I know that many find it handy, but every time I try to get it to activate PayPal, it discovers some new stupid reason why it can’t do it. The latest one is: “We cannot send the 4-digit PayPal code to this card. Please choose another card.” Hey! I don’t have another card. What’s wrong with the card I use all the time to buy stuff on the internet? And, why can’t they “send the 4-digit PayPal code to this card”? I want answers, not puzzles.

SO, since the company I contacted to move Madang – Ples Bilong Mi to a new home only (naturally) accepts payment by PayPal  (Grrrrrrrrrr . . .), I can’t get the job done for the simple reason that I can’t get my hard-earned bucks to them, as much as I’d like to do so.  I can’t remember the last time I was so eager to pay someone!

Why do these things always happen to me?

You know, I think that I’ve figured something out. There are things that you do online that are famous for being so easy. I think that that is because most people only have to push a button or two, fill in a couple of lines of text, choose a password, and click! It’s done.

That’s if you fit the pattern. If there’s anything wrong with you, then you simply can’t do it. Forget it. Kaput. Mi no save Engles. (That’s what I’d say to street peddlers in Vietnam. I’d start talking Tok Pisin to them and they’d start looking around for easier prey.)

Okay, I feel much better now. Thanks for letting me unload.

To soothe my inflamed id, I will unload some pretty sunsets on you today.

This one reminds me of orange soda:

This is sunset near some island out north of the coast somewhere. I’ve seen so many that I forget which ones are which:

I got this one out by New Ireland somewhere:

The canoe was a lucky break. There was nothing for miles around. I have no idea where the guy was going.

I do remember this place because it is so unusual. It’s Garove Island. It is a huge volcano that blew out the side as Mt. St. Helens did. It left a giant horseshoe shape with a very deep crater in the middle:

Here’s another one that I don’t remember:

I really must start making some notes.
