We like to call these guys THE JUMPING SPIDERS. It's really not as bad as it looks. Ok - truth is, I didn't realize how bad this thing looked until I took this photo. Ewwwwww. Yuck. But at least it's not that big. And they are kinda cool. They JUMP. They really JUMP. Every time you try to put your foot down on one of them they JUMP. It's takes a couple weeks to get the hang of squishing these things. Now that I know how hairy and ugly they really are ............. I'll be getting better at that.
Yesterday's Post. It's a close up picture of these cool little balls and holes in the sand that the tiny little crabs make on the beach. These crabs are tiny, tiny. Not much bigger than the JUMPING SPIDERS. There are thousands of them. All over the place. The beach looks like a giant canvas that someone went graphic on. It's so cool. All sorts of swirls and neat little patterns. And in about 12 hours the tide comes in and washes it all out of place. And then of course they start again. Oh, for the life of a beach crab - and we thought we had it tough.
Looks like we're not getting the get-away this weekend. The other Me - is just way too busy at work. Oh well, those Gili Islands aren't going anywhere. We'll get there yet.
Ok, just about had enough of the US election stuff. HAVEN'T YOU? I'm am sooooo done with that. We have 5 news channels here, from all over the world. And the presidential debate - was on all of them. Get over it people - just hurry up and vote. Note: If there are any McCain supports in Balikpapan - they are not sharing that.
Yesterday I paid the phone bills. And did it in record time. No queuing - imagine that. I should go on the last day all the time. Wholly - walked in and just paid. That is not the norm. Everyone must have gotten there ahead of me or there's going to be a lot of phone service cut off next week. This usually takes way longer than that, sometimes hours. There's a reason why they have (English with Bahasa sub-titles) HBO on the TV. It's certainly not for the staff. I once watched a whole movie in that place.
TODAY: Seems everyone is having a birthday this week. Have 2 birthdays to celebrate tonight. And one of our favorite guys back home is having his tomorrow.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY everyone. HAPPY BIRTHDAY everyone. Happy Birthday to Todd. HAPPY BIRTHDAY everyone. Eat cake.
Good to Go.
