Recovery Day #33!

Last night I went to bed at 11pm, took a little while to fall asleep, woke up at 4:15, changed my AD, watched a little of the Olympics, did a little work on the computer and returned to bed at 5am. I quickly fell back asleep finally waking/getting up at 8am.

Troyclough and Michael resigned their games increasing my rating to 1573, my highest yet.

I had a nap after breakfast.

We each had 2 leftover ribs for lunch along with a salad that Teresa made.

I think we hit 84 degrees today.

I left the apt at 3pm in jeans and a t-shirt. I felt it was too warm to walk to the mall so I asked the portero to call me a taxi. A few minutes later he reported that he couldn’t get one. I walked to the mall, relieved to find that the last block that I’m usually walking in the sun was now in shade because the sun was behind the building. I printed some chess notes, recycled some plastic bottles and had coffee at Santa Leña. When I left I bought a package of 48 eggs for 36,400 pesos then returned to the apt by taxi.

For supper I had the last 2 ribs.

Teresa told me that Laura said the US embassy won’t be issuing any new tourist visas until 2023.

I finished season 4 of The Handmade’s Tale.

 

The New York Times’ 7-day average of new daily infections and deaths has the US with 71,621 ð 77,266 ð 78,357 new cases and 321 ð 300 ð 307 new deaths.

Per Medellin Guru, as of yesterday, Colombia has a total of 9,029 new cases with 291 deaths.  Medellin has 743 new cases from July 30^th to 31^st. Envigado has 40 new cases from July July 30^th to 31^st.

 

Joke of the day

The sum of the cabbage is directly proportional to the square root of the carrot divided by the mayo. That is Cole’s Law.
