Yep.

City services are really bad in the 'D'.

It's actually a good thing that the gangbangers can't hit the broad side of the Packard plant, or the death rate would be much higher than it is.

The weather has been sunny and in the mid 80's with low humidity, and I've been eating dinner and surfing the web from the table on the balcony. Last night I got a hambuguesa from a street vendor that was fried in bacon grease with a fried slice of ham, fried onions, cheese, diced tomatoes, mayo, tomato salsa and mustard. Gotta make em that way when I get home.

The bad part is.....

I have to fly back Thursday morning....
Well, try to endure it.. Only a couple days left (Lucky dude)...

Just turn the light out when you pee-if it glows your in trouble and just don't know it yet.

Don't forget to check you mattress & headboard for bedbugs trying to sneak a ride on you back across the border to your house...

Seriously-check. They hop rides in the folds of your luggage zippers.

Good! Friend does Exterminating and said 1st thing you do is throw a wet wash cloth on the tub drain & keep all your luggage in the tub, then look under sheets & matress folds. I treat my luggage before we go anywhere & then have a spray with to treat the beds, bedding, and around bedboard and baseboard. Bed bugs in a hotel room doesn't mean it's not a 5 star room, just means the people before you left a present without knowing it. Google bedbugs-nasty stuff.

For you travelers out there-like I said could be a 5 star Hotel-it isn't their fault this happens but you can stop it from happening to you and you family:

I use this for the luggage although I pay $10 at the RESIDEX Exterminators supply store, cheaper than online:
http://www.bedbugsupply.com/Bed-Bug-...sses_p_45.html

And this is what I use for beds, bedboard/headboard, & any baseboards-$11 at RESIDEX supply store:

Have a great rest of your stay & safe home...See the Doctor also about possible cholestorol levels and quadruple bypass surgury!!

Mike (No bed bugs here!)
