We (especially kids) really have had a good time there last week, on our way back from apple picking at B J Reece Orchard. Amicola falls is on our way but we had no time this time. The hwy 52 is beautiful. The orchard is about 64 miles away from home but next time we may try another route, i.e. via Hwy 400 then Hwy 53 then Hwy 52.

台湾推广中文方面做了一些实实在在的工作，比如把动画用于中文教学，做得生动有趣，值得一提。以下四字摘自：

对万圣节我和JY都不怎么感冒。以前万圣节出去看热闹的居多，自己动手的很少。这次本来想故伎重演，打算和JY合计一起混过去算了，可是YY不干，天天盼着家里也有一盏属于自己的“杰克沃”南瓜灯。这不，今天在家上班，JY上午就张罗着去买南瓜，同时把刻南瓜的重任一股脑儿扔给我。
平生还真没刻过南瓜，以前虽有公司活动有这一项，可从来没用心，动刀的是别人，我都没打正眼看过。现在要我刻就刻吧，好在现在有因特网，先去谷歌探个究竟，好家伙，光有关刻南瓜的小电影就有好几十，这下心里有底儿了，就从研究第一个小电影开始吧，咱得相信谷歌。
等大女儿放学回来，作胸有成竹状。不过女儿还真是个好帮手。先让她看一遍那个小电影，以保证她知道我们下面每一步到底干吗。YY先用笔勾勒出要刻出的“瓜皮帽”的大小，再创作出南瓜鬼脸的狰狞面目—我实在不知道它是在狂笑不已，还是一脸的狰狞。
经过一番雕刻，手中平生第一个南瓜灯基本成型。列位看官给打打分，看能得分几何？
Check with all state and the rates are better. Need to check with my current insurance to match their rate. AllState also has better coverage.
We finally decided to use chemical tech of ga as their ratings in kudzu is so good. They agree to lower their annual inspection from $165 to $155, but initial treatment remains at $659. They’ll cover up to $1 million including structural damage.
Called AllState after work and they’ll provide home insurance for $496($437 if car insuranced with them at the same time).
Yesterday I slept at Total Sleep Diagnosis to do a sleep study. I was hooked up with lots of wires/electrodes and belts. During sleep, I was put into a pressured air tube. Main reason is to see if I have sleep apnea.
I drove to beaver ruin road and had my driver license renewed. It took about over an hour during lunch time. My suggestion is to bring your pen as pens are fixed to desks and you need to be in line to get a pen!
If you are a green card holder Georgia DOT have their own interpretations now, that is, your expiration date becomes your exam/renewal date, NOT your birth date any more, which in my opinion is not following the law.
First federal law says that you have the same rights as citizens only you cannot vote, that’s it. Georgia law says your expiration date can not exceed your authorized stay. Neither of them says GC holders will have exam date as their expiration date while citizens always default to birth date as their expiration date. What’s the big deal you ask?
1) This is your right;
2) You paid the fee which covers until your birthday(which WAS your expiration date) last time when you renewed it. You are now double paying the time between your current exam/renewal date and your birthday if DOT so interprets;
3) It is important to have your birthday as your expiration date so you can easily remember, just like tags. (I ma going to renew them too, I’ll see if I was treated differently again)
So I went to DDS web site and filed a report like this:
My new driver license was assigned an incorrect expiration date at your 2211 Beaver Ruin Road DSS center. My green card expires in 2018. According to the law, my new driver’s license should expire to the maximum of my stay authorized so it should be my birthday in 2013, but it was assigned to 9/17/2013. The expiration date becomes the exam date, which has been always my birthday. I talked to the examiner and she said non-citizens will default to exam date instead of birthday, which was not true according to the law.
Can you correct my expiration date to my birthday in 2013 and mail me a new driver license card with new expiration date at my home address? Please email to MYEMAIL AT MAILSERVER.com (email contact is preferred) and let me know. Thank you!
And here is the receipt from DDS website after I submitted the report:
