中国的工艺品！

我吃早餐。

我宠爱这只猫。

我吹了云。

这是我的弯刀。

As dawn comes to the little American town of Stonyford, California, I'm hard at work learning the Chinese language, promoting international comity and goodwill (I've had some practice at that as a former Rotary exchange student to Japan), and campaigning for the American space program and the nascent worldwide space industry.

It costs me nothing to do all this, and I'll keep doing it (mostly on Twitter, but also on Facebook, and as many loyal readers know, on Google+ and Blogger... As well as on Ello.co and Tumblr...), but it would be great if I could get some support. I'd like to raise money to aid me in my studies and my mission:

I appreciate any support for my studies that you can give!

我感谢您对我的学习的支持！

Black plums to blackberries; Meyer lemons to Bing cherries... From 19th Street to Roosevelt and back: has any other had my childhood haunts? Dogshit and ghost poop, then crabgrass, juniper, and kingsfoil through the fern-framed North gate... In the front, on the sidewalk, bottlebrush to stick to your shoes blossoms - little and red... (Apologies to Alanis for being another to call her on list-like writing...)
