The story so far…
The only reason I had pulled up my stakes
and left Tijuana last year was to acquire a minor operation on my left ankle. I
had let these damn calcium spurs to fester and mutate over the past decade and
it had become downright arrogant. So, in a fit of bitter cheapness and under
the knowledge that my health care in Arizona was still valid, I high tailed it
to Tucson to get the simple operation done free and gratis on the government tip.
That operation was scheduled for yesterday.
It didn’t happen. After months of waiting, I was eventually informed I was
under the care of a new doctor and the croaker wanted all new x-rays and a new evaluation done solely for his amusement. I state amusement because nothing had
changed and I vehemently stated that the procedure was being drawn out in lieu
of milking my heath care for money. Instead of removing said problem as stated
four months prior, I was given the same analysis, awarded some type of squishy
soles for my shoes and given another checkup two months from yesterday. Aldous
Huxley what?
So, here I am, stuck in Tucson. I honestly cannot
think of any reason to remain. At all. I passionately wish to return to
Tijuana. Or go to Cambodia. But, I will bide my time and at least finish the
first draft of this book. I have given myself until the end of August or beginning
of September.
Why the fuck doncha just settle down in
Tucson and stop all this moving around? Well, I know myself better than you and
I know if I will retain a place here, fill it with furniture, eventually I will get out right
bored and leave. There is really nothing to do here. I rather live than exist. I would think you have come to
realize that by now. Damn. What are you? Retarded or something?

Get well! Keep writing, I've been to Tijuana every other month since I came across your blog.
Thank you for the kind words, Dan.
