3:10 to Lima

I arrived in Lima, Peru a few days ago to spend some time in South America where I will be writing a five volume work on the history of ideas, A Genealogy of Left Dhimmi Fascism.

This is my chair where I say writing today. Will have more later as I settle in. If you are in Lima, please let me know and perhaps we can meet for lunch in Mira Flores.

Till next day or so,

Yalladios, Dag

Looks like a nice place to write, Dag.

"A Genealogy of Left Dhimmi Fascism" or "Death Hippies, A Family Tree."

Nice jacket too. Leather, and well worn. Comfy.

Hello, you. Nice to see you joining me while I type in Lima this evening.

I find the city a bit overcast for my tastes, but since I spend most of my time typing the mass of papers I have brought with me to wile away the coming twelve months I might not see too much of the sky at all.

I'm currently living in a small hotel in Mira Flores, and all are invited to join me for afternoon coffee. I still speak English, though I have little chance to do so here. It would be a welcome relief.

Yes, I do like that jacket. I had to leave the motorcycle in Canada, but the jacket was too cool to lose. And-- you'll be able to spot me in a crowd here, if only because of the fringes flapping in the breeze.

I hope to take some time out from the typing to shoot some of the sights here. It's got its attractions, does Lima. So far I like it here. If that wears off, there's always some village to go to to continue typing away.

In unrelated news, I have a friend busily editing a book I have coming out, perhaps next month, An Occasional Walker, which I will announce with grand fanfare when available.

Back to typing. Always good to get a note from you. Thanks for dropping in and saying hello.

Looks sunny to me. But I guess if you need a leather jacket at sea level, ten degrees from the equator, your photo really does give a full picture.

Shalom

Ha! I waited for days to take that picture of a sunny courtyard. As soon as I took it, the sun was gone until just now as I type to complain.

But really, where would a man be in the world if he didn't have a thick motorcycle jacket with conchos and fringes?
