重返阿拉斯加史凱格衛鎮2025/莊峻華
重返阿拉斯加史凱格衛鎮2025/莊峻華
上週船靠史凱格衛港,因下雨不便下船,只得在船上賞鯨,其實僅短暫片刻,
今日船返史凱格衛,也是陰雨綿綿,我決定下船到海岸公園廁所旁使用免費
電腦網路作文,記載這次旅行. 小巴士司機詢問史凱格衛有何好玩處?我侃
侃而談,先是加拿大邊界行,下杜威湖健行,走私者角,還有史凱格衛鎮也
很有趣.
加拿大邊界行有兩種方法,一是搭火車,一是搭小旅行車,都是沿著史凱格
衛河谷逆行,前者費用較高,我是搭乘小旅行車幾次,沿途甚是驚險,但極
美觀壯麗,火車行正好在河谷對面,這是舊日北國尋金記中的一段典故,當
今美國總統的父親在此開旅舍發機,賺來其川普家第一桶金.
我們曾在下杜威湖健行多次,這是小鎮之水源地,雖不甚驚險,但對年邁如
我者,已不甚適合,而且今日有毛毛雨,摔倒則甚不值. 這下杜威湖不若上
杜威湖驚險,但一般遊客已忽略不去,幾處角落,可以眺望近處高山峰冰洲,
甚是美觀.
走私者角是新建鐵橋,在小鎮機場和直昇機場旁,跨過史凱格衛河,若過橋
右轉,則往小鎮墓地,左轉較普遍是往走私者角方向,是史凱格衛河入海處,
這兩週是春初,高山融雪未化,所以河面尚枯,沒有秋後之疾川. 走私角是
過去走私者逗留處,面對海峽海面,這一段有落石徑,需要小心應付.
史凱格衛是舊日尋金小鎮,近日變成郵輪觀光盛地,有美國西部開發風格,
小鎮上有西部酒吧,也有住家,許多人夏日來小鎮工作,秋後離去,留下衣
物傢具等,很多古物廉價小店.
重返胡娜村2025/莊峻華
重返胡娜村2025/莊峻華
今晨船抵阿拉斯加胡娜村,胡娜是原住民語,冰海峽點是英語,
上週我們下午五點始抵達,我未下船,因為我一般在此下船,均
行軍到胡娜村,此村有特色,碼頭高樹端有一美洲白頭鷹,胡娜
村也有一對白頭禿鷹,約是一妻多夫,偶聞爭執,幾年前村民告
知有小鷹出生.通常我從碼頭上舊罐頭工廠走出,沿海岸行軍到
胡娜村,經過海峽輪渡碼頭,繼續行軍,沿途有廁所,一切方便.
一般旅客是搭巴士到胡娜村,我覺路程不遠,故未計算里數,小
村也有一系列中小學校,若大學則需要到外地求學,州政府許可
原住民獵鯨魚,一年有一定數目,獵鯨已成歷史記憶,連魚罐事
業都示微,阿拉斯加僅靠風景和觀光事業.
我仍在候天晴,準備行軍到胡娜村,拜望那隻村頭鷹友.

重返阿拉斯加凱其坎鎮/莊峻華
郵輪抵達阿拉斯加凱其坎鎮,我在碼頭上購物中心寫作文,
記載這次阿拉斯加行,我從加拿大溫歌華港出發,途經西
摩爾內海一日夜後,抵達首站凱其坎鎮,這是我無數次郵
輪旅遊阿拉斯加海岸,這次的終站是惠特納港,其實是起
站,我是因為來回溫哥華較方便,故選擇在溫哥華上船,
船程大概都相同,州府珠諾市,大冰洲海灣,另外一大冰
洲海灣,史凱格衛鎮,還有一直冰印地安部落,然後就是
終站,若在終站下船,需要搭巴士到安克路治機場,約兩
小時,很不方便.
我因搭乘此家郵輪公司很多次,所以許多熟識,一切都甚
親切,無論是船上工作職員,抑或是同行乘客,像是回到
家裏一般. 馬上找到了一位晚餐夥伴,我邀請他兩餐,他
邀請我兩餐,每天都吃大餐,時光飛馳.
再談川普的關稅戰/莊峻華
再談川普的關稅戰/莊峻華
國際間的關稅,不是件好事,現在大家都在詳細的討論著,
川普認為中國廠商必需吞下肚,但美國的消費者是付錢者,
道理很明顯,但是今日,5/4/25的紐約時報有專欄報導曰,
美國增加廉價的中國產品,將迫使美國的高價高科技產品,
幾十億的中國關稅,真是得不償失,這真是乍看之下,川普
般讀書混混輩,實在搞不清楚,剛才說他搞不清楚增加的關
稅,到底是誰在支付?他又是美國的總統,又最喜歡發行政
命令,增加關稅.
如果說增加的關稅,如中國的廉價產品,賣到美國,美國消
費者購買的高價中國物品,其負擔是美國消費者,這是大家
討厭的通貨膨脹,大家講起來都受不了,都責怪川普. 中國
報付川普,也增加了美美的高科計產品,一般都是昂貴的產
品,購買的中國消費者,當然要負擔這昂貴的高科計產品,
美國廠商沒有損失,有可能滯銷,失去客戶而已,不是嗎?
所以說,增加關稅不是好事,很多成功商人都如此說,一般
說來美國的錢賺得容易,美國已經很是偉大,川普不要再危
言聳聽,製造天下大亂.

Going to Cruise tomorrow/Carlos Pueblo
Going to Cruise tomorrow/Carlos Pueblo
I am going to Cruise tomorrow for two weeks in Alaska. It's a purchase
last year before Trump was elected. I was worry when the stock market was
crushed. However, I have no other choice but go ahead.
明日出發郵輪旅遊/莊峻華
明日出發郵輪旅遊/莊峻華
明日出發郵輪旅遊,這是去年底就訂好之船票機票,如果去年知道川普會當選,
我就不敢訂下這麽多的郵輪旅遊,這次我將在阿拉斯加逗留兩週.特此通知我的
全球讀者知音.
A week after the Great Stock Crashed . /Carlos Pueblo
A week after the Great Stock Crashed./Carlos Pueblo
The first 100 day of the second Donald Trump's second U.S. Presidency is the
Second Great Stock Crashed after the 1929. It's predicated that the U.S. is
centering a recession if not in the second Depression; however, I see a little
bit of up tick on the market for a week after the crash. I do check on my
portfolio every night and I notice the significance of movement that my lost is
eliminated by more than a half and I am more of a released in my stressful mind.
Obviously the FDR's rescue policies after the Great Depression such as the 1935
Security Law Act., the Social Security Benefits, and the FDIC are all put into
good use this time.
As I carefully evaluate the crashes and my security holdings, I realize that I
do own certain portion of the U.S. Companies. We may have the worst President
yet I don't believe my savings of the diversified investments are all running
by the idiot like Donald Trump! Plus, I have been unemployed for a long time
and I am old, Do I have another choice?After I cashed some holdings, I must
stay in the marketand wait for my next opportunity. Of course, I bet the U.S.
Economy is still very sounding and alive.
Social Security benefits and the FDIC are both insurance products as well as
President Johnson's Medicare. With these three coverages, I can't think that
anything else would bother me for the time being. I believe that most people
have the same conclusion and that is why the market stopping the crashing for
a week. We're expecting the U.S. Economy will lead the depressed World Economy
out of this trap from Trump.
I don't have to tell Trump and his MAGA supporters what I am thinking of, they
are not interested . I saw some years or more than one year that Clinton, Obama,
and Biden Administrations that the U.S. annual revenues are higher than expanses
and the Federal Government doesn't bother to pay back the piling National Debt.
I can't understand the reason why and can only think the homeconomics and the
national economic are very different to manage.
