    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    My favorite hot weather treat: Grass Jelly. Traditionally thought to have exceptional cooling or 'yin' qualities, it is derived from the leaves of a plant from the mint family. Hard to take photographs when one is carrying bags of fruits. What we find utterly fascinating is an...

    The fish vendors travel to the Taipei central fish market every morning at around 3AM to procure their fish, and some travel to the coast at Keelung to buy their fish directly from the fishermen as they pull into port before dawn. One of several Pompano species found in the waters of Taiwan...

    A contrast of old and new: Compact fluorescent bulb in the lanterns that border the park entrances. Lunch at one of myriad small, specialty restaurants that dot the countless narrow, barely one-car-width one-way streets and alleyways throughout Taipei. Pedestrians are afforded many safety...

    Up before dawn on August 6th and anxious to start the day in Taipei. The forecast of rain and wind did not deter me from wearing my Montecristi, as I was armed with an emergency plastic bag and carried an umbrella. Yes, that bear I am holding is actually an umbrella! Taipei sits at the...

    Our chariot for the cross-globe flight: EVA Boeing 777-300ER. Taxiing out onto runway 24L, and taking off to the West. Ascending past the misty California coastline. The enormously powerful General Electric GE90 turbofan, one of a pair propelling the long-range 777 variant. A single...

    The house finally begins to stir as my family awaken, a few at a time. My lovely 17-year-old niece Carrie takes a liking to my Montecristi... ...as does 7-year-old Nicole. Diminutive in size but not spirit, she sports my size 7-1/2+ lid with panache. Ryan with his first cousins...

    Randall: Thanks for your kind words! Believe me, I know of what you speak. Over the years we have searched in gravel pits(with permission), down gravel roads, and along the banks of streams, rivers, and the shore of Lake Superior. The largest agates we have found have been quarter-pounders...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    My compliments to all for a fine display of wonderful hats over the weekend! I am afraid I have not had much variety to contribute to this thread this Summer as I find myself wearing my Montecristis exclusively. Summer is too fleeting, and the hats too nice to be sitting on a shelf when they...
