The prices for gas must have changed last Thursday. Here is the price at a Shell station close to me. What is interesting is that this station is 2 cents cheaper per gallon than the Shell a block away. Normally they are the same. This price should be good until a week from this coming [...]

My intention was to take some photos of the Volcan and Cerra Punta areas today. However, cell phone failure caused me to have to cancel my planned trip until some future date.

I know I should feel blessed for all that I have.
Good friends, good health, and a love sweet and tender.
But when life, as it does, throws in something unplanned,
Sometimes I just forget to remember.

I always find something interesting at The Cooking Diva’s website. Of course I can count on new recipes, but every once in a while Melissa will toss in something different.

My last update on the tragedy in Las Lajas was on August 31. Below you will find Linda’s latest email on what has occurred since then. It appears that MOP continues to take the approach that they would rather study a snake forever, when the obvious conclusion is that the snake needs killed.

The interesting thing to me is that there isn’t that large a difference between gasoline and the diesel price.
