The 2nd half of my stuff arrived today. Now I have the bike. I will start biking to work tomorrow. Hopefully I can stick to it. I need the exercise badly. The remodeling is close to finish. Our lives will go back to normally soon. I swam in the pool last weekend. It was pretty nice diving into the pool. I got in touch with former coworker at my first job. Will have lunch together. He still remembers me. We only worked together for 4 months. It is a bit of hostile environment at work b/c of the Olympics. The Americans took it hard that china is doing so well. The only logical explanation is china plays unfairly. I don't feel it is that different between PA and CA. It felt like oil don't blend with water no matter where. I was a old timer at my previous job so I didn't feel they were in my face that much. But as a new timer here, they don't care if I am around. I feel the games are going downhill. Every Olympics will be worse than the previous one. Beijing was the peak.
