Last night I took a Zopiclona and went to bed at 10:30, got up at 2am and 4:30, finally waking/getting up at 7:45.
I left the apt just after 9am for my walk. I saw the day
school a block away was open with kids running around. One girl tried, unsuccessfully,
to catch one of 3 chickens. I ran into Marcos outside his apt complex on his
way to Mercado Madrid. He told me he talked so someone else at the store
where he bought his television and they said since he bought it on November 3rd
if no one comes out to fix it by December 3rd he can exchange it for
a new one at their store. I saw another day school open with children playing
outside. After I completed my usual back streets I walked through La Buena Mesa
where I saw workers trimming trees at the corner by Antonio’s Gelato. I saw workers moving material into the old El
Tepito restaurant location. I returned to the apt at 10:15.
Teresa left at 10:30 for her eye doctor appointment.
I left the apt at 12:15 and walked to the mall. I made
an ATM withdrawal then went up to Mundoverde where a waitress confirmed
they have waffles today. After the usual disinfection procedures, I sat down
and looked at their online menu. Huge! I finally found the waffles and each one
came with either Nutella or arequipe. I noticed a photo of a waffle with scoops
of vanilla and chocolate ice cream with banana and strawberry slices. I pointed
to the photo and she wrote it down. Not being very fond of chocolate ice cream I
asked if I could get 2 scoops of vanilla. The waitress checked with someone and
reported that only as shown in the photo. Okay. When she brought my order there
were 2 scoops of chocolate ice cream. I questioned it and she said they didn’t
have vanilla. Sigh! The waffle with a café con leche set me back 23,430 pesos
(about $7).
I went downstairs and had a café con leche in Todo Fresa.
When I left, the streets were wet but luckily It wasn’t raining at the moment. I
took a taxi back to the apt.
We had some rain in the afternoon.
I beat Teresa 5 games to 2 in parcheesi. She was not
happy. Especially when I make an aggressive move in a game that she considers
to be a “bad move”. I do that sometimes just to liven up the game but sometimes
it does come back to bite me.
We had more rain in the evening and was raining
heavily by the time we went to bed.
President Trump told reporters at the White House on Friday that
he “won” the 2020 election and that people will “find that out” eventually
before leaving the room without offering any evidence for his false claim.
Trump — who lost the Nov. 3 election by a wide margin to Joe
Biden — made the inaccurate declaration during an appearance in the White House
briefing room that was supposed to be focused on an announcement about lowering
prescription drug prices.
“Big pharma ran millions of dollars of negative advertisements
against me during the campaign,” Trump said, reading from prepared remarks,
before inserting: “which I won, by the way, but you know, we’ll find that out.
Almost 74 million votes.”
When nearly a half-million motorcycle enthusiasts gathered
in South Dakota this summer, health experts worried the gathering would ignite
new outbreaks of coronavirus cases. It did, according to a report Friday that
looked at cases in neighboring Minnesota.

Joke of
the day
A salesman returns from his assignment in Saudi
Arabia, where he went to sell them a new brand of Coca-Cola.
Seeing his crestfallen face, a friend asks him:
"Why the long face?"
The salesman replied: "I failed in Saudi-Arabia,
the campaign was a total failure."
"Why is that?" Asked the friend,
"I thought you had a good campaign running."
"Well, when I got posted there, I was very
confident that I would make a great sales pitch to the Saudis. But I had a
problem - I didn't speak Arabic, so I planned to convey the meaning of the
message with the use of three images:
First poster: A man lying in the
hot desert sand in utter exhaustion, he has fainted.
Second poster: The man is drinking the
new Coca-Cola brand.
Third poster: Our man is now
totally refreshed and feeling great.
I had these posters pasted all over the place.
You couldn't go anywhere without seeing them."
"Terrific! That should have worked!"
said the friend.
"The heck it should have!" said the salesman.
"Only no one told me they read from right to
left!!"
Terry, your wrote "From today, the president now has exactly 2 months left to fuck things up before he leaves office." It should have read "to fuck things up even more before he is kicked out of office." :) :)
