what makes you laugh ...

I saw the sun come up this morning.  First time for over 30 days, mas o menos !  Could that
possibly be a sign of better, drier days to come .... sooner than later ?  We are all ready...
If  it, ( it pertaining to everything; clothes, sheets, pillow, towels, books, furniture, roof, yard, ... etc.)  has not, molded,disintegrated, been eaten, become infested, caved in, washed out, rusted, and etc. well it'll probably make through another season !
  I didn't make out too bad this year. It seems to really hit a climax just at the first of the month, after a wet July and August, by September the dampness begins to permeate,
and there isn't much one can do, except buy a clothes dryer !!
I'm learning all the time. I thought since I was here I could leave the books out of plastic, and just do random checks, wrong.  Everything back in plastic now, with my favorites long packed away in the bodega. An artist's paint brush works well to paint diesel in the cracks of a bookcase ! Don't let any material that is too damp get dirty, that's where the mold starts to set in ....
Another new adventure was Lily, the cat that lives here , trying to pee.  Pouring driving rain, and she was in a state .  I dragged a flower pot as close to the door as possible, drained as much mud and water out of it as I could, set up the big sun umbrella over it, and tossed her in ... it worked, but we both got soaked anyway ... me more than her !  One other particularly bad morning, dark as can be, and the boys and Silencio are out bailing the boats, and in comes Vallarta Adventures, business as usual, almost .   We have been short on fish lately,
no fish at Pollo Bollo last week, first time I can remember, sometimes no ribs or chicken, but fish ??  The tuna is coming back, Mimi is making some for lunch today, and Julian gave Me little red snapper, ( no head please ) and it was scrumptious .... helped my stomach recover.
I also discovered a little magic drink ... the pronunciation is ... Yah - Cohl ... I don't know what's in it, but it began working right away, like an antacid.  Drink one once a week say the
elders, they cost 6 pesos .... more plastic garbage, but worth it . I will post a picture of one, and many of you will recognize it. All's well at the river I believe, but you're wet to high thigh
to cross.  There'll be people swimming today, the water is so warm, it's too funny.
I may have posted the following poem earlier on my blog, but i thought it deserves a repeat,
under the circumstances ....goodbye September ... hello gorgeous ...
very best regards one and all ...
