And this one is from someone who is only 5169 miles away in Lima, Peru! Guangzhou is 6571 miles away according to the intarweb. Lessee, my car has 14,200 miles in 6 years. That means I could make it to Lima in almost three years. I did end up chatting with her online. Thuy bet me that she’d be Chinese and Thuy was right! A bit stiff, but then again English is probably not her first language.

Speaking of Chinese women, the slightly goofy-seeming Chinese woman from the gym said she worked in a lab, and then yesterday she made the offhand comment, “I’m not THAT kind of doctor.” I finally asked her what she meant and she’s a postdoc in molecular biology. Or biochemistry. Or something. (Don’t ask me to describe it since I gave up on chemistry a while ago.) In a lab at OHSU where I used to be the lab slave back in the early 90’s! So, not so goofy, but a smarty pants! Too bad she’s not tall. She’s from Canada, I think.

What is it with me and foreign Chinese women lately?

Oh, and I saw an even taller woman at the gym today. By tall I mean taller than me, probably over 6′ 3″. Yow.

Contrary to popular belief, I talk to lots of women at the gym. I just don’t ask any of them out.

Oh, and I DID NOT VOID THE WARANTEE ON MY SISTER’S COMPUTER. I DENY THIS IS HER LAPTOP.

If it was my sister’s laptop, I’d resolder the power connector and make sure the cable from the power adapter was OK and reattach the plug.
