| so winter is upon us. It was thirty four last night. i write that out because the i messed up the light socket here so i don't have any light in this room. and if i move my fingers off the keys, well, it'll be annoying.
we also have had some really great visits and b/c of these visiting have done a bit of traveling. Heather saw Potosi for the first time and we went to Tiwanaku. (not that those names really mean anything to you.) more on that later maybe.

| bitten twice in two daysIf i'm not around in a week you'll know why.
On wednesday timote bit me when i tried to pet him. He's the dog of our future landlady. He drew blood.
Then today with the same landlady we went to see the house. The current renters dog bit me as i left. (that one i didn't provoke.)
I'm not too worried b/c they go through el alto every year and vaccinate all the dogs.

| a couple of thingsfirst off, i'm a lame blogger. I'm busy but also busy playing mafia wars on facebook. Invite me to be in your mafia. Lame, i know.
Also that advert is also lame on my part. I didn't know what 500 credits were.
Finally, I'm rather frustrated with the place we live. I mean the countries kinda slowly falling apart. It's sad because I was trying my luck as a socialist. Not really working out. Sorta just more chaos. I'm not just saying that b/c my visa (and heather's also) is a mess. They don't want us, i guess. Maybe that's the rub, not being wanted. But a nice lady at church said they did want us. I realize this sounds kinda jr. high. I'm regressing, digressing.

| Let me tell you how comfortable 52F at 0930 inside is...
I can't say much about this generally but today I'm rather comfortable in a rugby shirt and hat. Two cups of french pressed but rather old coffee coursing through my veins probably helps but i can't complain. Its sunny with heavy clouds over the mountains a hours drive away so it may be cool later.
Later today, when my "work" tasks are done I'm planning on pulling out hte engineering books (i lugged 2 down here) and trying to model a solar panel. Nerdy, yes. But that 52F air temp also translates to 52F water temp so that really, really cold for say dishes, washing my face (if i did that), showering (we do have a widow maker but starting temp affects volume of comfortable water), etc. There are really expensive ready-made solar panels on sale in the city from an Australian outfit but I want to see how poorly a homemade panel would compare. Basically a cost benefit sort of thing.
thats all.
