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...October2025 - I'm back... (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.)

I posted this 6 years ago, on 17May2020 - "When I lived in Japan, hearing the sound of my copy of the English Japan Times drop through the slit in my apartment’s metal door was one of my favorite things. I’m sitting here, reading my morning newspaper, and thinking about all of the hard print newspapers dying off nowadays." I can't remember the last time I read a hard copy newspaper. Sad... ps - The city where I was living had a regulation that allowed buildings with 5 floors or less have No elevators, so my newspaper delivery person walked up 5 flights of stairs every day. This has nothing to do with this photo. I just like the colors...

Chrome and Grills - from one of the Car Shows they have every Summer in the US
This is a shot straight out from our window yesterday, showing the new BDO bank building at sunset. I'll get a pan video one evening showing the hotel on one side of us with it's animated colored lights and the BDO bldg. The bent pole to the left is on top of the Metrobank next door. It was bent over by Typhoon Odette, and it will remain that way forever, just like the "Ghost Building" on the back right. They ran out of money, or they didn't check the land restrictions whatever...

Island Hopping
from a post 12 years ago: "I think, after another 7 or 8 years?, I'll be done with all of these upgrades, all of these tecnological advances. I might be there already. I remember my first big upgrade, the Apple IIe. It might have been "the enhanced Apple IIe in 1985, which had 128k RAM". Wow! 128k!" I'm just kicking at these technological hurdles nowadays...knock'em over or push them aside. I can't figure them out anyway. Haha. But I have been dipping my toes into AI lately. We'll see...
