Last night I went to bed at 10:30pm, got up once at 3:15, was awakened by a calf cramp at 4:30, finally waking/getting up at 7:15.
Last night I payed 4 games of chess on Chess.com, winning
2 and losing 2. This time I had the black pieces in 3 out of the 4 games. My rating
is still the same – 1515.
Last night I charged the external battery. Some night
soon I’m sure we’ll be giving it a try.
Teresa left at 9:15 for her walk. She returned at
10:30 and we went down to Mercado Madrid to buy mainly fruits and vegetables.
While cruising the aisles I heard “pancakes with blueberries” said in English. I
asked the guy where he’s from. He’s from West Virginia and he’s here visiting
with his girlfriend.
I received an email from Alex’s son living in Tokyo. I’m
going to try to help him obtain some documents and answer their questions.
My son sent me a $75 Amazon gift certificate for my birthday.
I depleted most of the battery on my cellphone then plugged
in my new external battery and it worked fine.
I was watching a movie that Teresa wanted to see on
our new Amazon Firestick so I missed the “dueling debates” but I watched
commentary afterwards on CNN. I was so tired…but I managed to struggle to stay awake
until 10:30.
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) told the New York Times on
Thursday that he spent several days in the intensive care unit after checking
into the hospital with COVID-19, and that he was "wrong not to wear a
mask" at the White House.
The
coronavirus is surging, the recovery is flagging, and the economy
desperately needs more stimulus. Put the blame squarely on President Trump and
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for the fact that help hasn't arrived.
It
makes no sense to blame House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Two weeks ago, the
House passed a $2.2 trillion package that would include $1,200 stimulus checks, $600
per week in enhanced unemployment benefits, more than $400 billion in aid for
pandemic-devastated state and local governments, and nearly $300 billion for
education and child care. Pelosi (D-Calif.) has done her job.
But
McConnell (R-Ky.) refuses even to bring that bill up for consideration. He's
far too busy rushing Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett through the
confirmation process to worry about the millions of Americans who have neither
jobs nor prospects — and will slide into poverty unless more help arrives.
The
US has 7,894,994 ð 7,948,603 ð 8,004,070 coronavirus cases
with 215,700+ ð 216,600+ ð 217,300+ deaths.
Per
Medellin Guru, as of this afternoon Colombia has a total of 924,098 ð 930,159 ð 936,982 cases with 28,457 deaths. Medellin has 78,230 ð 78,940 ð 79,831 cases, an increase of 888 from October 14th
to 15th. Envigado has a total of 5,230 cases, an increase of 117 from
October 14th to 15th. It appears new infections have plateaued
once again.
Joke of
the day
Two guys are
bungee-jumping one day. The first guy says to the second.
"You
know, we could make a lot of money running our own bungee-jumping service in
Mexico."
The second guy
thinks this is a great idea, so the two pool their money and buy everything
they’ll need – a tower, an elastic cord, insurance, etc.
They travel
to Mexico and begin to set up on the square.
As they are
constructing the tower, a crowd begins to assemble. Slowly, more and more
people gather to watch them at work.
The first
guy jumps. He bounces at the end of the cord, but when he comes back up, the
second guy notices that he has a few cuts and scratches.
Unfortunately,
the second guy isn’t able catch him, he falls again, bounces and comes back up
again.
This time,
he is bruised and bleeding. Again, the second guy misses him.
The first
guy falls again and bounces back up. This time, he comes back pretty messed up
– he’s got a couple of broken bones and is almost unconscious.
Luckily, the
second guy finally catches him this time and says, "What happened? Was the
cord too long?"
The first
guy lifts his head weakly and says, "No, the cord was fine. But tell me... what the
heck is a piñata?"
