still doin what i love best


Well this is the tree we tried to save. Guess we didn´t do a good enough job. We tried but the parents and school officials decided that it was dangerous because limbs could fall and hurt somone. It was weird seeing someone concerned with safety because you don´t find that much here. Also the tree was in perfect health. So you accept the loss of the tree and then have fun cutting it down. The guy who runs the tree nursery was the one initially cutting this tree. But he was messing up the most important part of the cut. He was messin up the notch! so I took over and fixed it all up and the tree fell right where i wanted, In between two basket ball goals. It made me miss tree work and runnin chain saws. After watching him I realized at how much better i was at running my surgeon´s tool.
Well i went on another inspection the other day. It was quite interesting. It was very beautiful but that wasn´t what made it interesting. It was the drive there and back. So the inspection is about 100Km away. We bring two spare tires. Of course we blow both of them on the way there. So now we are in the middle of nowhere and we decide to keep going. So we do our thing on the inspection. Me, not really understanding what the hell we are actually doing. So then we stop at this town to try and find a gomeria, tire shop, and nobody is there so we keep going. Well you know what happened? Can you guess? Of course we blew another tire. Now comes the first time I have ever been pissed of in Bolivia. If you are stopped on the side of the road no one will stop and help you. Not even to say " well that sucks" and drive off. So miracuaously we walk to a clearing and after about 30 attempts my cell phone works out in the middle of nowhere. So then we sit and wait for 3 and half hours. Then everything is gravy and i get home at 11. So that was fun. Well everyone be good and sometimes be bad. Talk to ya´ll soon.Jonathan

Jonathan, it is so nice to see pictures now. Sounds like you had a fun day with the tires. It is hard to comprehend that you change tires so often. Jim and Betty were here this week end. We had a great time visiting with them. Bob's big 60 is in two weeks. That is fun trying to get all of that worked out. I'm sure it will be fun for him seeing everyone. Glad to see and hear from you. I love you, MOM

As much as you hate them, you might have to stop bashing cell phones so much. I'm glad to hear you are keeping your surgical skills honed, although it is bitter sweet. Right in between two basketball posts is very impressive. At least you had some company on your voyage in the forest and some beautiful scenery to enjoy while you waited for three and half hours -- "that really sucks"

100Km? Km? come on, man; some of us still live in the last industrial country to refuse to use the metric system. you like that: refuse to use (it rhymes and I enjoy that). Right now, somewhere Scott Baio is plowing a woman he doesn't love. Check out my myspace page to see my latest drink creation: snausage on the rocks (it's freakin delicious). you ever wonder what dogs think? I do. I like my vaporizer, it gets me skint. You should try climbing a mountain barefoot, or have you already. How come emus have two feet just like people, but they're not people? where does peanut butter come from? and who the hell does paul simon think he is...if chevy chase hadn't been in a video with him, he would be on celebrity boxing. try typing with your feet because it is fun. also, you should know i'm naked at the office right now; that's fun too. ever been bitten by a bear? i bet is hurts. a lot. like, more than a mosquito bite (even those massive bitches from oregon). next time you're home you should try eating live turtles. sea turtles. but not the ones from finding nemo; they were hippie stoners, so leave them alone you fascist. please don't litter or drink and drive or do drugs or buy any more ricky martin albums (these are all paths to the dark side, padawan). i like pretty girls. usually when i get up in the morning i use the bathroom because i need to. do you like to go to movies? what the hell is going on here?

So this married couple gets into a horrible car wreck and both go to the ER. Two weeks later the husband regains consciousness and begins his road to recovery. After he is able to rejoin society, the doctor calls him into his office for a serious conference. The doctor sits the man down and tells him, "Sir, the accident you were in was terrible. You're lucky to be alive, much less fully functional. However, your wife was not so lucky. In fact, she's become a total vegetable. For the rest of her life you'll have to feed her, bath her, wipe her after she goes, dress her, and clean up the house." The man is shocked and begins to break down. Upon seeing this, the doctor can no longer control his laughter; rolling on the floor laughing the doctor confesses, "I'm just kidding, she died weeks ago."
