Sunday, November 3, 2024

Last night I went to bed at 10pm, got up once at 6am, finally waking/getting up at 7am.

I left the apt at 8:30 and walked to Sao Paulo Plaza where Glenn with Bianca soon joined me in Olivenza. I gave him my condolences for the Yankees losing to the Dodgers in the World Series. I asked his opinion on how much a gringo moving here should have for monthly expenses. He said $2500 a month and he informed me he keeps a detailed spreadsheet of his daily expenses and he spends 50,000 pesos a day on food. 50,000 x 31 days = 1,550,000 COP/month or (using a CER of 4000COP/USD) = $387.50.

He thinks I can get Claro unlimited data for our cellphones for about 80mil a month.

I think I may have trapped ONEIPAMETATO1453’s queen. I should know in the next few moves.

I left at 10:30 and walked back to the apt.

We were planning on going to a restaurant in Provenza for lunch but then it got a little overcast and a little breezy, both indicators there might be rain this afternoon.



I found another note from Bob Burford so I posted it right away. He had a very interesting life but I think the only thing we have in common is we’re both O Negative.

Teresa suggested we invite Glenn over for a Thanksgiving Day dinner. I texted him and he accepted.

I watched NFL Redzone while waiting for the Bears game to start.

I trapped ONEIPAMETATO1453’s queen and he resigned on the 22nd move increasing my rating to 1608.

I ate some peanuts (original bag is still fresh) and drank a Coke while watching the Bears game. I did not enjoy watching the Bears get dismantled by the Cardinals 29-9. How underwhelming that was!

Jose has a doctor’s appointment so instead of playing chess on Tuesday I think I’ll get my blood test done a week earlier than I had planned.

Teresa wants to go to El Tesoro tomorrow and have lunch there.

I spent the evening trying to watch the news but had to switch between CNN and MSNBC as buffering appeared.

We had a little rain in the evening and it had almost ended by the time I went to bed at 10pm.
