Real Time Weather And Tropical Information For The Costa Maya 

21 August 2002 - Starfish Trek Episode 8:

PB&J

Thank you all very much for the compliments on my web. It is a major undertaking and still a raw work in process. Maybe it is the full moon or something, but I have been driven as of recent to attempt to have it all completed and perfect (The Virgo that I am.) in short order denying myself of sleep until the wee hours in the morning. As a result, the quality has suffered and it is still quite buggy (Not at all unlike this place before we cleared most of the weeds from around the buildings.) Whacking weeds all day and web designing all night while drinking coffee and eating crème de cacahoate sandwiches with a generous helping of the truly magnificent Pedro A Santos Mormon honey, isn’t exactly doing wonders for my attention to detail or the cleanliness of my English keyboard (As opposed to the Mexican ones that you have to hit Alt 64 just to get an @ to send an e-mail.) So, please pardon any blunders for the time being. I will strive to do much better. I have also only been using Dreamweaver and Fireworks since 15 August 2002 after abandoning Microsloth’s FrontPage 2002 as my web creation software. So I am still in the learning process. I still haven’t figured out the mechanics of their frames in the GUI interface. I am lazy and really do not care to write HTML code for the whole web. Coming soon to the web; watch for a button titled “Stories.” I have decided to put my “Starfish Trek” stories there rather than sending the mass e-mails to all of my friends and then answering tons of e-mails requesting me to resend the undelivered episodes because I was dumb enough to number them. I do hope ya’ll enjoy them as much as I enjoy writing them.

I’ll try to write a Report from South of Town tomorrow. I have learned a lot in the past few days. For example; I now know how to send the chiquistas running away without buying a thing or using any poison at all. I also learned the medicina for their bites. I’ll tell you later.

Live long and perspire.

A Special Note: While the following links are the best I have found, they are commercial sites outside my domain. Some do put spyware on your computer. It is how they are paid for what they do. As a rule, it is generally harmless but, those who are concerned should do a scan after visiting. Search for AdAware from Lavasoft on the internet, it is free.
