R.I.P. Fujitsu LifeBook
Well, my laptop failed this morning. And not in the sort of confusing "It won't turn on" sort of way, but in more of a decisive "The entire screen has turned into strange geometric patterns and it makes cryptic system beeps" kind of way.
Don Simeon showed up a second time last night and messed with the circuits inside the bomba while it flashed and threw sparks at him. Then, having failed to fix it, he insisted on trying to fix the toilet in the absence of running water as if we could know whether or not it had actually been fixed.
At six last night, I got a phone call from Hilda. She came at seven to get me and take me to a hotel two blocks from Enlace, so at least I got a real shower and shave last night.

Hey Charlie,
Your Mom showed me your blog. Be sure to include me on your email list.
Love, Liz
Okay, Charlie, you are almost to your maximum bad karma for this excursion. Don't turn back now! After this, only goodness and light will come your way!!! Just pretend you are in 5th grade where showering is considered a complete waste of energy and time. (As is washing your clothes).
We miss you!
Hey, I know bombas! Sparks are good things! You know you have power! Just not while standing on a wet floor! Jerry
Mac Dazzle, I'm very sorry you're having such a hard time. I hope you're not too discouraged. Just remember that one day you'll have the opportunity to look back on this and laugh (feel free to punch me in the face in your head right now). I love you!
I cannot believe I have not been reading your blog! This is WAY awesome. I will put a link our blog over to yours. It sounds like you are having a very interesting time. The best thing I can think to say right now to give you encouragement to keep on going in this deal is to just let you know that I am writing this from cube-city with a cup of REALLY bad Folgers in front of me. Let me tell you--you are better off with a few water problems. I will try to get back her more often now to check in and comment.
