I had dinner w/ my Japanese American college sister figure and her Indian American husband. They have been visiting Asia for the past few weeks together w/ their neighbor and friends, another couple of no-color.

They are scientists, and live in North Carolina.

This is the first time I had met my 'sister' since 1982.

They have a son serving in the military.

The man noted, and I quote word for word, "you know, now that we are going home soon, I feel as if I am returning to a different country"

The wife, my friend, counseled, "let's see"

Their friends ordered another bottle of wine.

None saw Clinton as a viable alternative, and all saw Trump as the wrong choice.

I took them to a Peking roast duck dinner, and got them laughing w/ stories and observations.

Since none of us are getting out of here alive, we might as well enjoy.

The duck restaurant here in Beijing is a 5-stories and large footprint building, serving guests on every floor.

A lot of ducks die here every day.

Don't be too ashamed of your country. When I needed inspiration to renovate an old-deck I went straight to NZ for ideas.
