Perhaps now beyond Bodhisattva and into true Buddhist being. Namaste.
5 years agoWhich reminds me, Bruce. How are you and that new Brooks saddle getting along?
5 years agoGreat shot! You've taken many, Bruce, but this one seems special
5 years agoI too want a Double Rhino T!
5 years agoYeah, all cultures have things that seem weird to others but are probably fine. My buddy ate some fried grasshoppers when we were in North Carolina a few years ago on the Appalachian Trail. Of course, he might have had a few beers beforehand. Or more than a few. The other guys and I couldn't bring ourselves to join him. With the grasshoppers, that is. We joined him with beers.
5 years agoNaw. I haven’t. I’m sure they’re flavored with some kind of flavorful grilling sauce and probably aren’t bad at all.
5 years agoI'm famished!
Have you eaten these delicacies?
Hi Jacquie,
So, that's why you know about asphalt!
I feel as though I know very little about Asian anything because Asia is such a huge region and so diverse. Knowing just a little keeps me returning to learn more.
I’m sure those who went to engineering school have. I was a structural engineer before I retired, though I spent the last 20 or so years of my career teaching fundamentals to civil engineering students.
I was interested to learn why you know so much about Asian history.
Thank you Jacquie for your good explanation. I had never heard of asphaltic concrete so it struck me odd. And I'm sure the Burmese have never heard of it either.
5 years agoI have got to go with the Converse and rainbow argyle sock look!
5 years agoWell, yes, you're right, Chris. Chang is my go to beer in Thailand mostly due to its cheaper price. It's good beer too.
5 years agoTrump, "There were good people, on both sides."
5 years agoYes, that's what it's actually called.
What we in North America generally refer to as "asphalt" is technically asphaltic concrete, consisting of aggregate and a bituminous binder.
The stuff we call "concrete" is technically Portland cement concrete and consists of aggregate in a binder made of Portland cement and water. [From Wikipedia: In his 1824 cement patent, Joseph Aspdin called his invention "Portland cement" because of the its resemblance to Portland stone.]
Congratulations! You’re both super tough.
