"Seven. Zero. X. Three math symbols. Three subset realities. Overlapping entries to a higher unified existence.

Seven is the saddest entry for me. That's because it's the number of 'Moonwalkers' left alive on Earth, following the death of Edgar Mitchell on 5/2/2016, aged 85. Seven left.

Down from the Original Twelve. Twenty years from now, the probability is very high that we'll be living in a world with no Moonwalkers at all. The acme/apex of our scientific and cultural history to date. Mankind's one achievement that will resonate through the Millenniums, according to the late Sir Arthur C. Clarke. When we left our Earthly cradle and took our first fumbling baby steps on the path that will lead to peer acceptance by our ET kin.

Welcome (eventually) to the Intergalactic Collective, people!"

"We have been asked to remove all the Dragonboat trophy cups from the back of The Island Bar. There won't be room for them when it's finished being renovated.
Penny and I have decided there is little option except to bin them. If you have any great desire to save them from the bins, please head down now."

This is a now-historic photo (13 Sep 2015, during a recruiting day) of the ever-expanding number of Lamma Dragons trophies, the end of a long-time image of North Lamma history. Where will all their many future trophies be exhibited?

Assistant Sous-Chef Elisha ~ Sous-Chef Tracy feeding the hungry masses

Lamma-Por & I attended this year's Anticipated Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper, close to the Pak Kok Ferry Pier. This is just another one of Pak Kok's yearly traditional parties, besides our markets, carols singing, rooftop birthdays, beach cleanings, Lamma Enduro bike races, Meet the Neighbours, farewell parties, etc.

On these cheerful occasions you can meet and chat with many of your neighbours, even the ones you usually just encounter on and off the commuter ferries, transfixed on their smartphones.

It was Lamma-Por's birthday, so I pre-ordered a birthday pancake from gracious host & Masterchef Bud (who was wearing a Bud apron and was hiding in the miniscule kitchen, preparing the huge amounts of cake batter). He was so busy that he needed two talented and hard-working sous-chefs, Tracy & Elisha, see above.
