howdy folks, checking in from costa rica, getting bit to shit by skeeters while waiting for the dawn to rise.

but that's nothing, check out what happened just down the road...

The magnitude 6.1 tremor devastated the Poas Volcano National Park north of the capital San Jose, triggering landslides blocking roads and damaging buildings.
Red Cross officials said 10 of the victims were buried by a landslide at the popular La Paz waterfall.

I wondered about you last night after the late-late news, hoping you were not too close.

It's good to hear you are enjoying it all.  Take your time coming back because Madrid/Barajas is worse than when you left.  For all of---what?--- 10 cm of snow Friday, it closed for 5 hours and the delays and cancellations are finally less than 10 a day.

We´ll have a good meet and I´ll bring the sleeping mats. (;  (joke)
