Fear No One But God
Folks, I know what's going on.
Don't worry, the world has been watching, feel free to talk to me.
Meanwhile, sit back and watch the Chinese Olympic.
It only happened once in one hundred years, anything could happen.
I'm not scared at all, nor you should.
As said, trust our LORD, he has been my strength.

Propane Explosions
A series of explosions ripped through the storage facility at Sunrise Propane, occurred about 3:50 am local time near Keele and Wilson avenues in North York early Sunday. One firefighter, identified as Bob Leek, a district chief of emergency planning, died on the scene of the blaze that followed the blasts, a blaze that closed major highways and forced thousands to flee their homes. At least eight people were reported to have been treated for minor injuries. Many area homes were damaged, with windows shattered and doors blown off their hinges.
Acting Police Chief, Kim Derry, said one person who was at the site at the time of the explosion remains unaccounted for. The person, who has not been identified and was described as being of East Indian origin, is believed to be an employee of Sunrise Propane. The cause of the fire was still unknown. The area was still too unstable for Ontario Fire Marshal's Office investigators to enter the site and begin their probe. Toronto police ordered the evacuation of neighbourhoods within 1.6 kilometres of Sunrise Propane. Thousands of people living between Keele Street, Dufferin Street, Sheppard Avenue and Wilson Avenue were ordered to leave their homes.
Mayor David Miller, on vacation in Vancouver, was rushing back to Toronto to help co-ordinate the relief efforts. In a teleconference call he said the city would review how residences came to be so close to a propane yard, this facility was allowed under zoning that has been there for well over a decade.

It's A Miracle
"Hang in there, wait for me, just hang in there." The day I left I dared not to turn around saying goodbye. I was afraid of going to cry.
"Dear Heavenly Father, please show me another miracle when I'm home." I prayed during my journey fighting the bad and the ugly.
After 18 days I came home, I cried badly for miracle did happen from time to time.
Not only I survive, they have survived.

Bogus Accident
Where shall we begin? Let's begin with the sound of sirens of course. 7 August 2008 at 1:38pm I tracked down the ambulance at downtown Washington DC. It's purely basic instinct that I couldn't wait to see who's the patient this time. A couple minutes later the guy who appeared on the stretcher, had been accused by the shop owners nearby as a convict. They believed what we saw was bogus. Finally my dear, I'd met someone making sense in the capital.

Spy Museum
China Town in Washington DC is fairly nice, the cleanest I've ever seen.
Spy Museum was fun, shouldn't be missed. Unfortunately photography is not allowed. I finished the tour and shopping then type-recorded the exterior right across the street. A young security guard lady waved at me from the museum, instead of getting excited thought that she would allow me to take a few snap shots, I waited for the green light walked back slowly. May be she was disappointed to see me acting cool, for she'd tried to making fun of me. I simply asked what's all about? She said she was curious and she wanted to see my receipt, but I had just walked out from the door within her jurisdiction 3 minutes ago. Forgive my ignorance I never knew the line of duty as a security guard based on curiosity. I knew what's going on and when I asked her name she was panic and wouldn't give it to me. Since when customers do not have a right to know a staff member's name if wanting to file a complaint for discrimination or that sort? She even hid her name badge from me, how hilarious.
Monica and Michael were the witnesses of my case. They wouldn't give out the name of their colleague as well and the young lady had been screaming to push me out.
I know you're tired of it, so am I. But then again, if the US citizens in Washington DC can live with it, why can't I?

Think About What You Saw
On 5 August 2008 my adventure started with the White House Visitor Center offers permanent exhibits relating to the White House and its furnishings, first families and ceremonies.
Sirens continues...as journey continues...
As a living memorial to the Holocaust, The Museum inspires leaders and citizens to confront hatred, prevent genocide, promote human dignity, and strengthen democracy. Between 1939 and 1945, Adolf Hitler and his accomplices murdered six million Jews in occupied Europe as part of Nazi genocidal policy. Back to August 1936, Hitler's Nazi dictatorship scored a huge propaganda success as host of the Summer Olympics. The International Olympic Committee had awarded Berlin the Games in 1931. When Hitler took power two years later, the US and other countries considered but ultimately rejected the idea of a boycott. The world thereby missed the chance to take a stand, that some observers at the time claimed, might have strengthened resistance to Nazi tyranny.
I'm much appreciated John McCain's famous quote of "I'd much rather lose a political campaign than lose a war.” Hence I hope Barack Obama would be smart enough to consider this - "I'd much rather lose a political campaign than lose a life." Picking Hillary Clinton as his running mate of VP is far too dangerous my friend.
