we leave for Bay of LA in the morning

busy crazy day

the gas - which Linda was supposed to bring from punta abreojos never came.  she couldnt get the coop to give it to her without Nacho. He was busy running around and no one else wanted to bring it in their car.  So at 7, me and the garbage guys have a truck and no fuel. Have you ever sen me mad ??? Probably not and that is a good thing.

I went to the beach, found Nachoand waited til he was fre. WEnt tohe coop here, got diesel, went back tothe truck. No hose and the police are at the elementary school protecting the kids. So i drive like a maniac, he gives me the key with specific instructions to lock up well afterwards.  Go to police station (all this is maybe 3 blocks apart). open door. get hose. lock door. return key. leave for the day. 

we worked like dogs til the guys got called back by the garbage secretary. i am still having trouble with the sheriff who asked me not to give the guys moneny. I understood that he wanted me to pay them thru tho office. OK.  So, I have ben giving the money to the garbage lady. Well, the delegado wants to keep my money. NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT IN THIS LIFETIME.

So, the secretary, to not be in the middle - understandable - refuses to sign my receipt.  But she DID give the guys their money !!  So, I had them sign the receipt.  I am not a happy camper. The sheriff has been gone for 3 days now.  There are a million projects going on - he got some gvt moeny toclean and paint and he isnot even here to coordinate. I saw some people walking and not cleaning at all.  Waste of money .....

Cleaned with the guys and we did great. there were so many huge fridges and stoves and old things everywhere. pics to come later.

then they went to their regular job. then they went to help the other groups (I think).  It is a zoo out there. Corruption .... not on my watch.

I went to the office at the coop topay for this mornings deisel and give Nacho some money and Chuy says - Blanca, one of our best and richest suppliers of our motors is coming. Can he stay at your house Monday. srue. we are one and Linda can handle him.  Then he says - write this guya aletter and ask him for whatever you want. Well, we are Ok with cleaning money so I said Iwanted him to give porta potties - 6 and a palapa for the fishermen on the  beach.  The secretary wrote a letter which I will leave here with photos and a blurb on UNA BOCANA LIMPIA

Les wants more time with me - ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I feel really bad, we haven't spent more than 5 minutes together all day today, yesterday, the day before that ................it is the biggest downside to being involved on so many fronts.

Does anyone of you want to live in a remote paradise and help me out ???????????????????????????

signing off.  but first some pics of a coyote who was not afraid of us at all .....
