Time moves differently in Puerto Rico. It's not a matter of everyone simply being late or disorganized. It's more of the laws of physics not applying in the same way they do elsewhere. Days end up passing by, and things get done, but it's never quite clear how. I know someone who would be right at home here. Maybe that's why we get along.

My watch died today. Gus needed to be somewhere at a certain time, so I brought my Suunto into the ocean with us. Ten years must have taken their toll on the waterproofing: the display is now fogged and misty, with random LCD segments turned on. I had set it to WWV just before leaving NM. It must be a sign from the time gods.

I've rinsed out the watch and set it to dry. Perhaps it will work again when I'm back in the regular universe.
