SF and F writer. Latest book from Aqueduct "Writing's writing." Have been living in Nicaragua since 2010. Also take photos for Alamy, a stock agency in the UK. Interested in watching foxes follow cats into self-domestication.
Hopefully without pain and feeling loved. If I'd known my Belle was going to die anyway, I'd have taken her home and let her sleep under the blanket on my chest.
Look who got on top off the wardrobe without installing shelves to help,
My possibly XXY cat says that binary is an over simplification and one alternative is he's a chimera of two kitten zygotes. Or some patches of his fur mutated.
Conditions here are moderate to cool growing. It's fun not having to mist and baby orchids. Below, Maude the cat, small epidendrum, laelia, on tree fern, and Oncidium in flower.
My seven year old neutered boy, with patches of weird color for a male cat. Adopted from former owner who was leaving Nicaragua.
Current cat was found as a young kitten in the street, had one owner before me who kept him indoors. Previous owner left Nicaragua,so I got the cat. First day, he rubbed my hand. Next day, showed me his belly, third day, sleeping in my bed.
New Cat, street rescue as little kitten by first owner, kept indoor by. Said to be 7 years old, not really convince or he is a small adult cat. Color is unusual, and he is a neutered male (haven't looked too closely) and very friendly but sleeps under the bed. Rubbed my hand the first day.
Yeah, a guy. Funny thing is where I live now, at least half the doctors are women and I've never had anyone tell me anything was stress or anxiety or all in my head.
The fun bit is seeing Trump with various other heads of state: media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/image/upload...
One of my orchids from a Christmas wreath I bought in April. Also had a Lalia rubescens and some other stuff in the wreath. Also, the meat prices a few years ago at La Colonia,a regional supermarket chain in Central America, first started in Nicaragua.
Putin and Daniel Ortega: jamestown.org/wp-content/u... Putin and Donald Trump: cdn.cloud.prio.org/images/a2f91... Ortega is harder to impress, I think.
This little cat tried to move into my former house that's now a paint store, was spayed and sent to Luis's house. Gets along well with the other family pets. The particular tabby pattern is not one I'd seen before.
Various people received videos of FSLN friends being tortured to death. Ortega, the police and the military decided to clean things up. Some opposition people just folded. FSLN guys rebuilt the roads under the watchful eyes of armed National Police, and my camera.
I'm in Nicaragua and it feels better than the South Carolina I lived in as a child.
It doesn't work for every one. If you like it after a week or so, renew your tourist visa for a longer stay if possible. Good advice I got was to not sell your US house and car until after living here for six months. Check out Boaco.
Blocking people is helpful. I'll post something visual to clean the eyeballs of the political crud.
There is no union in Pennsylvania for adjunct faculty, and most universities fight unions for graduate teaching assistants as well. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/co...
My helper is a good cook. When he worked at another friend's hotel, her nephew demanded that she hire a woman since cooking and serving food wasn't a man's job. I've licensed one photo he styled for me. I spill food and I suspect he doesn't, but he's not a pure straight male.
I'm in Nicaragua. Birds can be a bit different here. Better to have good camera and a suitable bird book.
If you're living a good life in Germany, good for you. I have friends (German with a Nicaraguan wife and family) who are also there. Many of my neighbors are rehabbing their houses and buying cars. It's better than South Carolina in the 1950s.
My helper and his daughter on Friday. His mother-in-law, her grandmother was dying, so he brought his daughter with him. Got the call about the death Saturday morning.
Managua first three, including Tomas Borge Tomb with a wreath from his survivors. Mural was in Jinotega, a birthday gift for a boy who lived in the house, which is now a clothing store on the ground floor.
