Un Calor OpreZIHvo

Our neighbor's refrigerator has been running so hot that smoke was coming out of the top of their electric meter early this morning. Calling the CFE was a total waste of time, so they called an electrician who came and fixed the problem. One of the consequences of our heat wave.

The extreme heat returned this Wednesday, and it got up to 37°C today with high humidity and no breeze. "Stifling" is a word that comes to mind. This is NOT normal here even during La Canícula. STAY HYDRATED! And don't overdo it outdoors right now.

Another consequence of the extreme heat is that corn crops are dying for lack of rain along parts of the coast and in the sierra. Campesinos are rightly concerned, since this is an important crop for them, for all of us here.

The ayuntamiento de La Unión announced that all the municipal police detained yesterday by state police were released today except for one, though the state police retained all their firearms for analysis to see if they could match them to any crimes. The circus continues.

Our ocean temperature in Zihuatanejo has been measured at 33°C, and coral bleaching is being recorded just when the coral had been recovering from similar conditions a few years ago.

I hear Telcel's Ixtapa office has been a busy place since telephone numbers started getting turned off for people not registering their phones.

Neighbors we encounter at the pier during our strolls continue to express being appalled at la escena del crimen that our pier has become. A common comment is that it's an insult to us all. It blocks what used to be such a beautiful view. No one is forgetting the murder of the ecologist Alex Serna who reported on the irregularities of the work being done at the pier by the current municipal administration.

I can hear thunder this evening, and rain is predicted for tonight. This might be the one that breaks the fever, so to speak, and brings our temperatures back down to normal much more tolerable levels.

Enjoy your pozole this jueves pozolero.

Tucked away in a lovely gardened property less than a block from the beach at Playa La Ropa is another one of our hidden jewels with a French flair named Casa Iguana. Six luxurious bungalow suites with A/C, cable TV, Internet connection, kitchenettes, and garden terraces with living and dining areas. An absolutely perfect place for relaxing and losing track of time.
