Juan Peten climbed the mountain, cut the wood with his machete, and hauled it down on his back. He had been doing this, two trips per day, for thirty years. He wore the same slacks, the same thirt, and had no shoes. He didn't know the date, or even how old he was. But often he thought about his daughter.

He hadn't made the long trip to see her in the hospital at Santa Ana since the rains had started.
