March 9, 2010 Tuesday

the day flew by

i worte emails to various people that i think will come thru for me in getting bikes  here before the mtn bike race on the 28th. i want all the boys to have good and fun bikes. i hope they win. need helmets as well and someone on bajanomad (thanks to Shari in Asuncion, i joined) suggested the segunda in ensenada. that is a very good suggestion !!

fossil

rex is tied up. he goes all around town now and is not hanging out on his own front porch .. sad ..., but we really want him to stay  put

very heavy - petrified wood

the situation in the states seem to be extremely dire. kim priebe wrote me that 2 of her friends are living in their cars. jeez. that is ridiculous.  ridiculously sad. shocking. sad. if she write back i want to see if we cant get some connections for jobs.  some companies are actually doing well. others are sinking.  i saw that trattoria acqua - a gorgeous italian restaurant i ate at many times - went bellyup and they were auctioning off the restarant ware. scary times my friends. scary times.

shells Jacinto collected
