financial freedom means that you are financially secured. you don't have to
work, you can retire early, your primary residence is paid for, etc.
even a panhandler can spend the money he/she has freely, but that's not
financial freedom. |

12. 那个panhandler对面的Antonio's Nut House的owner据说是一个大款。不
时开一辆不同的fancy车来上班。到它bar的很多人都被他的车给震惊了，没事围着他的
车夸个不停。有人猜测他应该是有个car dealer朋友，每天让他换着车开。白天没见识

是Mt. Rainier经典徒步路线之一，山路爬升缓慢，难度适中，目前正值冰雪初融、野
花初绽，是去此路线徒步的最佳时机。我有国家公园年卡，大家可以拼车去。不限男女
老幼，报名从速，好统一安排拼车计划。

今年夏天LD带女儿回国过暑假，俩个多月，我奉命看家护院，修花割草。六月初娘儿俩

一热，上网查了查，七月底到Anchorage机票也就四百多，立马定了票。
等到冷静下来再慢慢定行程的时候，才意识到哎哟妈呀这阿拉斯加怎么嘛都贼贵,机票
可能算是最便宜的开销了。租车已经没啥deal了，最后Full-Size税后11天$850。再查

后来亲眼目睹一轮斗大的金黄皓月，在德州“锅柄”（Panhandle）幽蓝的夜空中冉冉
升起，当时心情,又怎一句惊艳了得!
但孤零一人独立秋风，举头望月良久, 低头却连个对影都没有，顿时思想起伏,怀乡念
亲人之心油然而生，不再纠结月是他乡明。
记忆中儿时最丰盛最戏剧性的中秋节，当数龙年一九七六，在那个多事之秋。
老爸请了一位同行,《南方日报》记者黄生来过节。
老妈在宿舍门前的棕榈树椰子树下摆了几张凳子，款待客人县委食堂制造,限量供应凭
票领取的月饼，还有私家甜品芋头糖水以及沙田柚。
那夜月色朦胧,虫唧蛙鸣的甚为热闹. 我赖在一旁努力想听懂大人的对话，过了许多时
辰仍不肯去睡觉，直到人家说起七月二十八日的河北唐山大地震。
黄生爆料说他的医生太太随队前往灾区救死扶伤，颇目睹了些哀鸿遍野，尸臭弥漫的惨
状.我幼小的心灵承受不了如此之重，才灰溜溜地跟着老妈跑去防震棚蒙头大睡。
不记得晚上是否做了恶梦，不过第二天(九月九日)就传来了毛主席的噩耗。

Alaska, 源于阿留申语Alyeska, 意为the“Great Land”。对阿拉斯加的第一印象就是
大，无比之大。它是美国面积最大的州，占地172万平方公里，接近美国本土（lower

国20座最高峰，17座在这里，其中Mt.Denali海拔6200米，是北美第一高峰。育空河（
Yukon River）是阿拉斯加的母亲河，全长2000英里，全美第3。阿拉斯加活冰川的数量
也是超过世界其它人类居住地区冰川数量的总和。

of this phenomenon was by Lewis Fry Richardson.
More concretely, the length of the coastline depends on the method used to
