I hope to return to Puerto Rico in the following months to remodel my apartment. I wanted to put in hard wood floors but note that barely anybody in Puerto Rico has them. I was curious to know yoru experiences with them. Greetings!

I was just there over christmas/ new year and have noticed that the pet population has exploded. Everywhere I looked there were dead dogs on the sides of the roads. Ive been to Puerto Rico many times before and stay with family in Coamo and it seems like there is more druggies, more people asking for money, and more stray animals all over the island. They have got to get a handle on it because it is starting to look really bad. I love Puerto Rico so dont think Im bad mouthing it in fact Im planning on moving there . I just hope that they get a handle on it. I love reading your blog, and when I was there I went to Rincon and kept a eye out for you guys so I could say hi. Oh well maybe next time.

It cuts easy and it is flexible so you can remove it when it out grows it. When the trees get too big for what you are using, maybe try plastic drain tile.

Not as attractive as the curlers, but still works! In Seattle we cut liter pop bottles to put around new bamboo shoots - the squirrels loved to eat the new shoots. Sometimes we forgot slits and couldn't get them off easily... Oh, the pots keep chickens from scratching around the new stuff too... I don't know where they come from but they always know when I plant seeds or plants and come to dig stuff up!
