I would like it back

I lent out a book a long time back and would like to get it back. It's titled something like Island Frontier or possibly China's Island Frontier, edited by Ronald Knapp. It's a hardback and contains a series of essays on the geographical-historical development of Taiwan.

The Taichung government is providing a Chinese language learning booklet called, Taichung, My New Home to people in the foreign spouse language class, whatever that is. It includes a CD that has pictures - whoopee! and sound bites - hot damn! Since the site offers no information about these classes would somebody get off their ass and inquire for me?

Want to look at the traffic in Taichung? Probably not. But if you do, go here and you can watch real time video from traffic cameras around the city. Don't forget to click on the orange camera icon. See if you can tell what "Motion Detected" means when it pops up occasionally.

*Link fixed (sorta) - Go here and click on the URL to the left of the map.

NO. Rye that is pretty harsh. I am cutting you off from my stash of microbrew that Kevlar and me have been drinking in secret. We drink it while sitting on his ladder wearing J-hole's cowboy hat.
