Just before 10pm last night I took my melatonin tablet as usual but immediately realized it was my Zopiclona sleeping table instead. I managed to stay up until 10:15. I fell asleep quickly, got up once during the night, woke/got up at 7am.
Last night I played 2 games on Chess.com, losing both.
Marcos is supposed to arrive back in Medellin today. I
wonder if he will have to self-quarantine for 14 days after he arrives.
I left the apt at met Glenn outside Otra Parte
at noon. We went next door for lunch but we learned they don’t open until
12:30. I took him to Chiclayo, the Peruvian restaurant, instead. I had
their bowl with chicken, onions, tomatoes and rice. I asked for it without the French
fries but I think the waiter forgot to write it down. I think the fried inside definitely
changes the flavor of the mix. My share of the total came to 38,000 pesos which
is about $11. From there we went to Parva for coffee where we got a
table outside.
Glenn had to leave just after 2pm because he was
meeting someone at his apt at 2:30.
Teresa beat me in parcheesi today 4 games to 3.
Donald Trump actually said this? “Right now, in a
number of states, the laws allow a baby to be born from his or her mother’s womb
in the 9th month. It is wrong, it has to change.”

The US
could see an explosion of Covid-19
cases as fall and winter set in, one expert says, joining a
chorus of health officials who have warned about the challenges of the coming
months.
Two things will likely help drive that expected winter surge,
according to Dr. Chris Murray, director of the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME).
"First,
as case counts have come down in some states, we tend to see that people become
less careful, they tend to have more contact," he said. "But then the
most important effect is the seasonality of the virus, that people go indoors,
transmission happens more."
The IHME model indicates
that the country is currently seeing about 765 daily deaths from Covid-19, but
that number could jump to 3,000 daily deaths by late December.
More
than 204,000 Americans have already died from the virus since the start of the
pandemic and more than 7 million have been infected, according to Johns Hopkins University. At
least 24 states are now reporting a rise in new cases compared to the previous
week, mostly across the US heartland and Midwest, according to data from Johns
Hopkins.
Murray's warning is one that's been repeated from several other
health officials in recent months. Over the summer, the US Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention director warned the fall and winter could be "one of the most
difficult times that we experienced in American public
health." And this week, leading infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony
Fauci urged American cities and counties to prepare for "the
challenge" of fall and winter.
An order by the chief judge of the Montana federal court on
Friday not only ousted William Perry Pendley as the top official at the Bureau
of Land Management but might also invalidate a wide range of decisions he took
to open up vast parts of the American west to oil and gas drilling.
The Trump campaign planned to make Hunter Biden a major issue in
the 2020 campaign, hoping revelations about former vice president Joe Biden’s
son would weaken the Democratic presidential candidate. Yet despite the
fact that Congressional Republicans have spent over a year accusing Biden of a
range of improprieties, a recent report from Senate Republican-led
investigations into Hunter Biden’s activities failed to gain substantial media
reaction. Which begs the question:
Why are the attacks on Hunter Biden amounting to, in
President Trump’s words, a big “nothingburger?”
This past week Senate
Republicans issued an 87-page interim report into the activities of Hunter
Biden. The report, which was issued by Republican members of the Senate Finance
and Homeland Security Committees, came after the review of over 45,000 pages of
records and interviews with eight witness who purportedly had knowledge related
to Biden’s activities. Focusing on purported business dealings Hunter Biden had
with foreign nationals during the Obama administration, much of the report
addresses Biden’s well-known service on the board of Burisma Holdings, a
Ukrainian gas company. It it also explores Biden’s contacts with other wealthy
and politically connected foreign nationals.
The biggest revelation of the report? That it doesn’t make any
credible, evidence backed accusations that Hunter Biden undertook any
illegal activities. At all.

Joke of
the day
After I retired, my
wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to Target. Unfortunately, like
most men; I found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunate, my wife is like most women - she loves to
browse. Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter from the local
Target.
Dear Mrs. Harris:
Over the past six
months your husband has caused quite a commotion in our store.
We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been forced to ban both of you from
the store.
Our complaints
against your husband, Mr. Harris, are listed below and are documented by our
video surveillance cameras:
1. June 15: He took
24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in other people's carts when they
weren't looking.
2. July 2: Set all
the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.
3. July 7: He made a
trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women's restroom.
4. July 19: Walked
up to an employee and told her in an official voice, 'Code 3 in Housewares. Get
on it right away'. This caused the employee to leave her assigned station and
receive a reprimand from her Supervisor that in turn resulted with a union
grievance, causing management to lose time and costing the company money. We
don't have a Code 3.
5. August 4: Went to
the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&Ms on layaway.
6. August 14: Moved
a, 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.
7. August 15: Set up
a tent in the camping department and told the children shoppers he'd invite
them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department to
which twenty children obliged.
8. August 23: When a
clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed, 'Why can't you
people just leave me alone?' EMTs were called.
9. September 4:
Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked
his nose.
10. September 10:
While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked the clerk where the
antidepressants were.
11. October 3:
Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly humming the 'Mission
Impossible' theme.
12. October 6: In
the auto department, he practiced his, 'Madonna Look' using different sizes of
funnels.
13. October 18: Hid
in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!'
14. October 22: When
an announcement came over the loudspeaker he assumed a fetal position and
screamed;
'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!'
15. Took a box of
condoms to the checkout clerk and asked ‘where is the fitting room’?
And last, but not
least:
16. October 23: Went
into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile; then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here.'
