Strange days. Second day working at the clinic doing general practice in Patchakan. Busy. Sometimes there are several members of a family in each exam room with a variety of complaints. I am speaking some Spanish. They are speaking some English. Youngest patient was 17 days old. Oldest patient was 82 yo. Friendly Asian man packing heat. Possible Dengue Fever. Lots of coughs and low back pain. Creoles, Mayans, Guarafuna, American. Some Chinese translated by Creole. This is different. For some reason the lyrics to David Byrnes song go through my mind all day. Remember God is good.
"You may find yourself in another part of the world
You may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
You may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
You may ask yourself: well... how did I get here?
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground
You may ask yourself
How do I work this?
You may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
You may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house!
You may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife!
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground
Same as it ever was... Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was... Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was... Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was... Same as it ever was...
Water dissolving... and water removing
There is water... at the bottom of the ocean
Remove the water
Carry the water
Remove the water from the bottom of the ocean
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground
Letting the days go by/into the silent water
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground
You may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house?
You may ask yourself
Where does that highway lead to?
You may ask yourself
Am I right?... Am I wrong?
You may say to yourself
My God!... what have I done?
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground
Letting the days go by/into the silent water
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground
Same as it ever was... Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was... Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was... Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was... Same as it ever was...
Time isn't holding us
Time isn't after us
Time isn't holding us
Time isn't holding us
Time isn't holding us
Time isn't after us
Time isn't holding us
[unknown line]
Letting the days go by...
Letting the days go by...
Letting the days go by...
Once in a lifetime...
Letting the days go by...
Letting the days go by...
Letting the days go by...
Once in a lifetime..."
