I missed talking about a very important date though I was awarte of the anniversary when it happened. Ten days ago, on June 12, I celebrated my first year on Guam. And three days ago, June 19, was the first anniversary of this thread. Wow! Where does the time go?

It is raining. I realize that may not mean much to you but it has been raining and cloudy for the last two weeks! This weekend my red pickup decided it was time to die. Wakana drove me to work on Monday morning and I managed to forget my umbrella. She cannot get on the base so I had to walk in and later I had to walk out to meet her. It didn't rain in the afternoon. Actually there is no word for the amount of water that fell from the sky in the five minutes I walked from my building to her car. I might have been dryer if I had jumped into the ocean. But I have rented a car to get around in and now I have to wait for the repairs to the truck.
