Too Easy

Too Easy

The new paper that I got is full of shrubbery of some kind.  Just tracing the inclusions makes a great little composition.

Despite being in a city, we’re also in a jungle.

I’m pretty sure this says ‘Floor and Ouch’. Not the best marketing for shoes that I’ve ever encountered.

Juicer





Baffling machine.  I like ours better.

We took the bus.  Just getting to the bus was an adventure.  Check out this knife sharpener dude.  Could that wheel be more out-of-true?  I'm bringing my pocket-knife to him tomorrow.

Bus ride home.  I had sand stuck in places that I didn’t know I even had places.

Viaje a Mexico

Cab to SFO

IMG_6716

Someone must alert the captain! There’s too much fuel in this craft. Screw the paperwork! It’s either that, or we’re all going to Newark.  Is that what you want?

Arriving in Mexico always makes me happy.

I liked this odd antenna-like thing that we saw on our ride into town from the airport.

And here’s a pelican at sunset.

And agua mineral.

This guy was fishing everywhere the pelican’s weren’t.  They were diving into the water all around him, coming up with fish. Didn’t see him pull anything out of the ocean.
