still stormy

the chairs blew off the front porch in the night....not walking weather this morning, but it's all moving to the north and east they say.....maybe it will be nicer in the afternoon sometime....I drove to the gas station and got the Greenville paper, and the weekly Clinton paper, which usually doesn't have too much of interest in it, but today it had a front page article about the Confucius Institute opening at PC.....they put up an eight foot tall statue of Confucius..."The statue is the largest of the Chinese philosopher in the country..." Is this all a front for Commie propaganda? They want to start teaching Chinese in grade school.....on Dish I get CCTV, ChiComTelevision (well, they call it Chinese Cultural TeleVision)....it's got lots of good shows....like the one where they went up in the mountains to this place where the local specialty food is giant noodles....I mean these noodles were two feet wide and twelve feet long.....one of those suckers feeds an extended family for a week, or something like that.....
