Come As You Are or That’ll Fix Her Wagon

Tripod’s trip to Planned Pethood was a great success. She’s puppy free and clean as a whistle. Dr. Nelson and everyone there are gentle, kind, thoughtful and thorough. Pod’s in the cone until next Tuesday and in high spirits as you can see.

Bored on the first of July

Back to work, blech. Would be much improved were we not sick with some meddlesome super virus that has layed us both out for over and under a week respectively. Also it is a hot mess here with typical July temps and an ocean that looks like the Bleeding Ganges of Doom. Very sad to […]

What You Get For…$50.00 Pesos

1 banana
1 cantaloupe
1 mamey
1 pineapple
2 mangoes
7 ciruelas (tiny plums)
8 limes
1 coco, bien fria, with straw
Everything but the sipping coconut came from the Progreso mercado. The Ciruelas pictured are sweet and amazing but others I sampled, with yellow skin, were more sour and hard. Mamey is an acquired taste, to mine like cream pie and Jergen’s […]

Why You Frontin’?

According to the Diaro de Yucatan we are experiencing our 36th Norte today. And while I do not want to complain that we are all “Brr” and “Pass the socks, Paw” it is, apparently a little unusual for there to be so many cold fronts in a season. It’s like extreme spring. Two days ago […]

Faces of Olivia: Portraits of a Street Dog

In our opinion, our dog is one of the finest specimens of a Mexican street dog you could ever find. She is loyal, smart, utterly breedless, and incredibly thankful to have a home. We dress her in bandannas, take her on walks, and laugh at her face. When she is soulful, we call her Olivia; […]

Hello Kangoo

Thanks for the loaner, Renault. There is nothing remotely silly about this car. This is just how we roll.
