To get caught up...

nowalmartI ordered a snorkelling mask and snorkel today. It was a somewhat expensive purchase, but I know that it will get a lot of use. The big expense, of course, was the fact that I need prescription lenses in the mask. Takes a $35 mask and makes it almost $100.
I am slowly finding places online that will ship to the VI. Amazon will not, but L.L. Bean will, as will REI. The SCUBA gear place I found online will, as well.
Powell's will, but they say it will take 8-12 weeks shipping. I would really like to find a source for used books down here. There is a bookstore close by, but they only do new books. They do a lot in special orders, though, so I can get other books if I want.
I need to check with the school - I am hoping I will be able to check books out of the library. That will be nice.
On a completely unrelated note, there is a Chevrolet commercial series that has gas stations doing mean things to Chevies, saying that gas stations hate Chevies since they get such great gas milage. That point aside, one of them pictures a Cobalt (nee Cavalier) WITH A HUGE WING on the back of the car.
What do you think that wing does to gas milage?
I have not done any substitute teaching yet. I still do the afterschool gig. It is nice, but I do think I am going to need a bit more money each month. I am considering finding a retail job for about 10 hours a week to make ends meet.
Went to a new beach yesterday, Lindberg Bay. It was nice. Definitely more of a "locals" beach. A nice alternative, since it is reachable via a dollar cab. Today I headed back to Morningstar Bay. Tomorrow we are meeting up with some people who are going to give us a ride to Magen's Bay.
I really want to start snorkeling.
Anyway, that is my life.
