I call this piece of coral The Pinnacle. I have been swimming out to check it out as long as I have lived here.

These are artificial reef balls. Shaped like a gumdrop. Not much seems to be growing on them though.
This is an audio post about my opinion of the US Economy, and it’s downturn.
This makes me sad. I wish I could un-do it.
Years ago, I was walking on the beach and I found a brand new looking, plastic mouse cage. It was about twice as big as your grade school milk carton, Clear plastic with a fluorescent pink lid with bars. I thought WTF? and picked up and took it home.
Later that day, I was getting some dirt for a plant from a pile of dirt at the apartment and found a baby black snake. He was the size of a worm. The cage was perfect for him.
I had him in the cage for an hour or so, and decided he deserved to be free, so I let him go back where I found him. The cage rotted in the sun and I ended up throwing it away.
Two or three or four years later, I found a big blacksnake under my welcome mat. I killed it.
After I killed it, it occurred to me, “Maybe that was the same baby snake I found years ago” And as soon as I thought it, I knew it was true.
And I immediately regretted killing that snake and I still wish I hadn’t killed that snake. Why did I find that snake and that cage on the same day? I feel I definitely strayed from my path either the day I found the snake, or the day I killed the snake. Or both.
I’m going to try to make some adjustments at work. My normal hours are 8:30 till 5. This sucks because of traffic. Even on the scooter, it’s stressful, all the traffic. Sitting still, me, riding around the lines of traffic.. You know, in the car, scooters pass all the time. On the scooter, you hardly ever see another scooter, because we keep moving. You see them going the other way, but you don’t pass them often and they don’t pass you. Here’s a two and a half minute video of me passing traffic on the way in. This is torture for me if I am in the car.

So, getting back on track, I am going to ask if I can work from 7:30 to 4. Yesterday I went in at 8 and the traffic was still pretty bad, and the boss had no problem letting me go at 4:30. He said if I want to adjust my regular working hours, just request in writing. So that’s what I’ll do. I was going to wait till I finish my probationary period, it two weeks, but my boss seemed pretty agreeable to it.
Last night it got really windy and cloudy. The wind is blowing hard from the north. But it’s not too cold. I still can’t find a decent source for Cayman Weather, but I think I’m going to drive the car today.
Still having problems with my spam protection, causing me to moderate each comment. The problem is there is an authorization code that I can’t make “stick” in my settings page. I keep changing it and it keeps switching back to the old one.
And that’s it. Have a good day!
I have a compulsion to put the name of the day of the week in every title. I’ve been noticing that lately.
Todays post is another video from lunchtime. Yesterdays lunch
They are Blue Tangs, and it’s quite a good sized school of them.

I feel like I’m getting sick. I have a fuzzy throat and stomach problems. I don’t wanna get sick, I don’t need to get sick.
Maybe it will go away.
One week from today will be The Wifes first wake up at home from Costa Rica!
Monday again. Ya know, I’ve noticed that it’s only the first five days after the weekend that are the hardest. Yever notice that?
Fridays birthday party was canceled
Saturday I went to the beach
Sunday, I intended to go diving or go to the beach but I was doing tasks around the house and before I knew it it was too late to go. After having my lawnmower stolen I etched my name in my kayaks and my wheelbarrow. And I fixed my kayak stand.
Also, I possibly smoked my last cigar. I was planning on quitting after I finished my collection, and I smoked the one I was saving for last. A 2009 torpedo that I had saved from a cigar dinner. Unavailable anywhere. It was alright, there were others in my collection that were better. I don’t really want to quit, I like cigars, but the wife wants me to, so there ya have it.
Udinese did good this week, holding their own against Roma. 1-1
I need a new lawnmower, and new pool filter pump and a new de-humidifier for my downstairs store room, so even though I’ve been trying to not spend any money this month to get ahead, I can see I’ll be trying to not spend any for the next two months at least.
I dread this week, I expect a lot of Bull Shit.
And finally, here’s a picture of Ditto the Monster Man, safe in his bed. 
It’s Friday. I;m getting ready to take The Wife to the airport so she can go to Costa Rica for TEN DAYS. According to my calculations, as you can see from the chart below, I’ll make it, but just barely.If my blog posts suddenly stop, send rescue crews armed with sandwiches and sodas
It’s Thursday, less that 24 hours till The Wife goes to Costa Rica. I sure do wish I was going. I can’t get off work.
I think this weekend I’ll cut all the grass with the weed whacker, since someone stole the mower, I have no choice. I could buy a new one, but would rather wait till payday, for budgetary reasons. Or maybe I’ll just let it go to jungle-ish conditions.
I have a technical problem with my blog. Apparently the anti spam software is not communicating with the master software somewhere else and as a result, I have to moderate the comments. Before it would just not post the spam, but now I have to moderate each one. I’ll look into it today if I get the chance.
That’s it for today, have a good day!! Tomorrow’s FRIDAY!!!
Here’s a 3 minute video of the rain Saturday. We were driving on the south side of the island, headed west. We hardly got any rain on the north west part of the island, where we live.[jwplayer mediaid=”9470″]
