再談中暑--Sunstroke

颱風要來不來的天氣熱到爆，工作中不時需要室內外走動，氣溫過高時，濕度較高時很容易中暑。像今天我到下午3點多時，沒半點風太陽當頭照，我還沒做完手邊的事就感覺到頭一直熱起來，一陣陣的頭痛我知道我又"熱"到了。事情一時做不完也沒時間找人幫我刮痧(能刮痧最好)，我倒了一大杯"熱"的酸梅湯(是熱的沒錯)，喝了半杯就感覺到身上的燥熱漸漸消失了，喝完那一杯頭痛也好了，這不是什麼神奇的事，只適用在剛剛熱到時，如果已經非常嚴重時，一定要刮痧，這是我的經驗談。不過這也不能喝太多會傷腎。a popular treatment for sunstroke by scraping the patient's neck, chest or back .

不知"恥"的一家人--Shame On Taiwan

這一家人"愛台灣"擺在嘴邊，"政治迫害"是標準的開場白，不知道還要拖多久才能不用拿我們納的稅去付他的退職禮遇。

颱風又要來了--Typhoon Come Again ?

今天上午天氣不錯，標準的好天氣有太陽有點風不會很熱，讓人有點想出外走走的念頭。只可惜昨天工作沒做完，今天必須做好，看著好天氣有點懊惱。

下午剛用完午餐天色轉暗，滿天烏雲變的悶熱的讓人難過，電風扇不停吹卻更熱讓人頭痛昏昏欲睡，吃了一大碗的冰砂只維持一會兒涼爽，然後開始下起大雷雨，轟隆隆雷聲伴著大雨天氣涼一點了，這時我覺得很慶幸沒出去。

黃昏時，雨還沒停只是稀稀落落下著，天色變的很詭異的暗橘色這是颱風前夕的天色，預告著颱風可能會來臨。氣象報告明天起3天氣溫會有36-37度，真正的夏天才要來臨。

中元節 -- Ghost Festival

七月半中元節，一早拜觀音然後是拜土地公中午前要拜祖先下午要普渡拜好兄弟，要準備的東西一大堆，難怪大賣場也大力促銷做折扣，買2千送2百。中元節的由來 。
Ghost Festival
Just as the West has Halloween for ghosts and ghouls, so also does Taiwan have a holiday to fete the departed spirits of the underworld : Ghost Festival, a popular occasion celebrated throughout China on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month. Historically, families offer sacrifices of the newly harvested grain to departed ancestors on this day, which also coincides with the Buddhist Ullambana (Deliverance) Festival and the Taoist Ghost Festival. Since each of these traditions in some way honors the spirits of the departed the seventh lunar month has come to be known as Ghost Month, celebrated as a time when the "Good Brethren," ghosts from the underworld, come back to earth to feast on the victuals offered by the living. Over time the Ullambana Festival and Ghost Festival have melded together to become the present day Chung Yuan Putu or "Mid-origin Passage to Universal Salvation.


In Taiwan, Ghost Festival is passed by slaughtering a pig and sheep, which together with a prodigious table of wine and meat is offered to one's ancestors and ghosts from the underworld. Numerous Putu festivities are also held at this time around the island, crowned by the grand Keelung Ghost Day Ceremony.

The Chinese believe that the dead become ghosts roaming between Heaven and earth. Spirits without descendants to care for them are prayed to during Ghost Festival so that they may also enjoy the warmth of life among the living. This custom, an extension of the traditional Chinese ethic of "universal love," has been woven together with the didactic legend "Mulien Saving His Mother From Hades," giving Ghost Festival positive significance as a time for remembering the importance of filial piety.
Today, Ghost Festival is more modest than in the past both in grandeur and scale as the government encourages more frugal forms of prayer in folk customs. This kind of economy is an apt realization of virtuous action that the Festival has always meant to foster.

節能省電做到了嗎？-- Saving Industry

現在什麼都漲的時代能從那裡省錢？衣、食、住、行？還是育、樂？這是一張這個月的電費單，電費雖然調漲，但省電 = 省錢，一切都列在單子上，八折耶！省了將近1000元。試試看冷氣調高2-3度，隨手關燈，你也做的到。

摘龍眼 -- Picking Longan

季節的變化有序，蔬果的產出也隨著季節步伐，現在農曆七月應該是龍眼盛產期，可是在賣場看到告示牌寫著"因為產地供應不及......"，沒有龍眼，今年中南部的颱風水災造成龍眼欠收，再下去柚子好像也是這樣。

我家的龍眼樹今年還好開花結果沒太大影響，這幾天準備採果了。我已經試吃過了，甜度蠻高的(每天走過樹下總有些落果只要沒破都是我的試吃品)。

還有一點龍眼樹今年結果明年就會休息一年要隔一年才會再結果。

樹上的？猜猜看？ Guess what is it on the tree ?

七夕情人節 -- Qi Xi Chinese Valentine's Day

又到七夕織女會牛郎的日子，中國情人節，天上的牛郎織女星要怎麼看呢？願天下有情人終成眷屬。
May all lovers become couples.
Qi Xi also known as Magpie Festival, falls on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month on the Chinese calendar; thus its name. It is sometimes called Chinese Valentine's Day in recent years.Young girls traditionally demonstrate their domestic arts, especially melon carving, on this day and make wishes for a good husband.The story of Cowherd and Weaver Girl--In late summer, the stars Altair and Vega are high in the night sky, and the Chinese tell the following love story, of which there are many variations:A young cowherd named Niulang (Chinese: 牛郎; pinyin: niú láng; literally "the cowherd", the star Altair) happens across seven fairy sisters bathing in a lake. Encouraged by his mischievous companion the ox, he steals their clothes and waits to see what will happen. The fairy sisters elect the youngest and most beautiful sister Zhinü (simplified Chinese: 织女; traditional Chinese: 織女; pinyin: zhī nǚ; literally "the weaver girl", the star Vega) to retrieve their clothing. She does so, but since Niulang has seen her naked, she must agree to his request for marriage. She proves to be a wonderful wife, and Niulang a good husband. They lived happily and had two children. But the Goddess of Heaven (in some versions Zhinü's mother) finds out that a mere mortal has married one of the fairy girls and is furious. (In another version, the Goddess forced the weaver fairy back to her former duty of weaving colorful clouds in the sky because she could not do her job while married to the mortal.) Down on Earth, Niulang is very upset learning that his wife is gone. Suddenly, his cow begins to talk telling him that if he kills him and puts on his hide, he will be able to go up to Heaven to find his wife. With tears flowing, he killed the cow, put on the skin and carrying his two children with him and off he went to the Heaven to find Zhinü. The Goddess found out he had come and was very angry. Taking out her hairpin, the Goddess scratches a wide river in the sky to separate the two lovers forever (thus forming the Milky Way, which separates Altair and Vega).Zhinü must sit forever on one side of the river, sadly weaving on her loom, while Niulang watches her from afar and takes care of their two children (his flanking stars β and γ Aquilae or by their Chinese names Hè Gu 1 and Hè Gu 3).But once a year all the magpies in the world take pity on them and fly up into heaven to form a bridge (鵲橋, "the bridge of magpies", Que Qiao) over the star Deneb in the Cygnus constellation so the lovers may be together for a single night, the seventh night of the seventh moon.It is said that if it rains on the night of Qi Xi, they are the tears of Niulang and Zhinü crying at the misery of their life.See also: The Princess and the CowherdAs an interesting note, Barry Hughart's fantasy tale "Bridge of Birds" is loosely based upon this celestial story, though the two figures are switched here. The girl is forced to remain on earth, and her male paramour in heaven. She is a peasant girl, and he shepherds the stars.(From Wikipedi Qi Xi)
