Uruguay Natural (ANCAP)
Someone who stayed in Montevideo several years ago asked me about the horrific black cloud he saw every day over the city. I knew nothing of it, but learned it’s the product of the ANCAP refinery in the city. ANCAP is the scandal-ridden national oil company which, despite its monopoly on petroleum, alcohol, and Portland cement, and which, in response to crude oil prices dropping 60%, lowered prices at the pump by almost 3%, manages to “lose” money.
Ah yes, in the most progressive, least corrupt country in Latin America!

“Birch”
Benji, eleven months old and virtually full-grown at 22 kg* (48.4 pounds) met a new playmate today, Birch, a 53 kg (116.6 pounds) St. Bernard. Birch is all of six months old.
It was only a matter of time….
* He eventually reached 32 kg.
Look on my works, ye mighty
Only very tangentially related, but ran across this bit of awesomeness today (computer animation of destruction of Pompeii).

What’s wrong with this picture?
The answer lies in what is not there.
A bit further down the beach, another dead dog, half buried. Second one in six weeks. I hope this doesn’t become a trend.
Little — well, not so little — SpinkyFace was a little spooked by it.
A new beach tuoy
I spotted this a couple days ago:
And then yesterday:
Great fun for the kids, playing around a multi-ton floating spear!
