Happy Labor Day!

I got up once at 6, finally waking/getting up at 8:40.

No blood in my shorts today so I guess I’m over that and won’t have to mention it again.

I was looking for which US state is similar in size to Colombia and I found this:  If Colombia were your home instead of The United States you would …

·       be 8.4 times more likely to be murdered

·       be 32.88% more likely to be unemployed

·       make 78.98% less money

·       be 2.4 times more likely to die in infancy

·       die 4.31 years sooner

·       spend 94.04% less money on health care

·       use 91.96% less electricity

·       consume 89.51 less oil

·       be 66.05% less likely to be in prison

·       experience 24.22% more of a class divide

·       be 16.67% less likely to have HIV/AIDS

·       have 24.66% more babies.

Btw, Colombia is 440,800 square miles.  In comparison, Texas is 268,820 and California is 163,696, so the two together just about equal the size of Colombia.

I watched 1947’s The Paradine Case (6.5) starring Gregory Peck, Charles Laughton, Ethel Barrymore, Louis Jourdan, and Leo G. Carroll.

Laura left at 2:45 for Caldas to get a new Cedula.

Teresa took a nap from 3:15 to 4pm.

I watched 1948’s Rope (8.0) starring Jimmy Stewart.  This is the first Hitchcock movie in color.

Laura came back at 7:30.  I understand she has to go back again tomorrow to pick up her new Cedula.

I gave up watching 1949’s Under Capricorn (6.2) starring Ingrid Bergman and Joseph Cotten.

I took my sleeping pills at 10:45pm and went to bed.

T-shirt of the day: It’s all for fun until somebody loses an eye.
