Rico、Carcassonne和UNO等這幾種。為了激發每一位玩家的鬥志，牌友Ivy特別設計了一張戰績表計算每一位玩家總共贏了多少場次，這張戰績表還掛在我家的牆上，看著這張表讓我想起了當年的戰況以及那些牌友。(紙牌遊戲戰績表)Ivy，她說：「玩遊戲是紓解一週壓力的方法。」想贏，是她唯一的想法；然而，贏得博士學位的那年，她終於不再在乎戰績的輸贏，她說：「老闆其實對我也不賴」。Judith (小啾)

Park距離Gainesville西南方大約只有一個小時左右的車程，風景優美，如果來的季節對了，將可以觀察到數量頗多野生的Manatee在泉水中悠游自在。這個公園也是佛州眾多地下湧出泉所形成的公園之一，Suwannee river 流經公園的旁邊與泉水池交會，沿著泉水池有一條野生步道，值得一遊。(Manatee悠游泉水中，游泳的速度很慢，有著"水牛"的中文名字)Paynes Prairie

park和景點圍繞在公路的四周。開車在公路上很舒服，在喜歡的風景處，可以隨時停好車欣賞，公路旁有一些具有特色的小城鎮，住宿也不是問題。秋天，樹葉變色的季節也是旅遊的好時間。這次，趁著遊玩大煙山國家公園，我們也一併開上了這條公路，雖然是夏天，路上仍有一些野花的顏色，從公路上望向四周，頗有天蒼蒼野茫茫的空涼感，一座座數不盡的山脈，到底盡頭在哪裡？(日落時分的公路)(壯觀的山勢，直逼眼前，無線延伸)</summary><link

west拍照留念的地點，最南點有一個炸彈形狀的水泥建築標示(左圖)，寫著：「距離古巴只有90英哩」，我不知道有沒有人可以用肉眼看到過古巴島？至少我沒有，即使在晴空萬里的時候。US Highway 1從Key west一直延伸到2000英哩外北方的緬因州和加拿大相交的國界附近，所以里程編號0的地點自然有麼一點意義，或許這是個標準的「到此一遊」景點。 (右圖)去一個地方，我總是喜歡爬得高一點，可以看看都市的全貌，海明威家的對面就有一個燈塔，忘了多少錢的入場費，你可以爬上燈塔的頂層。從那裏看Key west很綠，在Mallory Dock停靠的Cruise因而很明顯。人說：「登泰山而小天下」，</summary><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml'

Mocha，甜度稍高，不過香味四溢，和Starbucks類似甜度的產品所以散發的低級糖漿味道大相逕庭。Seattle Best的餐點也是值得推薦的項目之一，熱食產品較Starbucks多一些且好吃許多， 價格不高配合咖啡卻是絕好的享受。  (第一家Starbucks)Starbucks。這家連鎖咖啡店不要說全美全世界都可以喝到他的產品，但西雅圖卻是其發源地，所以在Pike Place

NP，今天預定下榻Port Angeles，距離著名景點暴風脊 (hurricane ridge) 很近的一個大城鎮。I-5的車流比想像中的還要大，可能是直通溫哥華的關係吧，北上的路程沒有多少的里程數卻耗費我們不少的時間，終於到達坐渡輪的地方，因為前班渡輪剛走，我們等了一些時間排隊上船，看到後面的車陣排到看不見的遠方去，我看始懷疑那艘船可否吃得下去，不過這個想法很快的就消失了，上下兩層的甲板完全消化掉看不盡的車子。</summary><link rel='replies'

(太陽下山後的日落點)這個公園是一個「數大變是美」美學評價實踐的地方，猶他州特有的紅色岩塊在這裡成了看不盡數不清的細細長長形狀各異又異中求同的石柱群，印地安人叫它做Hoodoos。傍晚我們抵達後，就直接驅車前往Sunset Point欣賞美景，不過我們來的還是有點晚了，日落的光線在這片Hoodoos所演奏的交響樂曲已經接近尾聲。(忘記是那一點了，只覺得山彎的很美)  </summary><link

的策略，等到我們要回台灣的時候，應該還是會有搬不完的東西，這可不是台北搬到台中那樣的簡單。其實我們都怕了搬家，兩年前兩個房間整整清了一大卡車的東 西，當然是在所有的家具或送人或賣掉的狀況下，真搞不懂平常那些東西都藏在那裏去了。充滿東西在房子裡面需要金錢，而清空房子需要耐心與決心，隨著搬家底限的逼近人們的決心會越來越強，我們就親眼目睹這樣的事情好幾回，幾個好朋友在回台灣 的時候，因為我們家實在太過於空曠，於是陸陸續續送了一些家具、家電、用的，甚至吃的給我們，我們也樂於接受這樣的好意。直到最近一對夫妻回台灣後，我們 家的東西達到顛峰，緊接著我們也陸續把一些用不到的東西拿去捐掉或是就丟了。</summary><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml'

衝回家操傢伙，天色還亮不知道有無這個運氣將它照個相，還算有一點成績，就是左邊這個傢伙。今天的操課項目是視力測驗，圍著它轉個180度，哦! 厲害喔，知道要轉頭看我，依照這種距離裸視應該有2.0以上，還有警覺度夠高，緊盯陌生人，加分。老婆對於生物比較有學術研究的興趣，回到家做品種比對，又比對花紋又比對聲音的，經過反覆刪除後得到結論，它是Barred Owl，這種貓頭鷹會習慣在天黑之前出來吃東西，難怪我們可以在這種時間觀察到它的蹤影。</summary><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eliotchiang.blogspot.com/feeds/3150436797886681287/comments/default' title='Post

許多朋友都說我家前面的樹林讓他們覺得我們好像住在小木屋裡面。而在親眼見貓頭鷹的蹤跡後，我和老婆好像也開始發覺自己的家有那麼一點點自然的味道。的確從家的三面大窗戶往外看無論晴天或是下雨的日子，是讓人有點舒服的，三不五時看見不知名的鳥在樹梢或是草地上或跳或叫。有一天看見一隻大浣熊帶著兩隻小浣熊在晚上靜悄悄爬到樹上的棲身之處，那是在發現貓頭鷹之後不久的日子，我也開始愛護起小動物，深怕他們被吃了。因為老婆說貓頭鷹有地域性，會去自己常去的地方，我倆開始觀察起它們出沒的時間和地點，甚至已經可以大概定位出它出沒的樹枝，昨天傍晚雨天過後，我倆照例去觀察貓頭鷹，還看見它俯衝下草地吃它的早餐，且查覺不只一隻貓頭鷹出沒在樹林，因為聽見至少兩隻的叫聲，這一刻真是壤人興奮不已，雖然老婆還穿著她認為不可見人的小熊維尼的睡衣，不過我覺得這就叫做自然啊。來美國不久後就發現這邊的酒類產品很便宜，</summary><link

type='text'>搬進來這個家快有10個月了，以前就會聽見奇怪的叫聲，名媛都說那是貓頭鷹的叫聲，但是從來沒有人看見過，每當那個叫聲出現的時候，名媛都會說貓頭鷹來了，我總是會拿著望遠鏡在臥室的窗戶找了又找，窗外一片漆黑，哪看的見甚麼貓頭鷹？就這樣過了好幾個月，總是想像我家前面有貓頭鷹。有一天，我和名媛去體育館做完瑜珈回家，照例穿過家前面的樹林，忽然看見一隻大鳥從別人房子飛往林子裡面，名媛又說:[貓頭鷹]，我期盼這次是真的。我倆往貓頭鷹飛行的方向望去，就在遊戲區的溜滑梯上看見一隻十分可疑的貓頭鷹蹤跡，為了證明這個由來已久的謎，我們一人守著它，一人衝回家拿望眼鏡。我是不認得任何品種的貓頭鷹啦，但是透過望眼鏡看見那個會轉180度的貓頭，和一個唸森林時常跑野外的老婆的雙重確認後，我終於證明也期盼到了那個想像--[我家前面的這片樹林有貓頭鷹]。</summary><link
