Ever Feel Like Could Use a Little Assistance?
In the cool morning light I guess I could be forgiven for thinking that someone had dropped a towel on the floor leading into my office.  As I bent down to pick it up I noticed it had several pairs of rather annoyed looking eyes glaring back at me.  I lept back in surprise (great fear) as I realised I had stumbled across an early morning “Duel to the death”.  Not the first time since arriving.  These very large ghekos known here by the onamatpaec name “Toké” (They make a tremendous noise) are usually very timid and it is rare to get such a close view.  I could have caught them both but might have lost my arm in the process.  Some traditions have considered them ancestors and must not be disturbed whereas others have made medicine from them for all manner of maladies.  We have about 8 of these critters in and around our house.  Anyway I did intervene and break up the fight though I think neither of the Toké will thank me for it.

Stephen Price
Speaking of helping others out of a sticky spot, let me tell you a little about one of the people who has been a tremendous help to HSI since its inception.
Stephen Price has been a good friend of mine for over 10 years now and in that time he has sorted out just about every technical issue I have ever had.  “Steve” as he is known to his friends seems to be able to fix things in seconds that would take the layperson months to sort through.  Steve heads up an IT company called WebHQ.  One of the coolest things ever is that even though Steve is in NZ and I’m all the way out here, he can still work on my PC through remote access.
I think the thing that I admire most about Steve though is his genuine interest and his sense of personal investment in my work that is evident in everything he does.  HSI is extremely privileged to be have Steve on the team.  If you need Steve's help just click on the following logo:
