Ouch, my tongue got cut off. Yeah, that's how I feel right now when I saw my comment (Comment #29) to 吕喆 's Blog on “ 神七 ” 太空行走 got deleted. WHY? All I did was to provide two YouTube links that question some minor details seen in the spacewalk video. Gosh, ...
Background: I have more than 1,000 email messages in my inbox. I would be a lot happier if it's less than 1,000, which I tried when I had some time to kill. But, I never dreamed of having zero messages in my inbox. Now, I may actually have found a solution... inbox z ...

Yes, in Macy's case, it counted for $25 (late fee dismiss). I was away for too long and missed a payment by one day. It's my fault, and I expected a penalty. The new bill came in today, and I felt I should at least give them a call. (Normally, I hate to call 1-800 numbers because I don't like to ta ...
My eyes saw smog, which got much worse as the train D337 approached Tianjin South. The visibility was not much improved until the train arrived at Weifang, the last but one station. From there, one could tell the sky was (lite) blue. As the train entered Qingdao, the sky was getting bluer. Suddenly ...
I look out of my window everyday for three days, and all I can see is smog. I am on the 10th floor. Maybe the air on a 100th floor would be better?
