Baby She's Hot Out There

We haven't been doing much of anything lately. It is hot outside. To put it mildly; although it really is just normal weather for this time of year. The heat index yesterday was 115 F.; although it was that on Tuesday when I went to spanish class it felt worse yesterday for some reason. I was going to go and do some shopping and decided I just didn't feel like it.
Below are the current conditions here from MSN.

The landlords oldest son came up the other night with his new puppy, it is a Rottweiler and as all puppies are, he is really cute.

Señor Roy Is a Senior Now

Roy turned 60 yrs. old in July, so this morning we went downtown to the office of DIF and asked what we needed for documents for him to get his INAPAM (Instituto Nacional de las Personas Adultas Mayores) card, (called the INSEN card also). This card is used to get discounts for certain things here in Mexico, such as city bus fares, highway bus fares, airplane flights, etc.. Website here: http://www.inapam.gob.mx/index/index.php
The lady told us that we needed 1 copy of the picture/ID page from his passport and 1 copy of the same page from his FM3 booklet. He didn't need a copy of his birth certificate as she said that the date is on his passport. He also needed 2 photos, size "infantile". We went to a photo shop and got the photos done. The package of photos consisted on 4 "infantile" size photos and 1- 4x6 photo. We only asked for the 2 "infantile" sizes; but maybe that is their standard deal, who knows. Cost 80 pesos, less than $8.00. We also got the 2 photocopies made, not sure what they cost as I also bought a notebook at the same time; but it was not much.
We returned to the DIF office with our stuff and the lady proceeded to type out the required form, she had Roy sign the form and then she typed up the information on the card. He had to sign this also and affix his thumbprint to the back of it. Information included on the card: name, address, birth date, and an emergency contact and phone number.
We thanked the lady and asked her where we could get it laminated, she told us and we went on our way.
We headed to the place to get it laminated and in 10 minutes or so and after paying 4.50 pesos, less than 45 cents we were done.
Cost = less than $10.00 total, no actual cost for the card.
Time = less than 1 1/2 hrs.
We took the bus home, Roy used his new card for the first time and paid 3 pesos for the bus instead of 5 pesos.
So I guess he is officially a senior now. Sheesh I am living with an old man lol.

Rain

Last night it began thundering loudly and woke me up at around 1:30 AM. I got up and after unplugging all the electronics, went outside to watch the lightning show. It rained nicely and really cooled things off. Felt really good. After watching for awhile I went back to bed, Roy never stirred throughout the whole noisy storm.
This afternoon there are more clouds and they are forecasting thunderstorms again. Most of the time when they are forecast we get nothing; but who knows.
I thought this flat top cloud was kind of interesting.

Below is the newest animal being fed here. He/she has been coming up and sleeping in the shade for awhile now. It also drinks from the water basin that we have out for the birds and animals to use. Today I broke down and gave him some food. He didn't eat much and he is very skinny, so I am not sure if he is sick or just not hungry at the moment. I guess we will see. It reminds me of a cat my older brother used to have years ago. It was a motley colored thing also and he named it affectionately, "Barf". The cat didn't seem to care. Anyway we will see if he continues to stick around or not.
