Praise be those carbon emissions - when it is 36 outside

Sunrise, that period of dark blue to pink  flavors of coloration of the sky  is a brief - far too brief time of the day.    It gets white hot pretty damned fast.

Ah, but what a time to get up - it is, after all, an hour earlier here than China, so I would be getting my ass into gear at the time of a late Summer Cambodian sunrise.

I got bored with the Yankee-White Sox game and left it around 8:45am, this morning, coming down to the lobby of the Quay to find that our breakfast at 10 crowd had already eaten and were going into a final, summary meeting with the Thai/Cambodian contingent, leaving me to fend for myself.

I had breakfast:  2 cups of coffee, tomato juice, fruit salad & yogurt; bor bor (or something like that), a Cambodian rice porrage.  This was my 9th cultural variation on a rice porrage theme I've had the pleasure to experience in life.

My preference:  Thai boiled rice with minced pork.

Will we find Cambodian purple jade, today??   Only time will tell.....
