Flando's archi body but human soul

Again in mind

Again the image came into mind at 400am was her, the body lying in the ambulance, 2 men held her legs and arms getting into the train. Just curious about what was in her mind by the time, was she in conscious...knowing what was to come? Together were her child & husband, a wierd family, hardly got a chance to be that close if were not for this time. She must be pain... i mean ..physically, and what? Finally she was on her way back home, a place stayed for more than 10 yrs, and sweet home was where she ended her life.

马屁规范

在公司的培训材料里面翻到的,有意思的对话,题目叫做Standard are Forever,不想直译,神译应为,规范就TMD的是规范

论题是:米国铁轨轮距为4'-8 1/2",为啥是这个鬼数

Q:为啥是这个数啊?
A:因为英国人用了这个数字,就带来米国了
Q:那为啥英国人用了这个鬼数啊?
A:因为铁路是有轨电车的人做的,他们就把有轨电车的数拿过来了
Q:为啥两样东西要用一样的数字啊?
A:因为做有轨电车的人用的是四轮马车的工具,所以轮距都是一样的。
Q:(无语中..)好,为啥四轮马车的轮距是这个鬼数字?
A:因为这个轮距刚好就是古时候长途道路上的两个凹下去的印子间的距离,不是这个轮距的车都很难走。
Q:操...谁建的这种鬼路?
A:欧洲最早的长距离道路是罗马人建的,运兵打仗的。
Q:跟我说凹槽是怎么来的!
A:最早路上没凹槽,是罗马战车压出来的,战车轮距是统一的,大家都这么做战车,不这么做轮子就很容易坏!
A:所以,我们看到米国铁轨轮距跟罗马战车的轮距是一个数字,规范就TMD是规范!
A:你肯定还会问为啥战车是这个数..我跟你说,战车的尺寸刚好是两匹马并排起来的屁股尺寸。

还是那沙哑闷骚的嗓音

Give me a kiss to build a dream on
And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss
Sweetheart, I ask no more than this
A kiss to build a dream on

Give me a kiss before you leave me
And my imagination will feed my hungry heart
Leave me one thing before we part
A kiss to build a dream on

When Im alone with my fancies...Ill be with you
Weaving romances...making believe theyre true

Give me your lips for just a moment
And my imagination will make that moment live
Give me what you alone can give
A kiss to build a dream on

(instrumental break)

When Im alone with my fancies...Ill be with you
Weaving romances...making believe theyre true

Give me a kiss to build a dream on
And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss
Ah sweetheart, I ask no more than this
A kiss to build a dream on

USS Intrepid Museum @NYC

这次是Carrier Intrepid Museum@NYC,就是艘二战时的航母,整修了一番拖到Manhattan西边的Hudson River Pier 85上做博物馆,前几天American Airway的飞机就是在这附近迫降的.
 


转过路口,远处就看到停了艘行母,在西岸的San Diego也有个类似的博物馆USS Midway


走近,米帝的航母,第二次看到真家伙

 


航母周边的展品,潜艇一艘,最原始的潜射导弹

 

 
这个博物馆里面藏了美国海军二战以来的大部分舰载机,彻底饱了眼福
上面的是 SBD Dauntless,第一次见真家伙,比想象中的大了一圈

 
F-86,进入喷气时代了,在朝鲜战场志愿军Mig-15的对头

 

 
A-4Skyhawk,小学做的第一个模型就是这个,麦道的产品,很可能还是St. Louis工厂的

 

 
机头细节

  
甲板上的Grumman F-11 tiger, 不是很成功的设计,服役没多久,但却是表演机的涂装,Blue Angel
我记得Blue Angel用过至少三款机子,F-11, F-4 Phantom, F-18,后者在Chicago Sea Air Show的帖子里出现过

 
甲板上,麦道F-3B Demon,麦道当年做军用飞机做的有声有色,不晓得后来怎么被波音吞的
 

机鼻,很有个性的进气道设计,这个领域跟做建筑不同,需要合理而非个性


F-3B的屁股,看到了什么??! 这里已经有当年风云F-4 Phantom的屁股的影子了!麦道的设计是一脉相承的,正如Robert McCarter所说,Nothing comes from nothing.


Grumann A-6 Intruder,也是史上名机,在90年海湾还有他的影子, 背后的是大名鼎鼎的F-14 ,也是Grumann 的产品


Grumman F-14 Tomcat!!!!! 这间公司的经典作品,航母制空权的保证.

 
如果没看错下面挂的是AIM-9 Sparrow, 缺的是射程184km的AIM54-Phoenix


F-14 满载6颗AIM 54的WIkipedia照片,每颗都值477M ,477,000,000$,换成RMB..大概..3500万元,这6颗就2亿RMB了...

下蛋的母鸡

NYC是个自己在错误的时间来到的正确的地方,去年有人说这个城市是灰色的,这便是我所见,阴晦,冰冷,拥挤而杂乱无章,伴随着潮湿的风和地铁中各种style的味道,这更让自己怀念Chicago夏天的阳光与湖风.我知道这是啊Q的类比,脸蛋要跟眼睛比,屁股要跟脚丫放一起,若是脸蛋对屁股, 后者只是陪太子读书. 唯一能让自己感到一丝亲切的是这个城市的节奏, 让人有种工作的冲动. 冲动是种罪恶, 好像自己活着就是为了干活一般.这是个无解的循环,鸡蛋跟母鸡绕着转.

New York New York

 
Start spreading the news, Im leaving today
I want to be a part of it - new york, new york
These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it - new york, new york

I wanna wake up in a city, that doesnt sleep
And find Im king of the hill - top of the heap

These little town blues, are melting away
Ill make a brand new start of it - in old new york
If I can make it there, Ill make it anywhere
Its up to you - new york, new york

New york, new york
I want to wake up in a city, that never sleeps
And find Im a number one top of the list, king of the hill
A number one

These little town blues, are melting away
Im gonna make a brand new start of it - in old new york
And if I can make it there, Im gonna make it anywhere

It up to you - new york new york

New york

Y'all know red necks dont ya?

不想睡觉就去过冬,高速, 卡车, SUV, 这就是redneck...?

第一站落在了Dallas& Fort Worth, 租了一辆白色的Nissan Versa, 带上了两宝:1。Lonely Plante美国版,2.朋友的gps

虽然俺不信,还是引用圣经里面的一句话: He who follows me shall not live in the night of darkness but have the life of light. 这两宝正引导着这辆Versa在Texas的土地上前行。

 

 
大概是这样走的,先到FT Worth/Dallas, 南下Austin途径镇子Eddy以及Waco(很怪的名字,尤其换成中文后)到San Antonio, 东行至Houston, 再返回Dallas,开了大概..1000多个Mile,7天

转:以前混过的流氓们

一人消费,没有拖累,独立自主,拍板干脆
不扫房屋,不叠床被,不听罗嗦,不会下跪,
不看脸色,不用惧内,没有吵闹,没有眼泪,
所有收入,自己支配,花钱潇洒,当家绝对,
朋友相聚,乱侃胡吹,参加饭局,满足肠胃,
能吃能饿,能喝能醉,能爱能恨,能熬能睡,
昼夜上网,聊天泡妹,打情骂俏,胆大妄为,
连连出招,频频约会,搂抱亲吻,无所忌讳,
奔波劳累,身心疲惫,我行我素,无怨无悔,
人生短暂,自由可贵,单身倍好,光棍万岁!
