En un juego no apto para cardiacos, los Indios de mi pueblo derrotaron antenoche en entradas extras a los Criollos de Caguas 5 por 4. Los Indios de Mayaguez estan a ley de una victoria para entrar a la final. 

The Sea Was Angry That Day My Friends

Yesterday, several weather alerts were issued regarding rough large breaking waves, and dangerous swimming conditions for the west and north part of the island.

While the states are bracing for more feet of snow, and the California raging wildfires, we are dealing with dangerous swimming conditions in the island. Despite the bad forecast about the coastal hazards in effect, I ventured out to take a couple of pictures.

I dared to take a couple of images at one of my favorite spots in my old neighborhood. I've never taken pictures of the angry sea before.

While I stood there trying to capture the tall waves barreling against the swing hanging from the tree, this reminded me of the George Constanza Marine Biologist Seinfeld episode. It sounds funny now, but last night I was scared to death watching breaking waves of 9 to 10 feet. Enjoy the picture!

Family and Friends

 Last night, my niece joined us at the baseball park to watch the first playoff game. Even though our local team lost the game, we had a great time. What do people without family and friends do?

Los Indios de Mayaguez

El sabado 4 de enero del 2025 es el ultimo juego de la temporada regular de los Indios de mi pueblo. Mayaguez clasifica para la post-temporada en primer lugar. Arriba los Indios!

Fix - A - Flat

Happy New Year everyone! Two days before New Years eve, my Jeep Cherokee got a flat tire. I didn't even noticed the tire was flat until a mailman pointed out the problem.

To make things worse, the lug wrench to remove the lug nuts didn't match. I had to call a friend, and also ask a local bar owner to lend me his lug wrench. The lug nuts were so tight, that one of the bar customers brought a piece of pipe to finally loosen up the lug nuts to install the spare tire. 

The next day after I took the Jeep to get the tire replaced, (as shown in the top picture), nearly all of Puerto Rico was without power. Half of the island starts the New Year in the dark after massive power outage. What a way to start the New Year!
