Is Chañaral a dying town? It is so polluted from the mining up the valley that the administration considers to leave the mess behind and build it up some place else. However the people in the supermarket made a quite vital impression on me. - Passing town limits I saw a dog who was so groggy that he could barely keep himself on his legs. He looked for a place to rest and probably to die. His buddy, who wasn't in a much better shape seemed to have glasslike eyes...

I went swimming - the ocean was cold. The arctic drift had some kind of metaphysical force over me that pushed me out again.

Run away bird. How I've missed the ocean! I've spent the better part of the day tramping at beaches.
