Wakana and I took a walk this morning to get a better feel for the neighborhood... and to get some exercise. We wandered down San Nicolas Lane. There are some lovely homes in there. Lots of mango and coconut trees. And lots of dogs faithfully, and loudly, guarding their homes. When you walk here you have to be careful to carry a stick of some sort to protect yourself. I carried my cane. I needed it for myself by the time we started back. This damned knee...

We have been judicious in our use of electricity. Our bill this month was under $200. Unfortunately they tacked on a "fuel surcharge" of almost $400! Grumble, grumble, gripe, gripe.
