Why can't you ever see this in Nebraska? Because there is no shadow! At 11:29 am yesterday, the sun was directly overhead. Since Peru lies between the tropics on the globe, twice a year the sun goes directly overhead.
Yesterday I visited Alejandro, the crippled, 83-year-old that we help. He had gotten hit by a car (luckily, just his crutch that was poking into the street got hit, knocking him down, and the driver sped off) and his crutch was broken and he was sore from head to toe. I got him some Tramadol 300 mg extended-release tablets, which I nervously gave him (it's a high dose), but he is in so much pain the benefits outweighed the risks. Today he was smiling from head to toe and when I gave him his crutch that I fixed he smiled even more. He said his pains were all gone! Of course, when the constipation sets in he might not be so smiley.
