Oh Hi Lychee and Hi My Precocious Canada Goose! \u00a0So nice to see you! \u00a0Where were you sleeping last night when IT\u00a0<\/span>happened!<\/p>\n

Newspaper .. Is THAT<\/span>\u00a0THE WORD you are confused about Lychee and Precocious?<\/p>\n

Annually I contribute to Wikipedia. Where would I? Where would we? Be without Wikipedia!<\/p>\n

A newspaper<\/b> (often just called a paper<\/b> when the context is clear) is a periodical<\/a> publication containing news<\/a>, other informative articles<\/a> (listed below<\/a>), and usuallyadvertising<\/a>. A newspaper is usually printed on relatively inexpensive, low-grade paper<\/a> such as newsprint<\/a>. The news organizations that publish newspapers are themselves often metonymically<\/a> called newspapers. Most newspapers now publish online<\/a> as well as in print<\/a>. The online versions are called online newspapers<\/a> or news sites.<\/p>\n

Newspapers are typically published daily<\/a> or weekly<\/a>. News magazines<\/a> are also weekly, but they have a magazine<\/a> format.<\/p>\n

THANKS DAD ..<\/span><\/p>\n

Neither of us can read Dad .. But Thanks for whatever you wrote above .. \/signed\/ \u00a0Lychee and Precocious ..<\/p>\n

IF\u00a0<\/span>I were a newspaper columnist .. I could have a column titled:<\/p>\n

CAP’S DAILY MESS !<\/span><\/p>\n

In my Room 607 here at the HOMY INN in downtown Kowloon China .. I have a window ..<\/p>\n

\"DSCN7699[1]\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Down below the window in my Room 607 in my beloved HOMY INN .. On a ledge beside my bed .. I have my CPAP breathing machine (on the far right below) and I keep my post cards on the ledge to the left of my CPAP.<\/p>\n

I have a bottle that I use.\u00a0Far down below my window is a vacant Alley .. vacant at 3:30AM in the dark of an early morning!<\/p>\n

\"DSCN7704[1]\"<\/a><\/p>\n

No Captain! Danger Captain! It used to be an Orange Juice Bottle Captain!<\/span><\/p>\n

So I decided to empty my bottle about half-full of water and mouthwash .. out the window and down onto the vacant alley below. \u00a0I have done this before with\u00a0NO DRAMA!<\/span><\/p>\n

Last night .. at about 3:30AM in the early dark morning .. when I emptied my bottle out the window ..<\/p>\n

THE WINDOW WAS CLOSED!<\/span><\/p>\n

Back into my room .. down onto the ledge .. came the water and mouthwash !<\/p>\n

LORD GOD IN HEAVEN ABOVE .. ANOTHER ORANGE JUICE BOTTLE MESS!<\/span><\/p>\n

My CPAP and my post cards .. wet ! \u00a0Soaked .. Sopped ! The bedding on the edge of my bed .. wet .. soaked .. sopping wet ! Oh Me Oh My ! \u00a0When .. if ever .. will it end ?<\/p>\n

Just Another Day Here In Paradise!<\/span><\/p>\n
