Do I dare ask how Danny knows so much abut Avon products? 



;) 

Ok, ok, I cannot tell a lie. I dated a girl once that sold Avon on the side. She'd test the products out and I'd yell and complain she smelt terrible and I'd rather her go out and sweat for 3 hours in the heat over wearing some of that stuff!
 
One day, after coming home from being on my boat, I was all welted up and she says "Skin So Soft will repel those things!" I smelled it, and it didn't smell bad at all...and made my skin as soft as a new born baby. That scared me a little, but hey, if it stops those Green Heads from beating me up, I'm all for it! :)
 
I came to find out there were other "repel" type things this stuff did as far as insects go. It was also good at night when the skeeters came out. Better than smelling like "Off" or burning those Citrinella (or however you spell that) candles that smell so bad. Honest that's the truth! :)

Ok ...thanks for explaining Danny. I am much more relaxed now!! LOL. ;) 


Don't scare us like that anymore! 

To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal, light up the stage, and wax a chump like a candle...

Aloe vera is great for insect bites and sunburn, it may also prevent ants biting you. Though it won't be as effective as Skin So Soft Bug Guard.

If you are dealing with ant's nests you need to recruit 11 year old boys as they will come up the most sadistic and inventive ways of wiping them out.

Like, OMG, how totally not Taoist!!

Try chocolate. 

Melt it and dip the ants in it.... I hear they are quite tasty this way. 
You get to eat them, not the other way around. 

I make it sound bad, what with the ants and all, but it's been a great vacation. Swimming in warm water, white-sand beaches, fresh papayas and mangos picked right off the tree. And we've lucked out on the weather so far, no rain and not too hot. I get up around 2 or 3 AM, when it's still in the low 70's, and wait for the pandesal man to come around. He sells still-warm little bread rolls that are great with coffee.

As soon as I started to write this, it began to rain. Not drizzly rain like back in Seattle, but torrents, like in Florida. The temperature dropped 10 degrees and I had to run out and stand in the rain for awhile, much to the amusement of the others. They already think the "Kano" is a little nuts to begin with.

Last night we left the radio on until a little later in the evening, and to my surprise and delight the music format abruptly changed from all-Kenny-Rogers to prog rock! Mostly Filipino bands, playing very tasty stuff indeed, interspersed with a few 70's classics.

I'd already known there was a healthy prog community here, but this has to be the only place on earth where it's still played on the radio. I'd go see some live if I was in the city, but we're waaay out in the country here, on a small island that even most Filipinos couldn't find on a map.

Later today we'll go into town to the market. Woo hoo! Chinese bootleg movie DVDs, 19 for $3. All on one disk! Some of them are in Chinese, though, so you take your chances.

You could always go old school on them … do you have a magnifying glass with you?

Yesterday I provided some entertainment for the neighborhood as I got a haircut in the driveway. I hadn't cut my hair in two years so it was pretty long. And too damn hot for the tropics. I should have taken pictures, it was comical getting a haircut with an audience. I did save my ponytail, not sure why but it should be interesting explaining what it is to Customs.

I kind of know what you're going through. I once went to Jamaica in July. I thought I knew what uncomfortable felt like, I was wrong. Scorching hot and sunny all day, followed by a thunderstorm late in the afternoon and a rainbow for sunset. Tropical flowers outside the front door.

And on the other side there was eating lunch while the dinner entree's walked in and out of the cantina, pecking at the floor. And lets not forget the nightly fight matches. You bet on either the big spider or the little lizard. Who would survive. No AC, and people offering to buy your foreign currency at attractive rates. Rum $8, Pepsi $26.

Strange little bits of paradise and quite the land of contrasts. I just can't do the tropics anymore. You need to be in shape to do well in the tropics.

Have yourself a great vacation, the memories last a lifetime.

So the ants like lobster then?
