Random thoughts from various days...

Tropical weather is so completely unpredictable that Yahoo's online weather forecast can't even keep up to the day. While yesterday was sun sun sun, and today's Yahoo forecast calls for cloud over the next few days, one can be drenched in under 10 seconds standing outside.

Yesterday was the first time in 2+ years for me to wear an Iron Ring. My sister brought my replacement after I had lost my original, and this one fits a little better -- perhaps because of the warmer weather. I think this ring bares a little more meaning here away from Canada than it did back home.

It's been a year since playing in any tournaments, so I have a feeling I'm going to lose my foosball ranking soon. See here. I've already been taken off all other charts. :( But I'm still on this list. Sigh... too bad I couldn't play more. I think I had potential. Even Moya was shocked by my ability to unleash from the back 2-bar. Oh well.

I saw a huge snail this morning, and it was unlike any other I had seen. It's body was some 3" - 4", and it had a spiral shell that spun into a cone (as opposed to the more rounded ones found on the backs of garden snails in Canada). At the fattest part of the shell, it was probably 2" in diameter. Any bigger and you would have wanted to pick it up to hear the sea... but you'd be disappointed because there'd be no sea... just snail slime dripping into your ear.

On my way home last night at 1am, I counted four dogs sleeping in the streets. It's kind of odd to see this, because in Canada we have laws obliging owners to keep their dogs on a leash. Hard to say whether these were strays or owned. You walk right past them, and they pay no mind to you. It was when I got closer to home that a dog on a leash scared the sh.t out of me barking, jumping, and growling. Thank god that dog was tied up.

My cousin had a baby girl today. Yay for me who gets to play with her and send her back to mommy for poopy clean-up.
