June 27

Coffee at Local. Mercy that's hot.
Under a palapa. Mary went walkies, met the ferryman.
Lunch at Rogelio again.  Chile relleno-ok. Mary won lunch by ordering grilled tuna.
"Yeah watching what happens on top of these hills is really interesting."
Let's run a tab.
Reading Gravitys Rainbow and really enjoying it.

Mexico June 24th

In the rooftop pool, fireworks in the Bay, waterjet on my backside. Trifecta. We had dinner at Senor Burros. I can't seem to attach the photos to this post. Too bad. Nope my mistake. There it is on a separate screen. Please enjoy these photographs. Uniball pens are very leaky on airplanes. Our room is ridiculous and swell. We're both pretty happy.

Count Zero

Things that I count:

• Count 6 while filling up kettle for coffee.
• Count 9 while filling work glass from water cooler. I do this with my back turned. Nope, don't need to look, I've never overflowed. This is my version of macho posturing.
• Shake off hands 12 times before drying them.
• Count 13 while re-setting modem.
• Count how many times I have to push the button before the garage door opens (usually 2).
• Same for the number of times I have to press "6" to get an outside phone line at the clinic.
• How many tries does it take before clothes dryer will accept my coins? Used to be 3, then it was a large indeterminate number, then I WD-40'd the mechanism, and now it's 1. I always wondered, what in the mechanism was counting to 3? I mean, 1 is simple, push it in and the coins drop. 2 is trivial -- first attempt aligns coins, then on the second, in they go. But 3? How did that work?

Things that I don't count:

• I have no idea how many times I have to pump to get my tires up to 80psi.
• Calories, points or carbs.
• I try to remember to count my blessings, but sometimes I forget.
