The never ending adventures of a Canadian who lives in Wuxi and Jiangyin, China with his Chinese wife Jenny and their son Anthony aka Tony
I was listening to the Red Scare Podcast:
It’s sexy, right wing, clever, wise and hilarious.
I now know what the Z/man, one of my favorite commentators on US politics looks like.
I was surprised to see how his beard was. I believe he said he had one, but I was surprised to see how long it was. I wasn’t surprised by the glasses. He sounded thoughtful and well read.
The above photo shows that the project is taking place all along the boundary of the apartment community.
The photos below show that the dump trucks entering the project have to drive through a pool of water.
Is that ground water or accumulated rain water?
I drove my wife to her work which started at 10:00.
Above the mirror is our apartment community.
I then went for a short walk to the nearby sports center.
Last night I listened to this podcast.

The Z man is a keen observer of the U.S. political scene.
I took this photo at the gate of the Jiangyin apartment community.
From the Wuxi apartment, this is the grand sight:
Diggers and Dunp trucks.
I left my apartment key at the school security gate so she could pick it up.
I wasn’t able to watch the big USA Canada hockey game; I was able to listen to it on YouTube however. Tony joined me later. We were having lunch when the game winning goal was scored. Tony was all happy.
A security guard offered me a cigarette. I gladly took it. I initiated the conversation with the Chinese I knew. I learned that the guard was from Lianyungang, Jiangsu, as was his wife.
Me: “Okay!”
Me: “Hey Tony! You cal leave first! Ha ha!”
My son Tony: “aaahhhhh!!”
Flight to Canada was booked last night.
My quandary has been solved.
July is the flight.
Not many students have visited the Russia stores that have opened up in China.
Friday morning, I’ll be watching the big game from Boston, I hope. I hope I’ll be able to find the game broadcast on a platform in China and not have to pay for it.
Quandary: It’s like this: we would have to pay 8,000 RMB for Tony to take four Cambridge Exams. Jenny doesn’t want to pay for this. Since Tony’s going to Canada, Jenny wonders if he would even to do the exams. I asked ChatGPT and it told me that Jenny may well be right. And since Tony is so shitty at school, we would be saving money on taking the exams. The only problem is that Tony would have no incentive to do anything for May and June. My idea is to have him take one exam in the subject for which he is most confident. Tony would be happy to not take exams. He doesn’t like my idea to even take one exam. But of course, he has no proposal for what to do in May & June beside nothing.
When you fight corruption, the corrupt will fight back.
Lunch: Cheese Sandwich.
Who did I talk to this morning? Beside Tony, no one.
I also have to leave later because my son Tony occupies the bathroom after 6:00 AM.
Here is my new avatar on Weixin (WeChat).
It keeps ‘em guessing .
Played around with Beeware and Ollama this afternoon. The latter, which is an A.I, program, told me that the New England Patriots won four Super Bowls in a row. Every answer it gave me was wrong.
I went to a staff meeting at 12:50 this afternoon. Second semester is tough they say. I say it’s demoralizing.
I finished reading Red Harvest by Dashiell Hammett. It was okay but I lost track of all the characters.
I went to pick up a package from the small shop. A women was asking another if I could speak or understand any Chinese.
Fucking earbuds!
What I won’t miss about the school is the closet at the back of my classroom.
I love it.
I will miss the security guards.
I manage to get through the day without seeing many people.
PP and JP podcast. PP was talking sunshine and rainbows about the economy if he was running it. Not so much about the other things JT has screwed up. Another podcast I listened to said that the results of JT’s follies will hit during PP’s PMship. There will be such a mess that impatient C’s will want the LPCers back.
I have images for you to see:
On the positive side…
On the negative side…
I don’t know what to make of the first photo. I found it on X.
The second photo was taken January 24. 2020. I must have been driving into the wormhole into clown world.
I want to go back, but I can’t.
Listened to a Jordan Peterson podcast with Terry Glanvilke. Glanvilke doesn’t care for Trudeau or care for Trump. But the interview was mostly about Trudeau’s years in power
Listened to a duet featuring the Jesus and Mary Chain.
Liars, Cheats and Thieves by Five Times August.
Sad Little Man by Five Times August.
All those 150 year olders getting Social Security. Proof of fraud even if it is a COBOL default because a date wasn’t entered.
Waste, Fraud, Corruption. To stop it is unconstitutional?
Maybe you should shot yourself. Wrong word on my part. My bad.
Foreign Aid is the transfer of Wealth from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries. That got a lot of likes.
Canadians boo USA hockey team. Then get beaten in the game.
Saw a pic of JT wearing the TC uniform. Make me puke!
Bend over Bernie.
I must have slept well. I needed the alarm to wake me up just now.
I just extended my Duolingo streak to 1849 days.
I fear scared this morning. Whatever courage I imagined I could summon up the evening before is not there. I am forcing myself to go through with my morning activities.
We drove in the vehicle which now has a license plate attached to it.
Notice it’s the same number as the old vehicle.
We then took the train to Jingle Jangles.
