Let's Share Some Laughs...

BECAUSE I often have to catch a pre-dawn bus to get to my job, I was concerned that I wasn't always visible to bus drivers in the darkness. So I attached a reflector to my lunch box and put on a jogger's vest that was bright orange and had small flashing lights.

The first morning I wore my new gear, the bus zoomed past but then stopped. I ran to catch up with it and, as I boarded, asked the driver, "Didn't you see me?"

"I saw you," he replied, "but I thought you were a road sign."

Cenote - A Mystery

Ever heard of Cenote?

They are deep underground water-filled-sinkholes that lies east of the major Chichén Itzá ruins, a dark underground world the Mayans called Cenoté. At present times, one goes to Cenote through a vertical hole with narrow stair steps (carved by the Mayans themselves) with slimy ledges that could plunge you deep over 20 feet below if you will not be careful. After you've crawled under some especially low hanging stalactites, a beautiful blue green pool of unknown depth stretches out before you.

Every once in a year a rare event happens, sometime in April you might experience a sight to behold! A piercing beam of light streams in from the ceiling and touches the tip of a massive stalagtite which hangs down just inches from touching the surface, illuminating the pool and the entire chamber.

There is a dark mystery to Cenoté. Mayan petroglyphs depict human sacrifices at these sites. What lies under this Cenoté is not known, no one has ever been able to reach it's depths.

Making Up for The Lost Time...

Seemed like I left my PC to the cat!

Left unattended for several months, I would not have been surprised if my PC had packed its belongings and left me... or maybe it would have transferred its affections to the cat. These past few months were very difficult indeed. With Nanay (our mother) getting sick, our lives were turned upside down.

Now I am trying to make up for the lost time...
