Just another day of driving in Montevideo.

Unauthorized excavation
We returned from an afternoon in Punta del Este to find a new pile of sand (which, here, starts at a depth of 5 cm). I added the concrete top later to halt further work until proper permits were obtained.
The hole was surprisingly large, and the proud culprit was quick to demonstrate it. I thought he would start digging more. Instead, he disappeared underground before re-emerging.
The message seemed to be, See, human? This is how you get out of the heat.
And when you hunker down, no one can see you. Understand now, human?

A simple quiz
What one word connects these two photos?
Weirdest yet DTOTB
Lots of people enjoying the sun this afternoon, though one stretch a bit empty, obviously because of the Dead Thing On The Beach.
Which turns out to be a large, slightly bloated dog.
How did it die? Where did it come from?
No comment.
Well, other than to let you guess whose iPad that is, and who normally sits there….
Such a deal (to a person of a certain age)
200 pesos = USD 6.90 at present. Your choice, a Brother or Olivetti!
Quincho
For six years, I’ve walked past this house whose past-prime quincho roof has reminded me of a mangy dog. It’s finally getting groomed, to stretch a simile. It appears the back half is nearing completion, and the facing side is being torn off.
What’s the deal with quincho? Glad you asked. Denise (“day-NEE-say”) has answered your question exhaustively (and perhaps exhaustingly; we have different styles) here.
Where there’s smoke
I watered the yard today for the first time in a little while. I was surprised how dry everything was. I gave it all a good soaking.
Alas, the same can’t be said for the wooded areas east of here….
