Monarch Butterfiles的年度遷屣，幾年前還很有興趣；左思右想，還是把這榮耀讓給有地利之便的德州佬鄉(譬如說Okayman)吧~ 聽說今年到達墨西哥的Monarch Butterfiles，比起往年少了很多，why? I wonder。其實今夏特別少見它們，因是有其因由吧?! Leave it to Specialist。

獵鹿? 我想我是不可能的。Being a deer hunter是我的前世，不是今生。越靠近WIS邊界的林子裡越容易見到鹿，我家附近林子裡，也有一家幾隻鹿，看看就好，NS是不想打擾更甭提獵它們；我怕槍、我怕流血、我怕美麗生命的流失、、、我承認我是膽小鬼!!! By the way, 說到獵鹿影迷NS喜愛的電影The Last Mohigan開始片刻，Daniel Day-Lewis追捕公鹿拍得太美啦，膽小鬼NS看電影就滿足deer hunter的幻想。Youtube找不到那段給Sir Norton看，可惜了。

的確是 年紀越大 經驗累積越多 越覺得真心 相知的可貴~
多年的在美生活 NS始終學不來 美式的虛情假意
更是由此知道 能接受NS心直口快 真誠對待的老美 真的不多!! 真的不多!! 真的不多!! 真的不多!! 真的不多!! 真的不多!! 真的不多!! ...

That is why I like youtube, it groups similar music to enjoy, a benefit saving time and saving $.   :-)

謝謝包老大的support.
收信人M是我一進公司交到的最要好朋友之一  我們彼此打氣才能在風雨飄搖的爛公司裡 撐到現在. M是個老式的溫合派 我是急衝鋒的行動派 我們倆是互補 ... 能有如此可信賴的好友是我的福氣.

包老大對現代歌曲的意見 NS因為很少(根本是沒機會)聽到臺灣(或香港 或中國大陸)的歌曲 是不是毛躁 是不是兇殘 混亂 ... 我沒意見(沒有權利發言啦). 西洋流行歌曲裡 rap的饒舌歌曲 我是聽不下去的 它們的流行是有它們的背景的 聽的人喜不喜歡 只能自己選擇過濾了.

Bette Midler不很算是流行歌界的天王天后級(她走的是劇場 秀場的路線 也跨界演電影) 但是這首當年贏得Oscar獎的歌 到現在也還常在收音機裡聽到 的確是好歌經得起考驗. 歌詞很有意義. 有翅的(鳥及飛機)都得靠翅膀下的風才得飛翔. 人也是要靠朋友 靠群眾的支持 才能活得有意思~

I was watching the youtube of yours less than half way; then, it went off because shock wave broken that google does not support (I tell you, do not accept google any offer, it will occupy the operation system to embed so many junk ... there too many AD embeded by google it takes over all pic area of news I read, especially UDN & WorldJournal which I highly suspect the newspaper adm. signed some agreement with google to embed unnecessary AD, this is reason why I have to give up my desktop to use laptop which had poor chinese font system.) that I will have to come back to watch the youtube sometimes later. Therefore, I have no saying of the piece.

As for the music, I know nothing of whether Barbara and Bette's paths been entertwined or not (first time I heard of Bette was some times of this moive showing @ 1988. But, you could be right. Both women are talented of their voices and not so of pretty faces; and you're right of Bette is underrated; however, Bette has reputation more in show biz, not by records/no well famed worldwide as Barbara.

If you watched the Youtube attached on my writing to the end, there has another piece (don't remember the title) of Bette in LasVagus show, it is about 2 hous long (which is why even I did not completed that piece,) all Bette's talent exposed on that youtube, it is funny and witty, you'll enjoy it.

I will tell you what I think of 成都美食 later when I finish watch'g on my laptop. 

I don't think you have missed something important by the absent visiting the so called "my hometown" any way. The old impression I wrote is fading (or had faded) from last time I visit my parents' place; needless to say your idea of the old style of Taiwain or old way of living for a piece of history.

After my last pet peeve of google chrome, I decide to delete this hateful system from my web browser. The result is satisfied; the learning experience is "there is no free lunch."

As for the food intro of 美食之旅, the woman may not be a perfect hostess but is not the worse one. Ever since those BBC scandals, I don't know how I would trust BBC; scentific programs may be ok but not program depends on personal researches or personal style. I rarely watch food program any way. Beside, my father used to be the "chef" of my family that I don't think any dishes would be tastier than his food/cooking. My father tried (and started) to cook dishes from his memory of those old taste buds survived on his nostalgia; his foods were very different from those commercial foods you've seen on the youtube. It was the homesickness he put on every dishes, so unique...  (他是成都人，16歲從軍加入青年軍就離鄉不回。)
