Last night I went to bed at 10:30, fell asleep
quickly, got up twice during the night, woke up at 3:15 with a calf cramp, finally
waking/getting up at 7:15.
Last night I played 4 games on Chess.com, winning 1
and losing 3. My rating is now 1467.
Glenn texted me about a café at Transversal 32Sur
#32-70. I checked Google Maps and it looks like its just east of Aymará.
I watched the first 20 minutes of the Today
show then went for my walk. The dealership is filling the parking lot at the
end of the street with cars. I walked through the La Buena Mesa back streets then
over to Eduardo Madrid bakery. They still don’t have any indoor seating. I walked
to Aymará and headed east. I found the café 2 blocks east of Aymará. The door
was open and it’s just a garage café. A young man was putting out the first of
2 or 3 small tables. It also seemed like the tables might be in the sun.
I walked back to Aymará and continued my usual route
down to Avenida Las Vegas and back to the apt. It turned out I was only out for
about 45 minutes today.
We left the apt about 3pm and took a taxi to Clinica de
Medellin where Teresa picked up some test results. We took another taxi to
Pricesmart where we picked up 622mil worth of groceries. They no longer have
packing boxes and I forgot to bring my reusable bags so we had to make do.
We shared some chicken wings in their deli then took a
taxi back to the apt.
Journalist
Bob Woodward on Tuesday said in all of his years reporting on nine different
presidents, he has "never seen anything like" President Donald Trump's mishandling
of the pandemic.
"Two hundred thousand Americans dying. I think in covering
nine presidents, I've never seen anything like it," Woodward told Jeff
Zucker, the chairman of WarnerMedia News and Sports, at the Citizen by
CNN 2020 conference.
"The visitation of the medical nightmare on the American
population is staggering, stunning. It's on his head, and he did not do enough.
He just didn't," Woodward said.
If you are reading this in the United States, you are
experiencing a disaster—maybe more than one. Hurricane Sally hammered Alabama
and the Florida panhandle last week, submerging homes and leaving tens of
thousands without power. The West Coast is still wreathed in smoke from its
worst fire season ever by acres burned, during which entire towns have been
incinerated. Coronavirus cases are spiking in Wisconsin, but major disasters
are layered on top of the coronavirus pandemic everywhere. “For the first time
in American history, all 50 states, the District of Columbia, the Seminole
Tribe of Florida and five territories have been approved for major disaster
declarations for the same event,” according to a FEMA spokesperson.
Cindy McCain formally endorsed Joe Biden for president
on Tuesday, calling the former Vice President the only "candidate in this
race who stands up for our values as a nation."
Since I have a blood test early tomorrow I had nothing
to eat in the evening.

Per
Medellin Guru, as of this afternoon Colombia has a total of 770,435 ð 777,537 ð 784,268 cases with 24,746 deaths. Medellin has 61,117 ð 61,634 ð 62,217 cases, an increase of 581 from September 22nd

Joke of
the day
A female
researcher was writing her thesis about the effects of long army service and sexual
function.
In one of
her first meetings with war veterans, some still serving, some honorably
discharged, she decides to pose a somewhat delicate question.
"Can
you please tell me, and don't be shy, when was the last time you had intercourse?"
Most of them
mumbled some embarrassed reply. Only one man, a general, stood tall and said
"1956 ma'am."
The woman,
taken back by this answer said "1956?! That long?!"
"Yes
ma'am."
The woman
felt terrible for the general, who was actually a good-looking gentleman and
decided to break his long dry streak herself.
She invites
him to her apartment for dinner after the meeting.
He agreed,
and after a nice meal, the two made passionate love for an hour.
Afterward,
exhausted, the woman cuddled up to the army general afterward and whispered:
"Well, you sure haven't forgotten anything since 1956..."
The general looked at her confused
and said: "Well I sure hope not. It's only 23:30 now!"
