Of Mice and Men... 8Sept

Hey
Just back from San Vicente. Looks like 4 hrs from dirt-road to driveway on a good day now...
Well, we finally said good-bye to our mouse... they have these 'sticky traps', trays with gooey-stickey stuff that traps the rodents... well, it worked, only 1 hr after we shut off the lights...
Each trip to the Village is like a CrackerJack box... always a surprise! Needless to say, the surprise this time was how some people go from "really, really wanting something... please come and help!" to "no way, don't want anything... don't need anything..." in a few weeks time. Sad, there was help there where people genuinely can't get that kind of help in their context/region....
Lesson learned: set things up so people have to make a couple steps towards what they're asking for before set-up and pre-work is invested...

onward!
Chris
