Monday, July 23rd still in Mazara del Valle

Written by Jack van Ommen on July 23rd, 2012

We had thunderstorms off and on all day. But it looks like I’ll be able to get on my way north tomorrow. I had a battery put in my old cheap Velcro wristband watch for 5 Euro. Saturday night I woke up to the midnight alarm of the watch I lost in Syracuse. I was not awake enough to trace the short alarm. So, last night I set my cellphone alarm for just before midnight and sure enough the alarm went off. I had been excited for finding the watch all day. Then it turned out that the stop watch/alarm that Lynne Poland had brought on the boat in October 2008 also has an alarm going off at midnight. I had dug this out as a substitute watch. It has the identical alarm and I still can’t figure out why either go off at midnight and I was never able to figure out how to stop it on my expensive watch. It takes a twelve year old to figure that out and I am running out of those in my family. Tomorrow my youngest grandchild turns 16. I bit the bullet and bought a new pair of Maffia Polaroid sunglasses to replace the pair I lost.

I may be out of internet access now for a couple days.
