you might as well make a necklace out of them. there is a law that says ...you will never return to that arcade until you have lost the tokens. if you try to break this law by making a special trip.....well...i don't think i have to spell it out...you're obviously a man of the world.

Yes, LJ, but they are doodads.

Conversation pieces. A very small something for someone to have that is interested in my trip here to the Phils.

I'd like to see a map of Texas made out of that gum.

slang · 11-24-2007, 06:36 PM

What scale would you like? Approx what size overal dimensions? A political or topigraphical map of Texas?

Would this be a conversation piece or some type of learning aid? Will the end product come in direct contact with peoples' hands? Should this be a diabetic safe map?

Might the coastline be shown blending into the Gulf of Mexico on the map? Should there be some type of liquid representing the sea?

Is there a target weight for the map? Ok, besides zero, is there a target weight? A maximum weight? Minimum?

Will the map be hung from a wall or displayed flat? Can you estimate the temperature fluctuation in it's display environment? The humidity? The CO2 content?

Direct sunlight exposure, LED, fluorescent or Edison type lighting in the display environment?

Will the map need a airline safe travel case? Must that case be fireproof or fire resistant? Should the case have a RFID anti-theft protection?

Would you like Crawford Texas accented on the Texas map? Waco?Sugarland?

Should the map have a certified document of authenticity? What agency would you prefer that it be registered with for this document?

Will you require insurance on the Texas gum map? What deductible?
Fire and theft only?

Would you expect to leave this in your estate upon your passing?

Will this map be shipping to Australia or Japan? Paypal, Money order or gold coins?

It's early Monday morning here now and it's just now started to rain. We missed the big storm and most of the rains too.

The temp here is getting cooler too. Bike rides are much less of a struggle without the blistering heat. It's still hot but not hot like you are in some kind of fryer hot.

Now we only have the AC on for 6 hours a day instead of 12.

There were two tremors that hit this morning. Nothing really noticable.

My wife says she saw some things move in the apt but thought she was imagining it.

I was on the computer and didnt notice a thing.

Nothing to see here. No damage, no devastation.

There is another coup attempt (?) in progress here.

Several officers already on trial for a previous coup have escaped and are hold up in a hotel in Manila. The news is reporting that they have assault rifles and pistols and there have been shots fired in the hotel.

The local channels are giving the event full coverage even though nothing seems to be happening at the moment.

Here's the link.

I told my wife that this would be an outstanding opportunity to go get some photos and she just gave me "that look" of pity.
