Now, we are having the flashes again and are crossing our appendages in hopes the rain gods will smile on us tonight.

Life is very good.

Lightning could be seen on the southern horizon outside Zihuatanejo Bay last night, but it never rained, at least not downtown.

We awoke to a refreshing morning of around 25°C with a light breeze and overcast skies. It made our morning chores and stroll much more pleasant.

No tourists around. It wasn't even worth opening today for a lot of businesses. The only people we saw out'n'about this morning and this evening were locals, mostly neighbors.

The stores that sell school supplies are saying even their sales were slow. Further evidence that the cifras alegres proferred by municipal and state authorities are pure BS. We'd had to have something like 70 full plane flights and around 80 packed tour buses daily to come up with the numbers being reported. Totally absurd. But folks who don't think critically will swallow whatever they're fed and thank the so-called authorities for it.

Presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo gave her second annual Informe Presidencial de Gobierno this morning. An excellent and inspiring speech that stuck much closer to reality than anything our local politicians are offering. The country is doing well and things are getting better, but there's still a lot of corruption to root out. Of course, one of our festering problems is due to having a neighbor who bans popular substances used by over 70 million of its citizens, creating a multi-billion-dollar-a-year black market controlled by violent criminals who, in turn, obtain their firearms, money and power from the same neighbor. Maybe banning those substances isn't such a good idea after all unless the purpose is to legitimize multi-million dollar budgets for their police forces and to create chaos for us.

We didn't see the copulating sea turtles today, so hopefully they finally separated, and they both lived and went on their merry ways, albeit a bit sore in their tender places.

We're expecting more rain from the huge storm that's moving away from our coast, drawing lots of moisture up behind it from our direction. We really need the rain.
