KK is the tractor operator who managed to remove the snow in a just a couple of hours, it takes many many many hours to remove the snow by hand, as my back can attest. The green truck is mine.

Who should roll in, literally, but Fox News’ very own Charles Krauthammer. He’s got a couple of assistants with him. One, the body guard-ish apparent has the obligatory buzz haircut and black t-shirt.

How big? The diameter of the engine is only 10″ smaller than the fuselage of a 737.

The place I stayed at is a resort owned by wealthy pineapple barons of Ormoc. Hard to guess, eh?

Sunset over Ormoc Bay.

Still, it’s always disconcerting when they start the voyage with a prayer—photo with TV screen.

Worse of all on the way to Ormoc I had a dozen evangelical Texans with me. It’s one of those deals where you almost hope the boat sinks just to be rid of them.

I’m not sure if the ferry company charges extra for chickes/roosters or not.
