calexico revisited

Back in Calexico tonight. Oh how much hotter it's got since I visited there last.

There are no air-conditioners or senpuki fans in Calexico. The environmentalist in me (an M.Sc in Environmental science no less) wouldn't have it any other way. I can't get past the irony of using electricity to cool you down when you are spinning out so many watts. If I was more mechanically minded I would find a way to wire the rollers up to a small motor to power a fan, a big screen TV and a small minibar. I'd make so much money I'd never have to work again, move to Calexico and ride my bike all day long....

No time to enjoy Calexico's blue skies today so I was limited to the trainer tonight. The music was wonderful as always. If I was a music critic I'd write all day long about how good this band are. In the days of itunes and ipods it's great to have an album when each song sounds better than the last and you don't want to it to end Check out the mini-documentary here.

Didn't empty the tank tonight as I want to get up for some early morning asaren. Easy on the Coronas tonight then....
