Sad, really

And then we need a contact, said Gloria at DIF where I was getting my card for the elderly, typing away on a machine that sounded like it was close relation to the original Gutenberg printing press.
Anyone ? A neighbor ?
I have no neighbors, I said.
Friends ? Acquaintances ? anyone in Vallarta with a telephone number.
UH, I said, I can't think of anyone...wait....Antonio, there is Antonio, only I don't think he has a telephone.
Fine, said Gloria, we shall put down Antonio as contact.
So now I have a card, and heavens forbid something happens to me and people try and get in contact with my designated person of contact, for he is listed as :
Antonio Ontiveros,
conocido,
El centro, Vallarta.
There must be hundreds and hundreds of Antonios in the center of Vallarta.

Alan Alan Alan... ¿did it have to be a person in PVR? ¡no! you could have put Flash and Alice down! it IS the same state! same time zone... surely Sra. Gutenberg could have coped with that.....
