How I live Now

I thought I'd better give some of the details of my daily life, because some people don't seems to think about what the reality of my situation is.

I sleep outside a supermarket that only closes its doors at about 9pm. There are some people who sell fried chicken on the corner and until about 3am there is a constant passage of people arriving on motorbikes and mopeds and shouting and cheering and stuff. There a lot of mosquitoes and I get bitten a lot. At 6:30 they arrive and open the supermarket.

I only have 60,000 pesos left of the 100,000 I arrived here with, and if I want to sit on a chair then I have to buy a bottle of coca cola for 1,500 pesos. Otherwise I sit on the side of the street. There are very, very few trees in town and it gets hot as hell during the early afternoon. It is dusty and noisy and I have nobody to talk to. If I want to wash, I can at least walk 1km to the beach and wash in the sea.

At this place I use Internet, the woman who runs it can barely disguise her dislike of me. They leave the terminal next to me playing music loud enough that they can hear it all over the shop, which means that even with the headphones they supply I cannot hear what I want to listen to, unless I plug my own headphones into the machine next to me to stop the speakers. That will probably piss her off even more when she realises that it's what I do.

So I have nothing to do all day, and I have no privacy and no comfortable place to be. And what for? I don't know. So that I can imagine the converstions people have about me but which I am not allowed to join in? Or so that I can get shit like this from my stupid fucking daughter? I have already made it very clear I do not want anything to do with her or her fucking mother, but no, it must go on, and on, and on, .... Because Cambridge and the fucking fleamasons have to be all over my case, all the time. She is referring to a mysterious sum of $120 they want to send me because "the money from my mother was delayed when they sent it to Cali" It is a useless amount of money. I told my mother explicitly, that if she wants to carry on sending this useless insulting crap, she has to do it independently of these two fucking whores. They refuse to acknowledge my totally unreasonable demand of US$10,000 a temporary passport and a flight to Washington DC. Instead they want to send me $120 dollars so I can spend another month in this fucking shit hole of a town doing fuck-all while they control "the conversation" in which I am not allowed to participate. This is the shit I got from her today:

I'm going to keep offering anyway, in case you change your mind. Where would you like us to send your money?

I don't want any help from you for anything.

Dad, I’ve seen your blog post and just want to help you get to a doctor for your injury. What can I do to help?

This was in The Guardian: David Turner obituary , only eight days after I posted  David Turner Talking About Sixty Years of Functional Programming History : This talk was given in London in 2017: See  Turner, D. A. "Some History of Functional Programming Languages" also  John Hughes - Why Functional Programming Matters  and David MacQueen's talk at ICFP 2015 in  Numberphile - Sophie Maclean on the Catalan Numbers . At 10:30 This whole discussion abut combinator reduction is especially interesting. I didn't know Arthur Norman had tried building hardware for combinator machines. I'll look that up: maybe start here A.C. Norman  Faster combinator reduction using stock hardware  in LFP '88: Proceedings of the 1988 ACM conference on LISP and functional programming. At 26:25 on the ISWIM virtual machine implemented in the PAL compacting garbage collector?! This work Reynolds and others did was at MIT in Masecheusetts and Argonne National Laboratory Illinois. Did

... and his posterity too? See  On Communication in Linear Time And Hypertext And The Gospel of Sophia . So it looks like El Cielo of the cistine [sic!😂] chapel is not the limit anymore.  I think I just met one of his descendents. A guy called Versailles Toledo who is from Chiapas. That might explain the murals I mention in my recent untitled post , just before the post mentioning this video. I also just took this photo of Rafael Gonzales, born here in Tecate, B.C., who told me about a spring near here called Agua Fría , half way from Tecate to Loma Tova , where, a few decades ago, people used to go to have barbecues and stuff, but now he thinks it may be private land. If someone reading this has a Facebook account, please write a link to this post onto his FB page. To see why I took the photo, look at his T-shirt and the horse-shoes and ponder this: Subscribe to BeatrizER and her video(s?) about mathematical logic, ... Sounds like Edith (II) Rix has been online all the time, ...
