As of today Zihuatanejo has registered a cumulative total of 1,039 confirmed cases of Covid-19, 72 of which resulted in fatalities, 854 who have recovered, and 51 of which are currently active.
Saw a few Covidiots without facemasks this morning, mostly fishermen, drunks and tourists. Hmmm...
Fifty-one years ago today I recall wishing I was at Woodstock. My buds and I almost hitchhiked there. Probably just as well we didn't. We were all under age and definitely trouble waiting to happen. But we certainly celebrated in proper fashion to share in the spirit. I believe that was the summer I started wearing a bow and arrows.
México will be giving its citizens free Covid-19 vaccine shots as soon as they can be safely produced. ¡Viva México!
Perfect weather continues, and it came with a nice light show this morning.

We have loved all the music you’ve been posting — including lots and lots of our favorites.
Carlos took the cake though. He is sacred here in SF. People don’t even brag about knowing him. If asked, “yeah we grew up together in the Mission” or “we used to hang together in the Mission”.
A very good young friend of ours played as a teenager with Carlos. Carlos invited Tito to go on the road with him. His mom said absolutely not until he finished high school. Recounting this years later, a rather sophisticated Mexican friend said “oh yeah, well what did he play?” “Timbales”. I answered. He never said another word.

Thanks for the cool anecdote, Cathy. 
Back when we were still novios, Lupita and I used to go to Doro's place on the Playa Principal at sunset where Tata's is. Doro kept what we know locally as a tejón (called a coatimundi in other places) back then that was extremely friendly and mischievous. Lupita and I would sip tequila, laugh at the passersby as they discovered the tejón, and romantiquear (somos muy cursis). Doro played a lot of good music, but Carlos is sacred here, and whenever this song was played Lupita and I would dance on the beach, lost in each other. It immediately became one of "our songs" (we have a few).
