Dig deep enough

And you'll reach China. I kinda sorta believed that when I was a little kid. Now I know it's true.

On my way to work yesterday, I noticed a semi on the frontage road. Two words on the trailer, plainly Chinese names. I thought I'd remember them for 10 minutes so I could learn more about the firm but the names escaped. Is there a Chinese trucking company operating in the Midwest?

This morning I learned that a student I had long ago is now the global CTO for Huawei Technologies. A Chinese firm that is consumer-centric. A handy suffix, centric.

Congratulations, Matt! (Let's hope that I noted on his report card that he was a self-starter.)
