了解阿 了解阿、、、文、理兩科的思緒不同，說話方式也大不同。李白說白髮三千丈；NS會說扯謊，哪有人會有三千丈頭髮? 李白活了61歲，就算他從來不剪頭髮，3000/60 一年要長個50丈長的頭髮，哪有可能!!

一個蘿蔔一個坑的人，無法同意一年頭髮長50丈長，所以，無法同意幾多年來沒有一天不想她的誇張。  你知道美國法庭的審理陪審團制度，開庭前，檢控及辯護雙方都派員考問candidates，來挑選陪審員的吧； 雙方都盡力問出最有利於己方的陪審員出庭，以便檢、辯各自鼓起如簧之舌，來影響結果；可是有一類人，這兩造都絕對不會挑選的，那就是絕不挑搞數學(或搞統計)的，理由就是，這一類的大蘿蔔，向來是以自己的邏輯來思考，不會受哪一方的言論左右。NS天生就是如此，看到哪一段、哪一事蹟，讓我的腦筋轉不過來，馬上跳出來說: Lier!! 壞毛病。我知道阿 我知道阿~

Unfortunately, very unfortunately I would say, I have figured out there has no lasting love, no long lasting passion...

People (no matter familay members, friends, or lovers) stay together not because they are bound together by love but by some sense of duty or social norms, after a period of time when the passion burnout. Too bad I have figured this out too young, too early; think of it the other way, maybe too lucky to figure this out.

However, people have to find out their own ways and live thier own lives. I have no intention to influenciate others. So, I keep my discovery to myself. 

Don't know who this Will Rogers is/was; however, he must be a dog-lover (pure emotion passion, literally.)

I believe there is a place I will go after end of my human life and my Babydog will be waiting and licking on me 1st thing he recognizes me there.

I had had many dogs. I know all of them very much and I am the one most close to our dogs in the family. All my dogs loved me, they followed me, all of them loved me UNCONDITIONALLY & FAITHFULLY. Period.

Honestly, I could not find that kind of unconditional love in mankind. How can I not return the same feeling back to my four-legs-golden-heart-friends? 

What's cooking in Chicago?
Well, Germs, what else.

It's Fall, the beginning of the Flu Season; certainly, a beginning of Sport Season as well. Never been cared of any sport, all I did in the office was to wrap myself up warmly (the air condition has been on furiously, even it's below 60 degree outside), buried my head into the work, ignored guys talk of Michigan this and Michigan that...I bet they're playing some kind of sports game with money, not the foliage trip to Michigan.

So, Chicken Soup for me. That's what I cooked, and it works for me.

阿~ 謝謝您的來訪、指證；然而，您所提及-57度C的紀錄，是西伯里亞的小鎮Oymyakon，在2018年的一月裡的紀錄，請參閱華郵在01/16/2018電子報: In the coldest village on Earth...

這裡談的是有紀錄的 01/28/2019到01/29/2019的 極端不尋常氣候。當時，中西部以Milwakee(芝加哥約90英里之北)為例，溫度是零下20度F，而當天，北極圈附近的西伯里亞溫度約為零上4度F(參考 The Midwest is colder than Antarctica, Alaska, and Siberia right now)，相較之下，當然中西部比較冷。

It is late Summer in Chicago, the trees are green, the tempreture still high enough but not hot; most mild for the Summer Season...just waiting for the Fall's arrival for a pleasant harvest season.

The guy, who trashed his math education saying "what the heck of why Negative Negative is Positive," is not my colleague, he is my friend's friend's husbend, a guy of my 6 degree apart's acquentence. I hope he understood my smirk to his trashing of waste for the math education via my cool response.  

What I don't understand is where are these people got their idea from, that if something goes wrong, it all because others faults. If it took you 50+ year to find out that you could not figure out why Nagtive Native is Positive was because your math teach incapable of making you comprehend the basic concept that you concluded it was all because the math education went wrong. These people of my little circle are graduates with degrees. You think your math education had been a waste, what kind of idiot egghead are you!!

Well, lucky of him, because he is only an acquentance, not a close friend; therefore, I kept my sarcastic attitude to myself.

Lazy NS doesn't care much of food, as long as it soothes her stomache, and it is easy to make that does not need to stand by all the time to cook the food.

Everyone who passed through Junior High math have learned lots of the skills of the Algebric Math which is the foundation of all Science. But, few were really thought of what exact these verbs of "Add, Subtract, Multiply, & Divide" mean? To explain these verbs you need  to use lots of words to describe these actions is Abstract Art.

I don't intend to give you the whole story of Math History, in short, image your first day in class to learn what the definition of Cartesian coordinates , chart borrowed from wikipedia: 

If you start from the origin point to go one step to the right, that is positive 1; and, if you go one step to the left, that is negative 1 (these are where Addition and Subtraction concept from).

Imaging you are a little ant, if your walking to one direction calls as postive; then turn around to go the opposit direction is negative (so, you see, this is how humen abstracts something from solid real world). Therefore, you walk to a positive direction and turn back to the negative direct and again turn to another negative direction, where you are facing now? Positive diection, aren't you?

Isn't Math beautiful?
It is pure Art. 

Hey, hey, Dear Kirk (what a strange term to call your first name, to me, Sir Norton has been known prior than Kirk):

First of All, please don't feel bad, no apology is needed, for suggestion of having another dog for me. Normally and logically well considered, I have done that and been told many times; I started to think of that even way beyond year of 2000; Babydog had been wanted another dog to play around with him when he was young, but had not wanted another company at our little and stuffed townhouse when he understood he's getting aged.

After the finish of his physical life, I have always known and felt my Babydog's existence, he needs my support and comfort the way as he was alive. Truely, I firmly believe he is waiting for me at the other line just as the way he was waiting for me back home from work, daily. I miss every little thing of him but I can get by without his physical body; because, "I think, therefore, my Babydog exits." How can I not return his total confidence in me and loyal faithfulness to me?

Ever heard the Golden Girls theme song? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiQzUEc_FmI) I said my "Thank-You-For-Being-My-Friend for 17 wonderful years" to my Babydog at his last days. I knew he understood the meaning and my sincereness that he finally let go of his painful cancer eaten body without regret, finally.  I want to phrase the same words to you as well: Thank you for being my friend.

So, sleep well and no burden, please.

As for my next favorite subject, actually, it may count 3rd, 4th, or 5th... math ranked behind Art, Biology, Music... to me. I was forced to take Math as a major because my grade of Entrance Exam to College was met to the gate of Math Department; once registered, Dean would not allow anyone to transfer. None, Absolutely Zero!! He could flunk anyone he did not like but no one allowed to be free of his control. Yes, he's a tyrant. Everyone scared of him. But, he liked me because my answer to his "who can tell me what is Math, in short sentence." My cowed voice said "Math is Art" because both are abstract idea. Yes, he liked my answer very much (so that he wrote me a very good recommendation letter to apply to my Graduate School!!)

So, who is the "lady of math?" Nothing but a person who's in favor of Art.

Now, let me ask you a question from a guy of my little circle, this person was complaining his math education had been a waste, he asked "what is the hack of negative negative is positive?" No one in my little group could really repute his trash talk, until my response. So, what say you?

理科女子跟一般人想像的女性，在很多點上表現大不同。身為陰性的我們有女性的直覺，卻也多了不少邏輯的能力。是朋友，是這樣的朋友；yes, of course; we are such different humen。Many times, I have felt I am the 3rd gender, part of F and part of M。當然是，是朋友，可以是這樣的朋友。

冰開水，有啦；汽水，也有啦 (不怎麼推薦，人老就怪，越來越不愛吃甜、喝甜)；wine也是有的(只是不懂酒品，只要能不讓我胃痛的都是好酒)；如果，可以接受margarita或taquilla酒系的，那更是朋友界的上品!!

一根腸子，有話必說，不吐不快，NS總是直言、不加修飾的，相對的也是很健談的(我媽說我是死鴨子嘴硬--好辯，我說我是孟子的徒子徒孫: 余豈好辯哉，余不得已也。其實，NS從不參加辯論賽，只是絕對服從真理的)；是，就是這樣的朋友。

Any time, any where. I am absolutely NS.
