Cool Week for the Birds

Much of the week was spent in phone hell.  Can't seem to activate it and still have my old US service plan.  Supposedly it will be unlocked by Monday and I should then be able to activate it on iTunes.  If I can't, I might have to make a trip back to the US to get it done. 
It's been slowly getting hotter, so on one of my many futile trips to AT&T, I went to the nearby Walmart and bought an air conditioner to get me through the hot and rainy summer.  So, the only project work has been working on the removable installation.  I did make some time to get some nice beach sunset and bird photos, though.

It works.  Cooler and much less humid.
