MOSTLY NICE DAY TODAY IN MEDELLIN

Yeah it rained again but not for as long. I got caught up in it heading from the new Palma Real C.C. to San Diego C.C. Was going to pay taxi to protect new purchases from water but after seemed like half hour with no taxi in sight in the new PR garage hoofed it to the Exito San Diego then back home to hotel and not caring to go back out again even though my mind wanted to (exhausted physically and mentally).

FARC STORY ON CNN INTERNATIONAL TODAY AT LUNCH

When I came home from lunch today just caught the tail end of this story. All I caught was when the FARC who posed as soldiers in Cali in 2002(?) persuaded the politicians to come with them to escape the perceived threat. It was sad because you saw some of the Politocos smiling like the poser Colombian soldiers were just going to temporarily interrupt them and then bring them back to Cali. Does anyone know why they aired it? I think it had to something to do with Hugo's recent negotiatio ...

Miami condos for sale. On fire! Fire!!

There have been a lot of articles in both the Miami Herald and Sun Sentinel lately regarding the real estate implosion especially among all the new condos going up downtown.

They had an article on one poor guy who purchased a 1 BR in Bal Harbour for $585,000 US. Nice place and all but $585K!!! For those who would lik ...

A half gallon of this precious commodity (more expensive than gas itself) has gone from $2.09 for a half gallon at the end of June here in south Florida to $2.55/half gal. as of yesterday! I'm going to h ...
