Yue Yue R.I.P.

• That's Yue Yue in her mother's arms in a portrait. The Kaulins Family has similar style portraits on their walls.
• Yue Yue R.I.P. How I feel for her parents. It will be hard for them for now on.
• I had an English corner last night, and I broached the subject of Yue Yue. I had the feeling as I did so, that I was talking about old news with the students. The students who answered my questions said that the incident could have happened in pre-1980's China, could happen in Wuxi, and that Yue Yue's death won't change things.
• I have told the students that the world has watched the video. I have tempered my questions by saying that it could happen anywhere in the world. But there seems to be an admittance that there is a Chinese problem on display.
• Sometimes, one's efforts to cheer someone up don't work. We shouldn't tease. A teacher at school has lost his voice. He is teaching but we are trying to cheer him up through the ordeal. Most teachers, will teach, no matter what.
• I am still a Cainiac. Herman Cainiac that is.
• Is there anyone who really is enthusiastic about Mitt Romney? I haven't heard of such people.
• I want to phone my parents who are both in hospital but I am going to have to wait till Monday when I am not working. It seems that best time to phone them are in the early or very early morning. I haven't had an update from my sister so I assume no news is good news.
