In Fashion 新潮流

New Fashion in Shanghai, China. This lady strolled down busy street in Shanghai City in pajamas and slippers. Look like not many people pay attention to her!? 上海服裝新流行。這位女士穿著睡衣拖鞋閒逛上海街頭。其他的行人好像不會欣賞她的新創意。真是見怪不怪!

Black Friday 黑色星期五

Christmas shopping spree starts on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving Day. I decided to look for some softwares and personal items this morning. I left home at near 7:00AM, 45F outdoor, a little bit chill but very comfortable weather with a jacket on. I went to 4 stores.
To my surprise, this store's parking lot was not full. I parked on the third row spot near the store front. Two police cars parked near entrance to the store. Once I came into the store, I saw law officers standing near exit door and about same numbers of customers and store workers. Checkout counters had no long line to wait, possibly due to internet selling/buying.
A lot of people were unemployed and cut back on spending this year. I pray that the world economy will recover soon and peace for all mankind. 聖誕拍𧷗購物潮開始於黑色星期五也就是感恩節後一天。我想去找一些軟體和私人用品。七點左右出發, 外面約華氏45度, 涼了些但穿著夾克覺得蠻舒服的。我去了四間商場。
當我來到這家購物場時,發現她的停車場空位很多。我車停在門前笫三位。兩部警車停在大門進口處。走進裡面, 看到警察站在出口附近, 顧客跟服務人員人數看似一樣多。付帳處無長龍等不久就可輪到結帳, 可能受到網路售購的影響。
不景氣加上裁員失業多, 今年很多人包括我都要節省開支。祈願世界經濟景氣早日復甦, 人人和平相處。

PS. I covered part of the store sign.
註: 我稍微蓋住招牌。

Computer & Cameras 電腦與相機

I carried my camera with me while I did morning exercise. With camera at hands, I walked, meditated, and took pictures. I was amazed at God's beautiful creation. I picked up a lot of scenes that was attracted to me at that moment and shared them on Sirtea Garden. (Ooop! They might be nothing special to you.)

Several years ago, my son, Tom introduced me to digital camera and computer. He gave me two (in separate year) digital cameras (see picture below) and a computer with accessories-softwares and an all-in-one printer. He even paid for in home setup and startup. The technician/Specialist walked me through basic technique, and eased my ignorant of computer. Tom, Again I thank you for your thoughtfulness and generosity. 我說過, 我每天晨運時手拿着照相機一邊散步沈思自省祈禱一路拍照片。驚奇地欣賞上帝所創造出各形各色的自然㬌物。我拍攝了我當時認爲有趣的㬌物在茶翁家園與格友們分享。(噢! 你可能認爲那有什麼值得一看, 抱歉了!)。

幾年前我的兒子-湯帶領我進入電腦及數位相機的生活境界。他給我兩個(不同年)數位照相機(上圖)和一整套的電腦含必需的軟體和多功能的印表機。他還付錢請電腦行家到家裏來裝組,連接上網開帳戶等等。這位專業人士很耐心地教我電腦的基本知識, 讓這個不識電腦的人稍除恐懼無奈。湯, 再一次多謝你體貼的爲人與慷慨贈品。

Thank You All 感謝您們

Happy Thanksgiving To You!

祝您 感恩節快樂!
