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 :)
