Change in the weather

Fuck you and your book too
you can have it back
-Porcupine Tree


Last night i was cleaning the grill and getting it hot. I thought i saw little flashes in the sky, very faint. 5 minutes later i figured out it was lightning, something we don't see much. It was like heat lightning. So i just brought the grill in the kitchen because i could see clouds to the west. 15 minutes later the wind was slamming doors shut. Then is began to pour. Then I heard stuff 'pinging' in Chema's room. It was hail coming in the window. Little bits of rock hard ice. It sounded like the sky was falling. The terrace was filled with bouncing little balls of ice. It was one of the craziest things i have ever seen. And then it was over as suddenly as it came.

Even the weather is nuts here.

And the heat is killing me. 95 Degrees! The air is like off of a roasting full-grown pig. The air from Africa. That continent is really starting to piss me off.

I forget it beats on you for the first week. And I estimate now that I walk a minimum of 5km a day. And in long pants. I'm sweating like John Candy. I do have very light pants - the khaki linen ones are like pajamas! Linen pants rock.

Cold drinks get warm in five minutes. Drinking gazpacho daily has helped. It's all fluids and vitamins. It's like 500 year old Andalusian Gatorade without all the sugar. it's wild - i feel better 5 minutes after I drink it.

The Russo-Spanish Conflict
I heard from my buddy Tripp today and he's in Russia on business, so he's going out to watch the Spain - Russia semifinal on Jueves in Russia. That will be a blast.

The Cuatro, which shows the games, is asking everyone to wear red on Thursday.

The Euro Cups are a big F#@king deal man. I read that Spain beat Italy for the first time since 1920!!!!! Italy has won 4 World Cups since then.

The way out
is the way in
