Tank Museums

My dream would be to visit all these tank museums:

Kubinka Tank Museum — Russian Tank Museum

Musée des Blindés — French Tank Museum
http://www.musee-des-blindes.asso.fr/2blindes/2jpresent.htm

Deutsches Panzermuseum — German Tank Museum

Patton Museum of Cavalry and Armor — United States Tank Museum

Yad La-Shiryon - Israeli Tank Museum

and the U.S. Army Ordnance Museum at the Aberdeen Proving Ground, in Aberdeen, Maryland, USA.

I have visited the one at Bovington thrice and it was wondrous. My next plan would be to visit the French Tank Museum at Saumur.

I watched Rear Window again after eleven years. Heh. Perhaps my second or third time watching it.

Kraftwerk1

"Kraftwerk1 was organized under near-utopian tenets that Mr. Wehrli said are largely successful. Residents collaborate on maintenance projects, group dinners, film nights and a video library, to name a few of the co-op’s innovations."

Cleansing

"A person’s soul could be cleansed only when his domestic surroundings were purged: “Soon the streets of the town will shine like white walls. ... Then fulfillment shall be ours.” "

Manchester Derby

A wonderful day of celebration! Manure (Manchester United) lost! There may not be a season left, at least, it finishes with such a note. Yes!

Phony money

"Sooner or later — within a few years, I predict — this latest Wall Street bubble, inflated by an egregious flood of phony money from the Federal Reserve rather than real economic gains, will explode, too."

A scene of desolation

I was in the office of a failed iPhone app developer. The place was abandoned in a hurry. There was junk everywhere including half-finished boxes of Chicken in a Biskit. Most curiously, there were a pile of Windows 98 licences too. Why on earth would people buy these things?

In addition, there was lots of empty boxes of Mac Air laptops, Canon lenses, Sony handicams and so forth. It would appeared that someone was spending a lot of money towards the last days.

There were also iPhone app development manuals, an Xcode 3 manual and other assorted junk especially tomes of Yellow Pages phone books.

New look


No more black, gloomy screens. It is time for a change. The last change was in July 2010.
First, there was the 33.5 degree heat yesterday. Now, it rains. Fortunately, I had ran 5.19 km yesterday and the day before.

I will contemplate on running longer distances.
