Last night I went to bed at 10:30, fell asleep quickly, got up twice during the night, fell back asleep quickly, finally waking/getting up at 6:45am.

Internet seems slow this morning. I did a speed test and it’s only 13Mbps where it’s supposed to be 50-60Mbps.

I met Marcos outside his apt at 8:15. We walked to Parque Envigado where I stopped at the copy center to pay my 3,500peso debt. The problem is I didn’t see the female owner who allowed me to leave without paying the other day. I saw the male owner but I didn’t want to pay him and have her think I never paid them. The bookstore didn’t open until 9am so we had coffee at one of the cafes I used to frequent. We left at 9:05 and they were just turning on the lights as we entered the bookstore. We both exchanged books for 2mil each. On our return  I picked up 3 bags of milk at the little grocery store and Marcos went on to Mercado Madrid.

I had just come out of my shower when I heard Fire Truck sirens. I looked out the window and saw a motorcycle on fire right outside the entrance to the car dealership parking lot. It took a couple minutes for the firemen to hook up to a hydrant but by then the moto was consumed even though it didn’t take long for them to put out the fire.

Teresa called me at 12:15 and we had lunch at Asados Rogelio for 19mil each.

We reached the mid-80s today.

I had a 2-hour chess lesson with Juan Castro.

I beat Teresa in parcheesi today 4 games to 3.

Another day without rain.

Joke of the day

Telling a chick about my ability to guess what day a woman was born just by feeling her breasts.
"Really" she said. “I’d like to see that. Give it a try, then."
After about thirty seconds of fondling she said, "Come on now! On what day was I born?"
"Yesterday," I said.
