That explains it

Since the neighbors turned the front of their house into a (very nice btw) minimercado, the trash “dumpster” closest to them fills up very quickly with packaging and cardboard.

      Now there’s another reason.

      Dead Things On The Beach (DTOTB)

      OK, presumed dead. I let it be.

      Pigeon

      Day 1: a thoroughly and inexplicably dead pigeon appears on the dog walk.

      Day 2: the entire neighborhood has found out.

      Something big about to happen

      Almost half a block — five building lots — of trees has been completely leveled.

      This promises to be interesting.

      Nice “exchange rate”

      Some discussion on a Spacebook Uruguay expats group about transferring money. Someone suggested xe.com, and yes, this certainly looks like an attractive proposition!

      Alas….

      The fine art of vectoring

      Bandido demonstrates once again that you don’t have to be big to disrupt traffic.

      Funny little car

      Well maintained or restored. I drive by this car every day on the road it’s facing, but never saw it until I took this side road as a shortcut.

      And there are others as well, awaiting their TLC.

      A new sighting of Bun Bun

      You may recall something I posted four months ago.

      I don’t walk around the neighborhood often, but hadn’t see him in a while, but there he is, and again happily I spotted him first, and put Mocha on the leash to walk by. The rabbit only moved to lie down where he was sitting, and Mocha had absolutely no inkling that he was there.

      Well, that explains it

      It might be that he difficulty we sometimes have with the drawers of our mini-freezer has to do with the fact that the plastic foam shock absorbers for shipping were never removed.

      But hey, it hasn’t even been two years….
