And speaking of that, I think I'm getting a nasty head cold myself. Sammy just went into the "free clinic" at KSB today b/c he's been just choking and gagging on sinus matter and phlegm. I'm sipping on a nice hot cup of green tea as I type this. And the thing about the flashlight that I'd thought I'd sent U... Well, it never got sent! A couple of days ago Rachael brought it in here to me and said that somehow she'd overlooked it when she put the parcel together. So, no, U don't have it, I still do. Did U still need/want it? I never did find out from her if she'd sent all of the AAA batteries to U or not though. That'd be a shame b/c they're heavy, and to ship U those with no flashlight... Well, that's not very good! On another note, be careful with that hog manure. The best manure to use as fertilizer is cow manure, then horse manure, and the last one U'd want to use is hog manure. Chris G. says that if U use too much of it that it will "burn" your garden plot and nothing will grow there! And I think that's b/c they're not herbivore exclusive, they eat just about anything. U never know what U'r gonna get from the other end! Plus U want to really wash thoroughly after U handle that stuff... A good nail brush. Anyway, everything else sounds just great out there. It sounds like U're going to be staying at about the best place you could. It's almost as if U'd have picked it yourself. And it sounds like U'll be amongst "friendlies", which is a really good thing too. I only hope that U don't have to go through another diet shock b/c they might eat different stuff up there than they would in the more developed parts of the country. It's better to be up in the mountains when it rains too, just as long as U're not too close to tributaries that turn into raging rivers when it does, but it sounds like Ur learning Ur way around there pretty well already. And Ur language and bargaining skills seem to be getting dialed in a little better too... Just remember, "Everything's negotiable"! :) It's a shame about the group from Bolivia, b/c the people who'll be losing out on their services will be missing out on a lot, but it sounds like with as busy as U guys are out there U could use the reinforcements. So then, no talent wasted. Keep up the good work and U're gonna be a great asset there and make numerous new friends. That's about as good as it gets anywhere. Always strive for and seek out the positive in all situations. Have fun and thanks for keeping us so posted, this is truly wonderful.<BR/>Love,<BR/>Dad :)batteredbugshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17842057585828372053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313697077474148854.post-28019064260497431552008-10-06T19:11:00.000-04:002008-10-06T19:11:00.000-04:00Holy cow all that was in a week?
