winter, well it's 75

it's january here -- which means winter time!!!!! it's amazing, at night it's about 75 degrees farenheit, which may not seem cold to you, but a 30-40 degree drop in temperature sure feels cold. i actually turned my fan off and used the sheet -- last night i had to use my sheet and a sarong. wow. the mosquito's don't like the cold, so they have gone away for a while too. this week we are schalacking my nipa -- i didn't realize when i built the hutt that bamboo molts off it's outter layer and throws dust everywhere. it's like living in a saw mill -- bamboo dust everywhere -- piles of it. so to cure the situation we are schalacking it to seal in the dust and keep the bugs out!!!! so hopefully the mold wont grow and my eyes won't swell. work is going pretty slow right now, just trying to meet with officials to get another class started. since everything is slow now, i have volunteered to be the hiv/aids awareness representative in my region. i don't have a great knowledge on the subject, but my basic info far surpasses anything anyone here knows. so i guess that qualifies me for the position -- and is something else to do.
