Another First For Me In Guaymas

The other day I decided to give WalMart another try here.  I have been to their new store a couple of times and wasn't at all impressed, the prices are a lot higher than in the other grocery stores.  I had gotten a personal item there though and wanted to get another one while they were still around, so off I went.
When I got on a bus for Guaymas Norte my first impression was, wow, nice new bus.  Once I sat down I realized that all the windows were closed and cold air was blowing on me!!!!!  This nice new bus has air conditioning that works.  Wow!!!!  This was a first for me, not sure how long this bus has been around; but am thinking not long, as the driver was discussing it with one fellow and showing off the stereo, he was also driving very carefully.  Considering that careful driving is not really a city bus thing I am assuming he hadn't had this bus for long.  I am thinking that after he fills up with fuel a few times the air conditioning may be shut down.  Who knows.  Anyway it was a nice ride to the store, no squeaks, no squealing brakes, no grinding transmission, etc..  Luxury apparently comes with a price though as by the time I got off the bus I had an earache from the cold wind blowing on me, too funny.  On the way home I had my usual decrepit old school bus with all its attendant squeaks, squeals, rattles, etc. so felt more at home.  What a surprise that was.

In other news the landlords have another new grandchild born on Friday, mom and baby in good health and at home.  Other sons wife is expecting another baby also, so more to come.

We went and had a nice dinner out last night to celebrate our special day.  The weather was cooler and we enjoyed eating outside without the humidity.

I threw some cherry tomato seeds into a pot the other night, the seeds are old so not sure if they will germinate or not.  Will see.

Time to head out to do some shopping and go to art class.
