27Jun2025 - This is turning into a journal/journey-down-memory-lane thing. I'm looking through my old photo albums, and at the same time, other memories and thoughts are popping up in my mind. This is what old(er) people do, yes? 9May2025 - I decided to leave FB, and just share my photos etc here. Thank you to the special people who check in here...(7Dec2022 - crlazlo meanderings 2 is now 2.1 - I will continue to use it as a preview/workspace for my FB posts, but I will also start organizing the many photos from my retirement years, and also start a journal/memories thing. That's the plan anyway.)

Prey or Predator? I'm not sure what I am, but I watch a lot of Nature things on YouTube when I'm tiring in the evening. Being a day-dreamer, I thought about this last week when I was waiting for a ride to the Arts Fair. I was standing down on the roadside where the Jeepneys, buses and taxis flow by, and me being a foreigner, I was getting a lot of quiet honks, headlight blinks etc from the taxis. I was focusing on the "Modern Jeepneys": they're cheaper, larger than the regular Filipino Jeepneys, and you can even stand up in one of them when they're crowded. I eventually got on one of them, and went as far as the Ayala Mall area, where I hailed a taxi for my second leg to the Oakridge Business Park venue. Later, after eating at "Big Toms Charbroiled Burger" (I got a Hawaiian Burger with fries and a coke), I got a taxi for my return trip home. It being a Sunday, the traffic was less, and the taxi driver was fun to talk to - p150 I think it was. That's $2.54 in US. A little bit of a splurge, but after 5 hours or so of perusing Art, talking with Artists and Craftspersons, I was tired,...and happy. These are my people. Going back to my first sentence, after what seemed like 10 different taxis slowing down and saying "take me...", I thought about the nature shows I watch in the evenings :)
