Yesterday was pretty hot and quiet. I worked on photos for a bit then finished the Condor series.

Around 11am we left to go for groceries in Tulua. Aram hitched a ride so he could drop off a malfunctioning recording machine to the doctor regarding Liliana's muscle problems. The doctor tried to pretend he was not there as his receptionist was on a personal call to her boyfriend.

I popped in at David's to recover my memory stick because he had downloaded several movies that I have wanted for years, like Mary, Queen of Scotts (1972 version), Chaplin, A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum, Firestarter, The Carpetbaggers, Cat Ballou, Good Will Hunting, Cast a Giant Shadow, and Cat On A Hot Tin Roof. Beside the first 2 seasons of The Sopranos I should not be short of good viewing.

Grocery hunting at LA14 was really bad as the shelves get weak for selection. I could not get any large size oil or vinegar and the tomato selection was pitiful. I will have to go hunting for some things locally, but...

It is so damned hot!! 33.3C = 92F in the bloody house, same as outside. I am going to pray for rain again and dance naked in the backyard if I have to. It really is no fun being hot and sticky all the time. Napping under a fan is about the only solution in the afternoon.
Update:

My rain dance worked.................

I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.

Yesterday it was hot and I just stayed indoors again. I loaded Season 1 of Condor and watched the whole thing on the dumb Smart TV. It sure takes a lot to cool down the house. The effectiveness of fans during the day is just to cool the body(ies) down because they are basically useless to cool the house. And this will only get worse as the sun makes its way southward again.

I took Cristina to Adiela's before 8am, telling her I would be back around 11:30am. Then I went to David's to watch Formula 1 from England and then MotoGP from the Czech Republic.

There were no crashes to speak of in Formula 1 but there was a lot of drama due to tire strategies. Max Verstappen ran a brilliant race and held off the Mercedes duo of Hamilton and Bottas. My guy, Charles LeClerc, was lucky to come in 4th.

MotoGP was really exciting as 2 Frenchmen, Zarco and Quatrararo were 1-2 at the pole. Zarco was lucky to finish 3rd and Quatrararo a horrible 7th. Tires again being the deciding factors. The not-so-surprising victor was Brad Binder of South Africa who has now won in all 3 Moto classes and he will only get better. In 2nd place was Morbidelli. Missing again due to his broken arm being reset was my guy Marc Marquez. Our friend Irma from capetown is super excited about Binder's win.

So I went to get Cristina at 11:35 and they were not at the house, they were at Zoonosis. She said she sent me a message but Movistart has been sporadic again so I didn't get the word that she wanted to stay until 6pm because they were washing puppies for adoption. I said Fine, but take a taxi home.

I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
