Each month, residents have the opportunity to explore the culture of different countries through the “Passport Program.” February’s focus is China. Chow mein refers to stir-fried noodles with little soup that are characterized by a salty taste. The name is from the Taishan Chinese dialect (a kind of Cantonese). There are many varieties of chow mein all over the world. It is a famous Chinese cuisine.

too busy with living to worry about potential disasters. I watch the news accounts of the aftermath of hurricanes and tornadoes, floods and fires and mudslides. My heart goes out those who have lost so much. Those who tell the survivors that at least they have their lives and that “stuff” can be replaced are missing the point. A lot of “stuff” can’t be replaced. All that’s left are memories. In a way, though, I’m no different. Most of what I’ve had is gone. Only memories remain. For some, the “world we know” vanishes in a moment. For others, it is more gradual. We never stay in one place, and that seems the way of it. All my Best, Jim

I’ve been following the news more lately. The false alarm about an ICBM headed for Hawaii gave me much to think about. I remember the time of duck-and-cover drills in school, civil defense and fall-out shelters. On his weekend drives, my dad would take us by the constructions sites of the Nike missile defenses around Philadelphia. I don’t doubt that many were deeply concerned about nuclear war, but I don’t recall anyone I knew then who dwelt on it. We just went on, dealing as best we could with what life gave to us. Looking back on that time, it’s clear that the strategy of MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction) works well. Somehow we made it through. It’s hard to imagine how anyone could win an all-out nuclear exchange, and enough recognized that to keep it from happening. And as Jan wrote in a recent letter, “Someone said the other day that she’s scared because trump and Little Rocket Man (Kim Jong Un) have red buttons on their desks. I hastened to tell her that he can’t just push a button and go nuclear. There’s a whole host of men with launch codes. Bottom line is I think that God would not allow two idiots to blow up his world. I’m sure he has better plans for us.” That’s exactly my sense of it. The dooms-day clock was recently moved 3 0seconds closer to midnight, but I don’t think it will reach the end. There’s an ancient Chinese curse, “May you live in interesting times.” We’re certainly doing that. Technology is bringing such rapid changes, and who knowns where it will lead. Just that it will be somewhere.” We’re still faced with nuclear weapons from rogue states and maybe terrorists. As in the false alarm in Hawaii. Early warnings don’t do much than start a panic. There’s no high ground, no safe place to reach in the short time given. It might be better to go on with our lives until disaster strikes. That’s what we do anyways. In California, scientists tell us the “Big One: is inevitable, but most of us don’t dwell on the chances of an earthquake. And that’s how it should be. We’re

"Lodi" is a song written by John Fogerty and performed by Creedence Clearwater Revival. The song describes the plight of a down-and-out musician whose career has landed him playing gigs in the town of Lodi, a small agricultural city in California's Central Valley about 70 miles from Fogerty's hometown of Berkeley. After playing in local bars, the narrator finds himself stranded and unable to leave. Fogerty later said he had never actually visited Lodi before writing this song, and simply picked it for the song because it had "the coolest sounding name." The song's chorus, "Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again," has been the theme of several city events in Lodi. –Wikipedia
