Tuesday, November 12, 2024

Last night I went to bed at 10pm, got up once during the night, finally waking/getting up at 6:15.

I took a Didi to Unicentro mall but traffic was so heavy I arrived 10 minutes late. Still, I had to wait 10 minutes for Jose to arrive. Jose described an experience he had with simultaneous Davivienda and Servientrega ATM withdrawals where the corresponding CER differed. We each had French toast with coffee and I got a bottle of water to go.

In the food court I had the Black pieces in the first game and quickly had an advantage but executed a combination in the wrong order and only ended up with a pawn. We agreed to a draw on the 36th move.

I had the White pieces in the 2nd game and this game went into the endgame but resigned on the 62nd move.

It was only 1:15 as I ordered a Didi and made a trip to the restroom. When it was an estimated two minutes before arriving I got up while looking at my cellphone and headed to the nearby exit. A guy passed me carrying a shotgun and I quickly realized I was in a group of three Brinks guards. I quickly moved out of their way.

I took a Didi to Viva Envigado and took escalators up to the 3rd floor. Walking near the car dealership area I noticed a store called Casa de Granjero had a window display with kittens. In Pergamino I had their large yogurt with granola, fruits and berries and a small latte.

I went downstairs to Urbania where I had a latte. I received an email from Inter-Col that showed my Visa progress as “in study” the same as I received last week. I replied to the email inquiring about that and Angie soon called me. She said my Visa application has been approved and my next step is to pay “the Ministry” 1,600,000 pesos.  I asked how to do that and she said something about I could pay in person or through their website. I asked her to email me the details which she did:

“Hello! We hereby inform you of the excellent news that the VISA application has been APPROVED.
The next step to follow is to pay the fee to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs which costs $1,600,000 COP, the payment can be made in person at Banco Sudameris or online with a Visa, MASTERCARD or PSE card through the following button

Payment of the MRE Fee

By entering the following information

Application number: 029438000060492

Email: Your personal email

The last step is to register the Colombian visa and request the foreigner's ID card from Migración Colombia, we will schedule the appointment and you must pay 65 USD for the foreigner's ID card in person.  We will send you the instructions and respective documents by email.

Once the Colombian visa is authorized, you will have up to five (5) calendar days to make the corresponding payment.

NOTE: Remember to apply for your next visa two and a half months before the expiration of your current visa.

I left at 3:30 and returned to the apt by taxi.

I was going through the Flipboard news feed on my cellphone when I found this:



When I was a teenager I had a neighbor, Freddy Zweifel (sp?), who must have had Dermatographia. I remember he could “scratch” his forehead and a scar would soon appear. I also remember another boy in our town who had a 6th finger, not fully formed or functional of course.

 

JUST FUNNY
