Off to the PI for a while and this time to a real rural area; way North on Luzon to Cagayan Province. Kind of like the Amish there in that they prefer the old ways. Electricity is there, but not many sign-ups . Horse drawn carriage for transportation and the caribou does all the rice field tending and produce hauling, etc. Rice, corn, Mellon and Tobacco are the principal agra items trucked to Manila. Seems a fitting place to delve into the Pres Bush book, but I'll have to do it by other than electric lighting. But that's real world and in many ways Pres. Bush had to come to grips with the real world. His predecessor is getting some real world education and finding out things aren't so nice out there and finding that the life whilst self-strapped across the real world third rail, it takes a lot more than tall talk and lofty rhetoric to become credible and not have everything run up the US behind by countries like Mexico, etc.
