Ugh

-
I just got back from the store - spent $16 Belize for 1 green pepper, 1 yellow pepper, 1 bag snow peas and 2 stalks of celery. Ouch! If it were Saturday I could get 2 bbq chicken dinners from John in the park for that price.

I even checked through the peppers for light ones so that I would not wind up paying for a heavy seed packet inside (our old roommate Jerry was very specific in teaching me that). I picked 2 stalks of celery out of a package (yes you can do that here) because I was thinking in the moment and only wanted enough for tonight's dinner fish and veggie stir fry.

There must be a better way.

The upside is I have re-oiled our new wok that Cindy gave us - she got it from Alan and I am looking forward to trying it out.

Help Save Bacalar Chico

-
According to 7News Belize, the Government of Belize is planning to 'De-Reserve' at least 3,000 acres of the Bacalar Chico Marine & Wildlife Reserve in Northern Ambergris Caye, and sell the land to developers. According to reports, the deal is all but done. Residents of Ambergris Caye are being urged to come together and protest this issue. It is also very important for non residents of Belize to support this issue. Many of you have fallen in love with Ambergris Caye and keep coming back for more. Please help us make it known how we feel about the preservation of Marine and Wildlife Reserve area of Bacalar Chico. If you are not in Belize and want to take a stand against the sale and de-reserve of Bacalar Chico land please leave a comment with your first and last name and where you are from and I will put together a master list.

The 4 - Hour work week Escape 9 - 5 Live Anywhere And Join The New Rich Timothy Ferris A short while ago, Alan told me this is one book I should be reading so I followed his advice and found a copy on eBay - tacoboy even called next in line to read it. I have not read chapter 1 yet and can already say I am sure many of you would be inspired by this book - good for airplane reading - you might even even find a copy for sale while waiting for your flight. Yesterday I got my green highlighter out and started reading the introduction, highlighting the good bits as I went a long - below are some parts that stood out for me - I feel like this book will definitly add a few more pieces to the puzzle. From using Jedi Mind tricks to disappear from the office to designing businesses that finance your lifestyle, there are paths for every comfort level. Live Life Large - instead of postponing it. The objective is to create freedom of time and place and use both however you want. I'm excited. I...
