要地盤,也不要錢,他要犧牲。」
蔣介石:「漢卿(張學良)糊塗!」


有傳言稱,蔣介石當時與蘇联正在協商一個計劃意向,即蔣介石以全面抗日為條件,牽制住日軍主力,換取蘇联宣布解散中國共產党以避免与日軍德軍双面交鋒,假若計劃成功,毛澤東、周恩來等中共領導人勢必流亡蘇联,但這個時候,張學良的西安事变完全打破了這個計劃。難怪周恩來對張少帥的評價是「名垂千古」,「千古功臣」。

正是:「一子錯,滿盆皆落索。」

Who Killed The Electric Car - 不可救葯

http://www.cbc.ca/documentaries/passionateeyeshowcase/2009/electriccar/


CBC aired a show that outraged many TV viewers last night, and this morning our citizens learned that our (American & Canadian) government are pumping tens of billions more to help this industry survive their self inflicted disaster, WHY???

(Alulu268's note: CBC has taken this file off-line, I had to replace all links on this page with other related info.)

(Decades later, the revenge finally came; with a Bang! Revenge of the Electric Car )
