My impression of Texas Feb 16, 2021

老孙,新年好!
谢谢回应。

【旅游见闻】 《游德州》

回想当年游德州,也是早春二月头。
骄阳似火如入夏,休斯顿人穿短袖。
玻璃大厦反光大,摄影等到五点后。
雕塑公园转一圈,后悔没带防晒油。
三天游至阿拉莫,安东尼奥像苏州。
酒肆沿河连排开,小船穿桥听歌喉。
侍女笑问想喝啥,德州牛排两斤厚!
啤酒薯条加生菜,葱圈蘸椒辣死牛!

Unprecedented' arctic weather shocks Texas Feb 17, 2021

老沈:谢谢!新年好!

今年德州气候太反常!据说最近德州这场大雪是自1949年以来70多年不遇的大雪。我自2001年来到奥斯汀之后,只见过两次下雪,而且下得都不大。现在可好,到了德克萨斯就好像到了 New Hampshire 或 Colorado!比你们西雅图还冷!德州老百姓大多没有在冰天雪地里开车的经验,所以最近路上车祸十分频繁。

德州的牛排确实是实惠,不过现在恐怕只有外卖,没有堂吃。自一年多前新冠疫情爆发之后,我们一直没敢上饭馆。希望一切都能很快恢复正常!祝你全家新年快乐、安康!

President Taft's Cow - Daily Dairy Feb 20, 2021

Pauline  
Pauline Wayne - the last cow to graze on the White House lawn, furnished milk and butter for the First Family.
At the time William Howard Taft was elected the 27th President of the United States (1909-1913), milk still wasn’t something you could easily come by without your own cow. Taft and his family moved in with a cow they had named Mooly Wooly, but she was soon replaced with a gift-cow, Pauline Wayne, from a Wisconsin congressman. (Library of Congress)

《2021元宵怀念扎灯君伯》

冰雪消融渐入春,元宵最念海宁灯。
八面玲珑花灯笼,江南一绝非虚名。
竹篾为骨纸糊面,尺幅针刺景传神。
山水人物任意排,亭台楼阁鲤鱼门。
扎灯不忘读经史,硖石名家孙惟君。

《2021元宵怀念扎灯君伯》

冰雪消融渐入春,元宵最念海宁灯。
八面玲珑花灯笼,江南一绝非虚名。
竹篾为骨纸糊面,尺幅针刺景传神。
山水人物任意排,亭台楼阁鲤鱼门。
扎灯不忘读经史,硖石名家孙惟君。

D.S.2021.0225.a

Notes
*海宁灯:灯彩是儿时的记忆,以其中以硖石的灯彩尤为著名,听说早已成了“国家级非物质文化遗产”。Here is a link to a video on How to make a Haining style lantern (a 3-4 min video).
https://v.qq.com/x/search/?q=海宁硖石灯彩&stag=txt.playpage.vppdesc

*少时曾与学校美术组同学一起拜访君伯(孙伯),想跟他学画人物,老伯笑而不语。追问后道,我画的这些才子佳人对你们没用,是要被批判的。你们想画人物,参照《工农兵画报》就行了。结果不到两年,那画报也开始大量刊登古代人物了,什么儒家、法家、阴阳家等等,数量远超‘工农兵’。我们为了配合‘批林批孔’运动,也被要求学画历史人物。可问题来了,画惯了雄赳赳红彤彤的工农兵,却没人知道古人穿的是什么样的衣服。

11 March 2020

WHO Director-General:

Good afternoon.

In the past two weeks, the number of cases of COVID-19 outside China has increased 13-fold, and the number of affected countries has tripled.

There are now more than 118,000 cases in 114 countries, and 4,291 people have lost their lives.
Thousands more are fighting for their lives in hospitals.

In the days and weeks ahead, we expect to see the number of cases, the number of deaths, and the number of affected countries climb even higher.

WHO has been assessing this outbreak around the clock and we are deeply concerned both by the alarming levels of spread and severity, and by the alarming levels of inaction.

We have therefore made the assessment that COVID-19 can be characterized as a pandemic.

Pandemic is not a word to use lightly or carelessly. It is a word that, if misused, can cause unreasonable fear, or unjustified acceptance that the fight is over, leading to unnecessary suffering and death.

Describing the situation as a pandemic does not change WHO’s assessment of the threat posed by this virus. It doesn’t change what WHO is doing, and it doesn’t change what countries should do.

We have never before seen a pandemic sparked by a coronavirus. This is the first pandemic caused by a coronavirus.

And we have never before seen a pandemic that can be controlled, at the same time.
WHO has been in full response mode since we were notified of the first cases.

And we have called every day for countries to take urgent and aggressive action.

We have rung the alarm bell loud and clear.

===
