                                        Nothing but sweet, sweet sunflowers. Tuesday, December 27, 2005. There's a new "The Greatest Thing On The Internets! Check out this amazingly cool website. Posted by John @ 10:08 AM. Also: I've added a link to Diane's protoblog. I'm sure she'll be making a big splash any day now. Posted by John @ 9:31 AM. Wednesday, December 21, 2005. So I'm stealing a game. No, I'm not downloading more pirated software! So here's where y'all come in. I can't possibly think of all these words on my own.

The Potato (nee Rocky) continued to flourish by the lake under Donna’s care. His hair grew in, he remained feral, he showed up every morning with his consortium of bitches* to grab breakfast off Donna, amble around insolently, and take off. Donna is infinitely more articulate than I am, and she was his primary caretaker.To quote her email about his passing “He was one great dog, wasn't he? I have so many other stori...

Alan got here a day after I did. He's become a good friend to me as has John, my other roommate. I don't know. But I do know it won't be Granada. And I need to figure it all out. I'm not convinced I know how to do that - figure it all out. Though with a little over three weeks remaining, it might be a good time to start worrying about it. I didn't go to La...

When we get off the panga Scott Smyth and Compana, an island elder, are there to meet us. Why should you remember Scott? 1) He started the whole Little Corn Island project last year - he was the impetus for this whole thing and put it all together. 3) He put this whole thing together again this year. In short the man is a damn saint. In all the time I've spent doing this in Nicaragua I ...

I'm finishing the serious blog entries and they should be up tonight and tomorrow. In the meantime, though, I present these photos from the Nicaraguan Department of Health's swine flu posters. I hope they paid the woman in the bandanna extra for doing a love scene. Now I will probably come down with swine flu as I have bad swine flu karma from being so damn snarky about it. Not a real blog entry.

                                        Nicaragua Redux: The Sarna Dog Chronicles. Saturday, April 26, 2008. The Minnow Cometh and A Few Words On Ramon And His Ass Grabbing. A few weeks back Donna got an email from a guy on the Corn Islands, on the east coast of Nicaragua. He was very interested in getting a spay/neuter blitz going out there as street dogs are a problem and no one is dealing with it. Super nice guy. Turns out he's from Colorado, too. But puppies are puppies and puppies, like elastic bands, stretch. First she liked Sherman&...

Just a quick heads up - there´s going to be a pretty gross picture later in this entry. Nothing bloody or graphic just disturbing. But a heads up anyway as I put the picture on my myspace and someone complained that they almost vomited. Toughen up kids, the world is a rough place. But it has a banana seat. And I adore it. A banana seat! And the bell works, too. Ding ding. There are times when animal welfare in this ...

That’s totally bondo.”. Or that I was sitting on a goddamn dog house with a talking bird pretending to be about to fly this thing and not actually about to get on it. Costena flies to a bunch of different places in Nicaragua, all of whom are selling tickets, none of whom seem to have any connection whatsoever to the other offices.

I mentioned before that there were going to be some entries out of order -stuff I started writing before I left for the islands that didn't make it up before the laptop bit it. Slowly but surely I'm dissecting the corpse of said laptop and picking out those pieces so there will be some backing-and-forthing, chronology wise*. Saturday morning I get up early. I don̵...
