Last night I went to bed at 10:30, fell asleep quickly, got up once during the night, quickly fell back asleep and finally woke/got up at 8am.


I left the apt at 9:25 and walked to the copy center where I printed a photo of the downloads on my notebook.

I was back by 10am so I could watch some of the Today show.

I took a nap from 12:15 to 1:30.

My notebook battery died so I had to recharge it. Still 3,011 files left to upload to OneDrive.

What, Uber is back!?  Someone reported on Facebook that it has returned to Colombia as a Car Rental company, whatever that means.


We left the apt about 3pm and walked 2 blocks to the Mercado Madrid grocery store.  Our first time there, it’s a lot smaller than our usual Euro but a lot closer.  I didn’t find our usual brand of eggs which probably means I’ll have to tote them from the mall Exito.  I also didn’t find my Hunt’s BBQ sauce but luckily I’m not quite out as yet.


At checkout they made the mistake of charging it to dollars for a total of $139.48.  They nicely and patiently backed out the charge and changed it to pesos which equated to $132.55 saving us about $7.


A young man pushed a cart filled with our groceries up the hill to our apt and I tipped him 10mil.  It started raining just as we returned to the apt, first rain in weeks, but it only lasted about 15 minutes.


With some difficulty I finally logged into Claro Video and for 9,600 pesos rented Yesterday for the next 48 hours.


5,193 steps today.


Joke of the day

A guy with a black eye boards his plane and sits down in his seat.  He notices immediately that the guy next to him has a black eye too.

He says to him, "Hey this is a coincidence, we both have black eyes. Mind if I ask how you got yours?"

The other guy says, "Well, it just happened. It was a tongue twister accident. See, I was at the ticket counter and this gorgeous blonde with the most massive breasts in the world was there. So, instead of saying, 'I'd like two tickets to Pittsburgh', I accidentally said, 'I'd like two pickets to Tittsburgh'. So she socked me a good one."

The first guy replied, "Wow! This is unbelievable. Mine was a tongue twister too. I was at the breakfast table this morning and I wanted to say to my wife, 'Please pour me a bowl of Frosties, honey.'  But I accidentally said, 'You ruined my life you fat, evil hag'."
