Ranting day. . .


The Mexican repair shop
Most Americans would be amazed at how and where Mexicans here repair their cars. I have seen multiple instances of cars being left in the middle of the road (no hazard markers or anything) and the owner returns to work on it in the middle of the road. One I witnessed was a huge 18 wheel semi truck that did this and pulled off his whole front wheel assembly. Most recently, (Today) there was a truck in the road to the side of our shop that was left there since last night sitting on a jack stand. Who knows when the owner will return to fix it. Amazing!!!

On a happier note I went to our house just now and it only needs to have water, electricity, windows and outside paint done and we can move in. HOORAY!!!!!

Oh and they tell me the humpback whales should be returning VERY soon. We hope to go and see them in the bay. You can take boats out to see them there. They only approach them to a certain point because they can jump almost all the way out of the water. Pretty cool to see a 40 ton creature do that. Unless you are in a rowboat beneath him. LOL!!!!
