more of him, and others, later... pm now everyone tells me it is unseasonably hot and dry here, too, and that they’ve been waiting for the rains for months. i have to assume global warming must have its claw prints all over this. it felt, then, like a joyous miracle when it actually rained this evening, but it only lasted a minute or two, and now, paradoxically, it seems hotter. thoroughly dark now, with crickets, and nightbirds, and the giant geckos making their peculiar squeaky honking sound (like a deep baritone dog toy being squeezed). i have seen several flashes of lightning, but no more rain. i fear i am failing in my role as Intrepid Tourist, as i couldn't get it together this evening to walk the considerable distance into the center of town to hear a gamelan performance… fortunately, there will be other opportunities, and no matter how hot & sticky it may be, no matter how daunting the gauntlet of steamy, sooty, scooter-crazed streets might be, i WILL go hear gamelan, and i WILL go see and hear the Kecak Fire and Trance Dance… mark my words! ok, just one more monkey ... looks like s/he's lighting a joint, if you ask me...:)
