    I walked out in my back yard yesterday to throw a couple of balls back over the fence the neighbor kids had tossed over. I didn't take my oxygen, thught i probably wouldn't need it for a quick walk to the back yard and back. I tossed over the balls anbd started back in the house and thought, " My God, I'm a dead man walking. I could hardly make it back through the garage and into the kitchen where my oxygen tubing hung on the door knob. It took me a few minutes to recover. I finally made it to my office where I fired up my computer, put it in gear and go off to visit eastern China. I grabbed a few photos along the way. Take a look. Along the way I stoppd at the zoo.

    I made three other stops, one a field of lantana flowers where butterflys were tasting the nector and an area where sea salt is being harvested:

    The sea Salt area was not anything like the salt mined in New Mexico or up in Canada but it was interesting to watch them dry the salt and pile it up for shipment to factories where it was cleaned and prepared for use.
