Critter tracks and human trash

An extraordinary number of critter tracks, unlike I’ve ever seen.

And unfortunately, something I have seen before: despite the outstanding trash collection here, someone thinks it’s a good idea to haul a bright orange plastic bag full of trash into the middle of nowhere.

I actually cleaned the car

Which I like to do twice a year, whether it needs it or not. This involved removing empty water bottles, which I left on a lawn chair.

Apparently the dog thought it his assignment to chew them up. Every. Single. One.

“Who, me?”

Let’s see, what should we name our taxi company?

Scorpion? Shark? Both sound cozy and inviting.

You know how people with expensive cars sometimes take two spaces so people’s doors won’t bang into them?

Welcome to Uruguay.
