Aruba is known for its sunsets and last evening there was nice show:
That photo doesn’t really do it justice. There was more pink the high clouds and around the edges. Oh, well, will have to go out and get another shot. Still, not too shabby.
Another great one!
Snow Belly
As mentioned previously, I’m in the process of remodeling a bathroom at my shack in Aruba. Of course, tile is required to cover the walls. One of the supply houses where I purchased some tile has a house cat. They call her “Tiles.”
Tiles is not a very creative name but I give them credit for the effort. I renamed her “Snow Belly.” I mean, check out that fine white fur there. She’s doing a good job, taking out mice and other small creatures, all the while keeping herself in pretty form. You have to celebrate that. And remember, be kind to animals, it’s one of the keys that unlocks the gates of heaven.
Down to Four Walls
I apologize to my regular readers for not posting lately. Take a look at the photo below:
No, that’s not my prison cell in some forgotten corner of the world. Those are three of the four walls of a bathroom at my shack here in Aruba. With the help of a couple of talented fellows, I hammered off the old tile, removed the fixtures, took things back to the bare bones. Now it’s going to be a rebuilding process. Get the walls plumb and even. Re-install the electrical equipment. Set new pipes, valves, and facilities. Tile everything and paint a few spots, too. Another week or two of tough work lies ahead. That small space cooks in this Caribbean heat.
Ah, but in the end it’ll be worth it. This is the last MAJOR project here. Then there will be more time for reading, writing, and wandering about the island. As always, stay tuned for the after photos.

Axis of Awesome
I was sent this link by my cousin. This comedy band, Axis of Awesome does a fantastic presentation of 4 chord songs that will have you laughing and amazed. Check it out.
Fascinating, funny, and fabulous. Makes you wonder about all those pop hits, doesn’t it?
