How to “Read” spam emails


Most of us get them daily in our Inbox:

“congratulations! you have just inherited 20 million dollars.

To claim your inheritance, please contact Mr. Jameen Potusoola Smith - Attorney At Large- UK”


And, Most of us by now don’t go beyond the “Congratulations!”

“Yo! you!

Yes, you!

Yo!

or Sara Palin

or Dick Cheney’s dick

you do not know we’re dying in the streets.


We have corruption, pain and violence

that is beyond belief.

We have no food to feed our babies

and our wounds won’t heal.


Yo! you who lives in pretty cities,

You who don’t even begin to know the meaning of lack,

can you cut an aching brother a slack?

First we needed to get to the city of Hengchun, where we could take a three hour long bus to the city of Kaohsiung, and then take the high speed train to Taipei Station. The hiking group was in good spirits this morning, cooking breakfast and packing up their gear. We were all a bit disappointed that we didn’t get to hike the scenic route along the southeastern coast, but it was clear now that this typhoon was a massive one. News reports described it as a once in 30 years stor...
