This Jeep has been with both my younger brother and me for 11 years. We both love this car and maintain it well. The only problem with this Jeep is the A/C, however the heater is working fine.

一級棒的Bowmore Single Malt Scotch Whisky


Originally uploaded by ping ping.

上星期見到遠從英國來美國出差的大學學弟,這位五年多不見的好朋友來到舊金山,送我一瓶遠從蘇格蘭(Scotland)的Islay產的1989年Bowmore Single Malt Scotch Whisky(單一麥牙威士忌)。

心裡想Whisky味道不就是那樣大同小異。但開瓶一試之後,我只能用四個字形容:"驚為天人"! 不知這世界上竟然有這麼好喝的威士忌酒,真是不經一事,不長一智。還是要多跟有生活品味的朋友多交流,生活中才會常有不同的意外驚喜。

我喜歡純喝不加水與冰塊的Whisky,這瓶Bowmore單聞它的味道,就讓人嘴巴裡產生濃濃的香味,小試一口,從舌尖到喉嚨都會充滿著麥草原野的味道,甚至會有一點雪茄的煙味,若加上幾滴礦泉水,Bowmore會散發出一種清新的果香,讓你忍不住喝一口Bowmore就想要閉上眼睛用嗅覺去體驗讓酒香充滿腦神經的感覺。(Link: 品嘗Bowmore Single Malt的步驟與秘訣)

Bowmore這真是近幾年來我喝過最好喝的Whisky。

球到底有沒有差 - 談Nike One Black Ball的初體驗


球到底有沒有差 - 談Nike One Black Ball的初體驗

這純粹是個人心得,不是物理特性的討論。
剛開始打高爾夫球的時候,總是要帶一大堆最便宜的球上場,準備打不見了之後,馬上補上一顆。剛開始打球的時候,只要球在自己的球道上就很高興了,根本沒去想到球本身會有什麼差別。曾幾何時,苦練兩年後,現在常常一顆球打了五六場球,都快打爛了,竟然都還健在。覺得自己好像不太會掉球了之後,前一陣子就去買了一盒非常貴的Nike One Black Ball來上場打打看,看看球是不是真的有差別。

Nike One Black Ball一打快$35美金,平均一顆球快要$3美金。真是非常貴的球啊。雖然我還是不了解這球3 cores的設計到底是什麼?但我這一顆Nike One Black球經過我下場打了兩場球的實驗之後,真是讓人驚艷。用這顆球開球,我用平常的力氣與上桿幅度去打,距離扎扎實實的多了20-25碼左右,差別真是很大,球飛出去時又快又遠不說,落地後竟然還可以連滾帶爬跑得特別遠。讓我簡直不敢相信。貴的球果然是有差別的!科技果然可以幫助球技一些些。

但怪了,這球明明是白色的,為什麼叫做"Nike One Black"呢?
