I got up once during the night, finally waking/getting up at 8am.

At the gym I completed all my exercises in about an hour and 20 minutes.  As I was getting my things out of my locker the power went out.  Outside I walked down the escalator to the 3^rd level and by the time I got to the “recycling machine” the power was back on.  I put my water bottle into the machine and it gave me a coupon good for a 6mil discount to Sarku’s.

Back at the apt I took my shower and after lunch we took a 30-minute nap.

We left the apt at 3:30 and took a taxi to Mayorista where we bought mainly vegetables and meat.  I did buy a can of Van Kamps Pork & Beans that I bought because at Pricesmart you have to buy such a large number.

Today my step count was 8,580.  My goal is to do between 7,000 and 10,000 each day.

Joke of the day

Airman Jones was assigned to the induction center where he was to advise new recruits about their government benefits, especially their GI insurance.

It wasn't long before Captain Smith noticed that Airman Jones had almost a 100% record for insurance sales, which had never happened before.

Rather than ask about this, the Captain stood in the back of the room and listened to Jones's sales pitch.

Jones explained the basics of the GI Insurance to the new recruits, and then said: "If you have GI Insurance and go into battle and are killed, the government has to pay $200,000 to your beneficiaries. If you don't have GI insurance, and you go into battle and get killed, the government has to pay only a maximum of $6000."

"Now," he concluded, "which group do you think they are going to send into battle first?"
