I was had to go to Cancun the other day and on the way there I noticed that there were a string of streetlamps on the way that were lit up. Probably about 25 of them, with a few intermittent lamps not working. I wasn’t sure what was going on, but I noticed a boom-truck at the end of the line of the line of lamps, preparing to do something.
I was returning to Playa a couple of hours later and noticed the lit up lamps and the boom-truckagain, this time with the boom somewhat extended and a with a lamp pulled off of its base(pole and all) and laying down on the ground. There were guys doing work on the heads of the lamp, apparently changing the light-bulbs.
Now I am not sure, but it appeared to me that they were changing the lightbulbs on the lamps. Is it possible that they pull the lamps down and change the burnt out lightbulbs while they are on the ground? The logic really wouldn’t surprise me.
I didn’t manage to get pictures of the guys changing the bulbs, because I was going 70 down the highway and the thought didn’t register until I was past the men at work, but I did manage to get pictures of the streetlamps, so everyone knows what I am talking about.
Be on the lookout for this type of thing, I want to know if anyone else has observed the changing of the lightbulbs.

So I have been really slacking on the blog lately…I have been getting heckled by email for not being more diligent about posting.I have just been really busy and I can’t even really account for my time, I guess life just gets in the way sometimes.Sorry about all of this if you have all been waiting for something.I am writing a piece about getting “Regimen de Condominio” for one of my buildings, coming soon.
For now, I will just display the picture of “Independence Donuts” that I found at Walmart the other day.I loved them, I had to buy one and take a picture. Then I ate it.

"Terrier Rosa de la Colosio"
I saw this rare creature the other day while driving around the Colosio. His owner was more than happy to let me take pictures of him. The cars behind me, not so happy.

I decided to start adding pictures that I take around Playa of interesting things, it will be in a category called “Local Wierd!”
I was inspired to start this when I ran into a 30ft. tall inflatable condom on the corner of Colosio and 40th. After further inspection I noticed that it is an advertisement for safe sex, which is a pretty noble cause. I guess it makes it easy to give directions to local businesses.
Just turn left at the giant...
The next local wierd entry is a little sign I saw on 45th while waiting for the light. Maybe mariachis are a problem in this neighborhood?
I cannot listen to Cielito Lindo even one more time!
