I don't know what to make of the weather here lately - a few days of sunshine, then dark skies/no rain, but also very high winds no matter what the weather that stir up the seas and hence the boats coming & going are canceled, rescheduled - and every so often one gets clearance to take off and then has to serpentine the 1 hour route to avoid the waves, creating a 3 hour trip to the mainland.

I had just got back after taking Mama Helen's daughter Jen and her son Kuji to my doctors office in Bantayan Town (Kuji had some bad congestion in his lungs I'd noticed the night before), and it was a stressful visit for me; he's very sick - so I took a ride up to Madridejos at the top of Bantayan Island afterward to decompress, and was struck by one of the weirdest things I'd seen: the candy cane Sea-Troll Baby smoking a butt.

Weird sights to go with the weird weather here.

More on little Kuji tomorrow.

Thanks for reading today,
