      They don’t have their own rickshaw, everything’s imported and it’s a US protectorate so you’ve had all they have to offer at one point or another in US restaurants :(. My image of a tropical paradise culinary adventure was dashed early on as well. They import most of the fish in the restaurants due to a Pacific Island twist of irony caused by lack of a tourism driven restaurant seafood industry. Add to that I ordered a Hawaiian pizza one night for dinner and it was a pizza with canned pineapple and cubed Spam chunks (They LOVE Spam). The Pork Adobo, on the other hand, was da bomb!

      Rob, you’re such a punk ;)

      Thanks for your insight RAH

      My optimism has waned. Back to the regularly scheduled trying to save the world….(I wish “they” wouldn’t always make it so friggin’ hard…and “they” are everywhere…same bad guys just different names)

      projectalice – aka the wildwoman – sends her greetings :)

      You don’t have to worry about her, she’s cut from rough cloth, she just cleans up good ;)

      They are melting down faster and faster. The drug lords have swept in and taken over. Honduras is pretty much coming off the rails and I don’t think anyone can stop it. There will be —-MORE—- blood :(

      One of the papers said there was a 60%+ drop in homicides since relampago started but no one in their right mind believes that stat.

      Though I was cautiously optimistic, it looks like it may be splitting the opposition is what will rule the day. I was hoping it was a move toward easing hostilities on all sides. Time will tell, too early to know for sure, but it looks like the KNLA still may be in the SPDC crosshairs. Plus ceasefires have a tendency to not hold anyway, so once again, time will tell.

      Good stuff, and greetings back at you Jefe.

      I have been thinking that I need to get back to my roots and hang out here more often.

      From my own attempts in dealing with Dr Dave in trying to get a specific project happening, I simply find that a lot of NGO types that we have had dealings with (and I am generalising) are in a constant ego-driven pissing contest. It seems to be all about them getting a pat on the back and not about actually helping folks.

      Rob I think it is primarily just because we are among those pesky “outsiders” what do we know? ;)

      The ego-driven pissing contest gets very annoying when one is trying to make a difference.

      Jefe, you know better than to tell projectalice something like that. She saw it ;)

      Rob if you use The Force I bet you could make it.

      Text from my gal out of Townsville “I’m alive” I’m betting she’s actually never been MORE alive.

      A teenage daughter of one our friends from Hondo is in Townsville. She’s hanging in there for the moment, I’m sure facebook will have plenty of pics as soon as she gets the chance to put them up. It’s a bruiser of a storm though, that’s for sure.

      She ordered two hives’ worth and the bees come in a box (20,000 per box) in the mail. The two queens come in a small box with a candy plug that the workers will eat away and crown her their leader. The hive has a queen excluder that the workers fit through and she doesn’t. It in essence creates a queen bee prison. As long as she’s in the hive, the rest of the bees do their thing and stick around. Once the hive is up and running on it’s own, you can haul the whole thing in a hive transport (they do that over here en masse with semi-trucks that haul bees to almond and fruit orchards so that the crop can be pollinated).

      But the bottom line for me is that I DON’T and WON’T be moving any hive once it has bees in it. I’ll build the racks for the hives and once the bees are there, it’s their house for as long as they want it!!!!
