Wednesday, August 6, 2025

Last night I went to bed at 10pm, got up once at 4am, finally waking/getting up at 6:15.

I left the apt at 8am and completed my workout in Smarfit.

I had a latte in Ganso y Castor but today I tried something different. I put two peanuts (one large and one small) in the crook of the tree. I wanted to see how the squirrel would handle this. Would it:

1)   Eat both peanuts there? I doubt it because it would be too exposed.

2)   Put one peanut in its cheek and take the other in its jaws? A chipmunk can do it but I don’t know if a squirrel can.

3)   Take one peanut and soon return for the other? This choice makes more sense.

The answer: #3, but surprisingly it took the smaller peanut and came back 10 minutes later (yes, I timed it) for the larger one. It actually makes sense because it can eat the smaller one faster, then return for the larger one before it gets taken by another squirrel. Are squirrels that smart?

I left at 10am and returned to the apt.

I see pigeon chicks are called squabs, among other things. Today I got a photo of both parents visiting.



I lost a game to Mr_Blamo costing me 18 points and dropping my rating to 1566. I only had an accuracy rating of 61.9 so I deserved to lose that game.

I asked ChatGPT, “On June 13, 2025 I ordered 4 bottles of Joint Support from Arazo Nutrition for $104.84. They were sent by USPS to my ship forwarder in Miami whose address is 7864 Northwest 62nd Street, Miami, FL 33166 and the tracking number is 9434650105797000375821. According to the USPS website the package was delivered on June 18th and it says “Delivered to Agent, Left with Individual, Miami Florida zip code 33166”. It doesn’t show the address it was delivered to but I don’t know if that’s unusual or not. The point is my ship forwarder has no knowledge of its delivery. What do I do next to learn what happened to my order?”

I spent some time chatting with Innovation Corp in Bogota and spoke to their warehouse manager in Florida. My best bet is the USPS screwed up the delivery. In the future I’m going to need to rely on Fed-Ex and UPS to ensure my orders get delivered.

I left the apt at 3pm and stopped at the Bancolombia kiosk where I printed the receipt for the DirecTV hardware and an analysis of the Arizona Cardinals first 3 2025 draft picks as a gift for Marcos. Around the corner I encountered a new cellphone store, open two days, where I bought a USB-A to USB-C converter for 16mil. I continued on to Eduardo Madrid Panaderia where I had a latte while waiting for Teresa. The ceiling fans did an awful job on drying out my eyes not to mention giving me some cold symptoms.

Teresa arrived at 5:30 and had a latte and we shared a chicken pastry and cheese muffin. Teresa informed me that tomorrow is a holiday, Battle of Boyaca day, so workers will be off Thursday thru Sunday. And I think there’s another holiday in a week or so.

We left at 6:30 and returned to the apt.

I watched the second and third episodes of Reacher on Stremio and I’m reading Lee Child’s Better Off Dead (Jack Reacher #26). I understand you can pay an author to use your name in their book but the name of the bad guy in his book I’m reading is Dendoncker, first name Waad. No, really!

 

FUNNY

  1. Terry, nice photo of the doves, thanks. What did ChatGPT suggest as the next step?? I will vote that the little red guys are that smart (-: I read that energy drinks are good at increasing mental abilities, concentration to improve test scores and memory for the period all those chemicals they have are active in the body. Your next expirement could be to drink one with breakfast next time you meet for breakfast and chess.
    As alway, thanks for sharing your life with us, Jack W
