I've got to hurry.

I've got to hurry. Ellyn has gone ahead to Maria's for pinchos. I was out for an hour ride and jumped in the shower to clean up before dinner. I'll walk up with Taylor in a second. We enjoy the Friday evening meal of pinchos (think shishkabob) and papas fritas (think french fries). It's the social event at the end of the week for the gringos.

I really didn't have any IT work to do today so I worked for Ron. I peeled off and re-applied door seals to three doors on the Ford van. My hands are sore from scraping and rubbing all the old adhesive off. I also helped him use contact cement to get some formica onto a counter top.

As I was riding back toward Shell I could see a lot of haze. Not sure what it was from. Made me think of our MAF program over in Indonesia. On the island of Kalimantan they haven't been able to fly for three months. The visibility has been poor because people are burning fields for agriculture. That's a lot of smoke, and it's not a healthy way to live either.
