I can’t believe it’s the last day of April and tomorrow is May 1.  My how time flies when you’re having fun.  Tonight in beautiful San Felipe, you can hear the Agave Blues strut their stuff at the JollyMon Bar beginning around 6:30 p.m.  Lynn wrote today to let us know about the fight: “This Saturday, May 1, JollyMon Bar will broadcast the Floyd Mayweather/Shane Mosley fight LIVE from Las Vegas on HBO PPV. Come early for good seats. No cover charge. No reservations. Fight stuff usually starts at 6pm PT……Join the excitement. JollyMon is located in Plaza Paraiso Km 178.5 (across from the big, green crockodile sign.” It should be a great fight and my money is on Mosley.  Khye Blair with his shades on.  He’s so cute I just want to eat him up.

I hear it’s a bit windy and cooler in San Felipe.  I received an email from Ed Meders, owner of the San Felipe Title Book Store down on Mar de Cortez.  He wanted to let us know the Imperial County International Airport is closed and traffic is being diverted to Yuma.  Funny, United didn’t say anything yesterday when I called them.  At any rate, yes, it was closed but I called today and spoke with Carla and she told me it is open but to contact Skywest Airlines as they were handling all the traffic.  She said “people are walking in and out”.  So, it’s open now, but I do recall a gentleman telling me it would be closed to make repairs from the earthquake damage.

It’s hump day in San Felipe once again and the 8th Annual International Chili Cook-off is fast approaching.  There’s still time to enter your special chili and if you’ll go onto their page by clicking here, you can find out how to accomplish that.  It’s a fun time and I’m so sorry I’m going to miss it this year.  I’m going to stay with my daughter an extra couple of weeks and things being slow in San Felipe, it’s the perfect time.  Cory Dudley is at it again with his wood art and he sent me a couple of photos of “Sitting Bull”.  It’s a work of art.

I hear the weather is great in San Felipe; too bad I can’t say the same for Lake Chelan.  It’s been raining since last night and although we saw some blue skies this morning, it had started to rain again.  My buddy Kenneth Whitmore wrote me regarding A Child’s Garden, The Flying Sams and our American football team, The Tiburones: “I wanted to update you on the Sam’s clinic.  We had 11 patients for operations, 3 more than we had planned. But there was one ‘no show’ and one patient’s blood pressure was too high to operate on, so our final count was 9 operations.  All had their patches removed yesterday morning and all were able to read the eye chart.  The look on their faces was pricless; the last plane leaves in about one hour.  Yesterday we had our first home game, and the Rotary presented the boys their uniforms, and we had a crowd of around 200, including Ken Duffy, President of Rotary, and projects manager – I beleive his name is Jerry. Our boys played hard but the other team was a little bit better, but we are showing improvement daily. After the games some of the parents prepared lunch for both teams and many others. It was truly a great day with no serious injuries.  Anyway that should give you an update on the two events. Did get pictures of Mayor with new equipment, and video of game. Need help getting them on computer. If I can get it done, I will send you the pictures and video.” Thank you Kenny.

I didn’t post anything yesterday on the Korner and that’s because it was my daughter’s birthday and to tell you the truth,  I forgot until evening and by that time, it was a bit late.  Another Monday in San Felipe and things are a bit quiet I hear.  The weather up here has been a bit chilly, except when the wind dies down.  It is so beautiful when it’s sunny.  So my daughter turned 33 yesterday and Hop-a-Long came down for a mini party.  She got Avitar for a gift and so we all watched it and I’m telling you – it’s the longest movies I think I’ve seen, except for Ben Hur.  I believe it was 166 minutes but the special effects were pretty good.
