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!

The View From My Window Today

I went to visit a childhood friend who lives near the Anasco River, in a town that bears the same name, Anasco.

To get to my friends house, I have to cross over a bridge in a neighborhood called Boquilla. Every time rain fall over an extended period of time, the Boquilla and Anasco rivers merge and causes both rivers to overflood their banks.

It is a mystery to me why anyone choses to live near any river. As you know, this is a tropical island and flash floods are a common occurrence every time it rains. Don't get me wrong, it is a beautiful and peaceful paradise location. But I rather live far away from a big body of water, if you know what I mean.

This picture was taken yesterday afternoon from the top of the bridge.
