On Monday I left early for an appointment. I took local streets because it was rush hour, which in Seattle is a nightmare. As I was tooling innocently through the south end of town, a patrol car pulled me over. I obediently drove into [...]]]></description>

Right now I&#8217;m staying at Kiko&#8217;s house. She has graciously allowed me to stay here and is unfailingly polite and pleasant. Affectionate even, and we&#8217;ve just met.
However, sometimes it&#8217;s hard to communicate with Ms. Kiko. Here&#8217;s what she does when I call her.
BRRRRRR

This is the back of my car in the morning. March 7 2010

For those of you who aren&#8217;t familiar with the Bodies phenomen, it is a Chinese entertainment enterprise that&#8217;s basically a bunch of dead bodies [...]]]></description>

Judy and I turned into the north Seattle strip mall to have lunch at the Old Korean Village restaurant. Vegetables, rice noodles, fish, very healthy. We cruised around and parked &#8211; and then we saw it. Caspar&#8217;s. It was new, just opened last month. We immediately gave up our saintly food goals and wheeled around [...]]]></description>

Henequen represents slavery, rope, the conquest, heavy labor, and haciendas. It is, of course, the plant and fiber produced on most of the the huge haciendas of Yucatan. Henequen, a type of agave, is uniquely suited to northern Yucatan&#8217;s rocky, torrid terrain. It takes at least five years for a henequen plant to mature on [...]]]></description>
