I ordered two magazines last year when I started to travel (Business Week and The Economist) and they have a weird way of piling up in my room. I'll look through them, but they tend to go unread. However, whenever I get either the ND Magazine or Peeks (magazine of the 46ers) I read it cover to cover. I think it's a combination of the frequency they are published and the personal connection to the subject matter. They're both a nice reminder of things back home.
Today's photo is from the drive into work. We have a driver with a van bring us back and forth to work. It used to be a big crew packing it in, but now we're working shift so a little more room to operate. This guy is our third driver, I don't know his name. The first one was Weetoon, a jolly Thai guy that tried to speak to us in Thai and we tried to speak to him in English, and somehow we got along just fine. Except his van didn't have seatbelts. When UOP safety chief came to town this had to change. Second guy was Ning, a much younger smiley guy that would slow down as we passed thai women on the streat and say "ooohh, lady, lady." Not sure why we lost him, something about too much overtime carting us around. This guy is nice, we buy him cokes when he stops at 7-Eleven on the way home. The other guy messing with his glasses is Richard. We're working the same shift so you'll probably be seeing a lot of him. Things to notice: praying monk and model military jet, whhaattt?
