Hi folks: 5pm-ish here as I started this at the MIA airport.
Some comments on Friday’s earlier posts:
As I deserved. I was kidding of course, but sometimes that comes across a bit heavy-handed. Sorry if I stomped my clodhoppers on you.
But long-term tenants who’re paying 20% more are even better. Even if they have to go through 100% turnover once to achieve that. Jackasses the lot of them. The future will have a lot of de facto monopolies structured so they don’t fall foul of US anti-trust law that hasn’t been updated in a literal century. Brace yourself; that ride has just barely left the loading station.
The other day I had a dream that involved both Mom & Dad. First time that’s ever happened. Dad’s been dead 26 years and Mom 17. The dream was set long after I was grown and they were divorced and living in different cities. Somehow they were nearby one another, although not interacting and I interacted with both of them separately. An odd experience for sure.
Yaay! You are awesome. Not that all of that is due to you, but a material fraction of it is.
I am not an RVer. But having poked my nose into that world, and living most of my life in areas where those can be popular. …
IME there are people who are all but homeless existing in a raggedy assed RV that’s essentially a motorized shopping cart for their scrounged crap while they move from city park to city park whenever they are rousted by the local cops. Those folks would settle in RV parks if they were allowed and could afford the fees.
Professionally speaking …
Do NOT ever leave your hometown with only one credit card. Take two, intending to use just one. If somehow that one gets shut down you will be in very bad shape without another to fall back on. To be sure, already having air travel & ship travel paid for you won’t as bad as you might otherwise be, but I can tell you it will suck far harder than you expect if you find yourself CC-less early in this trip.
Take 2; they’re small.
Yaay for cheap fix on cars!!!
As to me:
it’s now 2am Sat in Medellin and I’ve only read and replied to the thread up to about 3pm Fri. Sadly the internet was inop on the airplane or I’d have been caught up to Fri evening when we landed at ~9pm. But now I’m way behind on you folks and will try to catch up as able.
Quite the party central in downtown Medellin. An amazing evening was had.
Not sure how my Sat morning will go. I have a half-day event reserved but may sleep through that and pick up my planned itinerary in the afternoon. Or not; vacation is like that.
Cheers all!!
