S&H Green Stamps

Ah yes.... Cell phone envy, or as we would say out here in Euroland... Movil envy....

As the article states,
http://tech.msn.com/products/articlecnet.aspx?cp-documentid=4865914 you only have to be passing though for a short time and immediately see the difference. Hummm, and the USA is the land of competition? Darn those progressive European socialists! ;-)

I remember in the US calls always dropping... no reception in the subway... everyone paying for a call!!!! Here, if someone calls you, you don't pay for it. If someone text/sms you, you do not pay. If you receive a mms you do not pay.

I remember when I was first here in Spain.... Friday and Saturday nights the lines of the public payphones where humongous! Now, it seems the pay phones here might go the way of the US, as they seem to get little use these days.

Yes, my not quite so scientific research tells me... Spanish men wear pajamas!!!







Make of it what you will.

Why you should carry a flip-phone.

OMG, my poor poor friend. He’s a good man. Good intentions – con fidelidad. Divorced. Has his two almost teenage kids every weekend in his small artists studio (lucky mom, eh?). Damn good artist too. Hansom and mature. Still, he was having a relationship… about a year I think, but decided to take a chance and went out with this girl. They’d met before for drinks, and got along well. They decided, after not talking in awhile, to, as the teenagers used to say, “go all the way.” Somehow, in the passions of foreplay (or before???!), his phone was accidentally answered (or called) as the Levis hit the ground. His girlfriend heard everything! Well, everything until he heard her voice yelling at him!!!! Que pena. Really, I don’t condone cheating…. But, he’s such a nice guy, and torn up… obviously about his impending nightmare, but also about the girl in the lurch. She was cool – just felt so bad for him.

LA SIERRA DE AYLLÓN

La Tornera

1865 metros/6119 feet (1.15 miles)

----looking toward la Tornera---

This is also where we laid low along the wall of rocks waiting for the thunder, and possible lightening, to pass. Very meditative. So silent, we heard the swoosh of a hawk's wings passing overhead. Amazing.
There was not another sole on this moutain. (On the way out, we could only find our footprints + those of a cow.) We left our bags and metal walking sticks here without worry (although probably shouldn't have left cell phones and keys!!!)

A view from almost the top. We started on a straight-way, complete with a cool natural spring. Up a winding path, alternately littered with stones. The entire area, from start to finish was punctuated with wild flowers and lavender. This brought us to a beautiful mesa-meadow type area with high winds and foreboding thunder clouds. My favorite part was a rolling ridge - it looked like a cylinder. The hike to the top was straight up large stones of slate(?) graphite(?) jutting out of the land as a medieval defense wall. Everything was so prehistoric, I couldn't stop thinking of early man.
I wanted to give up, stay, wait for Pedro, but of course, he wouldn't have it. I found a softer more level route and was glad to have reached the top. Gorgeous.








Third peak to its right is Pico de Lobo (2.272 m / 7,454 ft), and next on the list.

I just feel fantastic today. So relaxed, so smooth......yet so calmly energetic. Bootie call?!?

Anyone else for a little ------------------------------------------------->>>>

Ok, I am getting used to it.

Oh shx&t....
If I thought that last hair cut/color was blond......
Oh boy.... there is no doubt this time. Ugh. But...
hey, "What the hey," I said. Go out on a limb, try
something new. Nothing to loose, everything to gain???

I'm not posting a picture now, as I am still coming to terms with it, but soon, very soon.

My LOST Theories

I don't think any of you watch this show....???

What did the finale of Season three leave us with?

http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/Through_the_Looking_Glass

It's Ben inside the casket, morons. New name or old name, Mr. xxxxnthame... who else would die alone, after such commotion (smoke monster's envoy???), in a building with a doorman at that (a little Widmore money?)! And his son, who did not attend the funeral? Karl. Yes, Karl. Perhaps Karl was born off the Island (Ben may have tried life on the outside), or some behavior of Ben's surrounding Karl's birth cause the birthing problems on the Island?

This also explains Jacks totally despondency. Ben was the last link, the last hope to the Island.

Christian Shepard IS DEAD.

Kate is not with Sawyer, although her baby is probably his. She may be married to someone else, and someone as brutal as her step-father if she's concerned that "he'll be wondering where I am?" Patterns baby, patterns.

Everyone else? Dead or on the Island.

Next season will continue to take place on the Island.

Oh yes. Richard. Definitely one of the original crew from the Black Rock. All of the survivors there have been adapting to the new technology as it appears on the Island. From the style of gun in his holster (they didn't have handguns back then), to the fancy gold watch he checks after the annihilation of the Village. Ben has been their tutor.

Richard does not blindly follow. I expect (and hope!) he will play a bigger part next season. On the Lost Answers show, Damon and Carlton sure talk alot about ol' Richard. Uh ha.

I think we will see Mikail again. He's also from the Black Rock. The glass eye was (past tense) his.

Jacob? Jacob is not the smoke monster, nor is he part of the Island, but was probably a man like Locke, who was so in tune with the Island, he became a de facto "god." Locke will be the new Jacob. Aaron would be next.

Charlie chose to die. Too bad Desmond wasn't able to read his own flashes correctly. I love you Des, but you're starting to get on my nerves. So morose. And sorry, I doubt you'll ever see Penny again. Still, I will curse the day you die, my hansom Scot. Desmond was the clincher for making me such a fan of the show.

More? Yes, there are underground tunnels on the island. How else would Ben and the Others be able to move so quickly.


Tons of Podcasts out there. Check out the cool dudes at http://www.ekobase.net/.
Jay and Jack are good, and the Black Rock Podcast. Don't listen to Generally Speaking one, unless you want to hear a very unstable, bitchy wife who takes everything as a personal attack.

Until next season... NAMESTE.

Not a lottery ticket....better! The first time I am truly residing legally in a country!! (yes yes, valid visas in Moldova and Serbia - no worry). And better yet, as my paper work and visa came so late, I am perfectly legal until mid-December. Plenty of time to gain a contract and remain on same type of visa in order to renew the card for another two years. Yes...silly or not, I'm proud. (get the actual card in 40 days)

Also, had some normal casual interaction with my fellow human beings. Sure, Nestor the Gestor, but another guy from Mexico working for BMW, and a few immigrants. The man from Peru seemed amazed I needed to go though the same process (guess he didn't see the lawyer who cuts the line time by about 3-4 hours!) I had a really hard time understanding his accent. The woman behind me, also from Peru, was named Jenny too- que raro, eh.
