What if you and your neighbors got together and planted the right kind of tree?

Some neighbors planted trees and plants down the camellón of Cinco de Mayo recently, part of an ongoing effort that the city was supposedly encouraging, but the city unceremoniously ripped up all their plants, same as they did with Plaza del Artista with trees and plants many of us had planted years ago. The current municipal administration has zero regard for trees or plants of any kind. They only want to continue spending as much of the public budget as possible on the mayor's cement. I can't imagine why such blatant corruption is tolerated.

Shaved her legs on long the way and the colored girls said de de de y de

I noticed all that grass in another photo. Adds a nice bit of colour. Hope it spreads.

Amazingly it survived the remodelación of Paseo del Pescador. If you look carefully, you'll see the stump in the sand of one of the small palm trees the city planted that didn't make it. About 4 of them died in that area. And one of the two they planted in Plaza del Artista has died for the second time. After they replanted it, it simply never took. I expect its crown to fall off any day. They need to plant a real SHADE TREE there, but that'll never happen with this stubborn city government who can't admit any mistakes.

The cat's still in the ceiling after that lightning crack!

I'd've jumped up into the ceiling beams, too, if I had any. Man, that just came right out of nowhere, and it sounded like it hit something close by.

Yeah, the cats were scarce in our neck of the woods, too. But their pointy-eared little heads popped up early this morning from their hidey holes, and all looks well.

The danzón dancers were having a wonderful time this Friday evening at Plaza del Artista when a huge crack of thunder came out of nowhere, and it began to sprinkle. Bummer. It rained briefly, but then everything returned to normal, except the dancers didn't return. Their music is some of our favorite.

Lots of tourists here with too little money to spend. Too many, though not all, Mexican tourists buy mostly inexpensive trinkets, if anything. Our best business continues coming from visiting foreigners. Thank you! I keep hoping we can target tourists who are better for our local economy, but sometimes I feel like I'm a lone voice howling into the wind. The government keeps betting on mass tourism, the kind that's ruining too many other destinations.

We really need to diversify our economy so as not to have to rely 100% on tourism.

We still have stormy weather in the forecast for this weekend, so keep an eye on the weather maps and the skies. This Friday was another day of picture-postcard-perfect weather, and the downtown beach was full of people enjoying themselves, some with their pets as they should be able to do.

I haven't seen any turtle tracks on the downtown beach since early July. Not good.
