[dba-Tech] Retired at last

In other wards you are not retiring. ;-) 

Some state that real retirement is when you remain face-down in the carpet
or on the floor or boulevard, for an extended amount of time.

I know Vancouver's Chinatown inisie out. I dtistingusih between the green
and the red doors. I know this neighborhood intimately.And I can also speak
basic Mandarin and Cantonese (not yet expert in either, but trying, and
also working on Hakka. That is very difficult. But that is all I have left
to do with my life.
