It’s 8:46 Sunday morning. I’m listening to music to block out the sound jackhammers. Everyday at 8am, including Saturday and Sunday, construction begins at the building next door. The city is restoring an old office building to be used as some kind of audio-visiual center. They don’t stop work until 7pm at night or so. This construction started a week after I moved in. The bad is I can’t relax at home when I want to. I’m usually gone for most of the day but nowadays I wake up at 7am so i can wake up in peace. The good side is that on Saturday I can’t sleep in all day. I got to get out and when I do it’s usually to the library.

Lǎba means horn or trumpet in Chinese. This is a photo of my scooter with a rearview mirror rigged on with electrical tape and wire. My mirror broke off when a car backing out or in knocked it over. Not having a mirror wasn’t a problem until inspection time. The old mirror never stayed in place. After it broke off, the piece holding the light switch and horn could move around. Not finding the horn when I needed it was a little troublesome. But now it’s fixed. Brillant work by my friend 宗庭. It passed inspection on Thursday. Now, the scooter is in my name and I got insurance. It feels good to get those procedures out of the way.

唉…我脖子很酸痛. 我早上去看醫生照x-光, 說骨頭沒事, 就肌肉拉傷了.
