Don’t crack your toes

November 2nd, 2007 No comments

My job requires me to travel a lot to vehicle collision repair centres, heavy equipment workshops and construction sites. There are high risks for my foot to get injured at these places therefore I need a pair of safety boots. Well, preferably a Steel Toe Boots for maximum protection.

I googled for steel toe boots and I found MetBoots.com have the most comprehensive inventory. Brands like Caterpillar, Dr. Martens to Wolverine for the traditional style steel toe boots. They also have Dickies, Nautilus and Converse for those of you who want to wear sneakers to your dangerous work place and yet feel safe. Seriously, I’ve never come accross sneakers with steel toe in this part of my world. That is why, sometimes we should shop online. What they have here is not just for the working environment. There’s even hiking shoes and sports shoes that come equipped with steel toe. Isn’t it nice? The price is seriously reasonable for your toes. Medical fees should there be an accident or a few dollars more? You do the math.

Shipping is FREE for every order. However, international customer like me is responsible for all duties and tariffs. There is also possible Customs agent fees. Eh, I better go check with the local customs office. Oh, by the way check your size accurately because for every returned shoes for the wrong size may cost you $10.00 or the freight charges whichever is greater. Go get your boots now.

Join Earl’s Lonely Heart Club

November 2nd, 2007 2 comments

Suddenly all these songs by Backstreet Boys became a personal anthem. Geez. Inspired by Earl Ku.
Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I cant be there where you are
Theres something missing in my heart

********************************************* 

Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine
Im leaving my life in your hands
People say Im crazy and that I am blind
Risking it all in a glance
How you got me blind is still a mystery
I cant get you out of my head
Dont care what is written in your history
As long as youre here with me

Chorus
I dont care who you are
Where youre from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who you are
Where youre from
Dont care what you did
As long as you love me
Every little thing that you have said and done
Feels like its deep within me
Doesnt really matter if youre on the run
It seems like were meant to be

Chorus
Bridge
Ive tried to hide it so that no one knows
But I guess it shows
When you look into my eyes
What you did and where youre coming from
I dont care, as long as you love me, baby.

RIP – Enola Gay’s pilot

November 2nd, 2007 No comments

CHICAGO, Nov 1 (Reuters) – Paul Tibbets, the pilot of the U.S. bomber that dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan on Aug. 6, 1945, died on Thursday at age 92, a newspaper reported.

Tibbets, who died at his home in Columbus, Ohio, had suffered strokes and was ill from heart failure, the Columbus Dispatch said in its online edition.

An experienced pilot who had flown some of the first bombing missions over Germany during World War Two, Tibbets was a 30-year-old colonel commanding the Enola Gay, a B-29 Superfortress bomber named for his mother.

After a six-hour flight to Japan, Tibbets’ crew dropped the bomb, code-named “Little Boy,” over Hiroshima at 8:15 a.m.

“If Dante had been with us on the plane, he would have been terrified,” Tibbets said later. “The city we had seen so clearly in the sunlight a few minutes before was now an ugly smudge. It had completely disappeared under this awful blanket of smoke and fire.”

The bomb instantly killed about 78,000 people. By the end of 1945, the number of dead had reached about 140,000 out of an estimated population of 350,000.

Three days later the United States dropped an atomic bomb nicknamed “Fat Man” on Nagasaki. Japan surrendered on Aug. 15, 1945, bringing World War Two to an end.

Tibbets said in interviews he did not regret the decision to drop the bomb.

He became a brigadier general before leaving the military in 1966. Later he was president of Executive Jet Aviation, a Columbus-based international air-taxi service, the newspaper said.
