How do Things Work

What is it?

One of the things I do in my "spare time" while we are in Mazatlan is write articles for the local Pacific Pearl newspaper here. The locals seem to enjoy them, so I thought I would create an HTML version so my web readers could check them out too. They only "indirectly" have any real relevance to Mazatlan, in that most of the ideas were inspired by the world around us here. Anyway, if your are interested, take a look, and above all, enjoy!
