      The cement mixer was fun too. Now we're worried about leaving it there overnight.
      Mount an armed guard, Lancer! I came home tonight to find one of my trash cans had been stolen! Lord knows what they could get on the blackmarket for a stolen cement mixer.

        It hurt so much to sit down today that it really helped me to keep working. I lead by example!

          It's late October and still in the high 80s around here. That's what I look like doing construction and tree work. And the cement mixers can be fun!

          The Filipino workers were amazed, I don't think they've ever seen a white guy work.

          Maybe they were afraid you would explode or something.
          Its just like that around here, definately warm. Having the ocean right there is very nice though. Get too hot, jump in and cool off! Plus we have fresh cool sweet water plumbed in that's very refreshing.

          Around here its not the white guys that explode, its the moslems.

            I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.

              Lancer, please don't give a bad example... Next time they expect us white guys to work
              Too late Hueij, I've become a source of entertainment for the locals. This culture has no problem with watching people work, its a major pass time for the old and unemployed...as well as the cute! Some very cute girls came to check out the spectacle.

                  No...that's more of an end of the world, wrath of God type wave, not a stormy high tide Bohol island style wave. The kind of thing that hits Thailand, not here.

                      There was a bomb in the Ayala mall in Manila. Here on Bohol theres nothing worth blowing up, and very few moslems, and/or communists and the ones we have are the non explosive kind.

                        Use the cables from the camera to connect to the PC - save to hard drive - attach to posts.

                          They told me not to worry about it, that the locals would watch it for us. It was still there this morning. L.A. it aint. Though even in my little town in Oregon it would have been gone. I love these people of Bohol!

                                Why wasn't that listed as part of the compensation package $4/day, tuna and cute girls oogling the hardworking labor force.
