Theacclimatization must be getting to me when I find 22-23C quite cool, and 26C as comfortable.

The computer was acting weird this morning and had me worried. However, after a re-start it started acting normal again.

We got out fairly early to the vet John Rojas with Cafe again. She started bleeding again yesterday. We got there and the vet was in surgery. After 45 minutes of nothing, and at least another person ahead of us, I went to pay my health insurance and then to pick up 10 lbs of livers (higados) at Olympica. I got back just in time.

Cafe had received more injections for her ailments and we have to bring her back in 10 days again to see if she will require surgery for a prolapsed vagina. Poor girl, it never stops...

When we got back home I went through the music on my car's memory stick again. There were still some duplicates and a couple of songs that weren't complete. Easy to eliminate those.

Then I had a devil of a time to get at my cel phone bill. Then, all of a sudden, I seemed to figure it out.... This old brain is worrying me. I need more sleep.

Then after a nap I got at my password list, updating and refining, and deleting a lot of old useless connections. The list is a must though. At times I have to refer to it often.

Then in the late afternoon the new adopters of Samantha and Bruna came here, walking. Since the weather was closing in, we piled the 4 of them, the 2 of us, the 2 dogs, a stroller and a dog bed. The rain started in earnest as I backed out of the house. By the time that we got to their home on the north end of town we had a real deluge happening. Even though I parked within 2 feet of their overhang,we all got soaked in the few seconds that it took to go to their door.

We got home and I was just setting up the fans to cool off the house and Cristina complained that the wind was cold. The thermometer read 27C. Then I saw Aram across the street trying to stay under the awnings on his way hme with a loaf of bread. I called to him and lent him my umbrella again.

Anyway, we are thrilled to have found homes for 4 dogs in the last two days.

We still have the colourful Grigi with us and she is never far away from me, sleeping in my lap at the moment.

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

Happy CANADA DAY everyone.

After advising my sister to switch website providers I thought that I should do the same to the unwieldy Tripod site that I have had for years. So I spent most of the morning, after chores, switching my Personal site over to Neocities.org as well. The new (old) website is https://albourassa.neocities.org/ This website was started a very long time ago and been updated annually if it was lucky. One look at the Tripod site and I could see that it needed a ton of updates. Some of the information in the source html was really dated. I got all 4 pages switched over but then was having fun with the links between pages, and a couple of other issues. Every time I updated something I would notice another thing I had missed.

I got a request from David to meet for lunch so we made an appointment for 1pm. Cristina then decided that we had to rush in earlier with the mama Grigi and her 2 pups because all 3 might get adopted. We get to Adiela's place and they decide the dogs need a wash. I napped on the divan. At 12:45 I went alone to meet David at La Herradura where we had a nice hour-long chat. I ordered a lasagna dish, which was excellent, and a Coke for $4.25.

Then I went back to Adiela's and one couple was there inspecting one of the pups and did in fact take it home. After a bit we headed out with Grigi and the last pup to another couple that also was happy to accept these well-behaved furballs. Sadly nobody offered to take mama Grigi as well.

Grigi is such a lovable dog and I fear that she will show real separation anxiety at the loss of her puppies. She has been a very attentive Mommy up to now.

So now we have 11 dogs in the house but 2, Samantha and Bruna, are to go with their adoptive parents tomorrow.

So, after a pitstop at the cemetery I got brave and tackled the website issues again. I think I have everything nailed for now, knock on wood. That website was started probably around 2006....

Around suppertime (salad time) a ton of acrid smoke blanketed the whole town. It didn't have the usual sweet smell of a sugar cane fire. About 1.5 hours later and it is still lingering a bit. People with respiratory problems would have struggled mightily with this stench. It was enough to drive people out of town.

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