This is one of the great pleasures of being retired!
There are a lot of interesting people here...and I get to meet them if I take the time.
I had a conversation with the wife of a gringo builder who has a good reputation. Now that was interesting! We decided he needed to start a blog helping people with their construction projects. Talk about a needed service!
I bumped into a man who is into baking bread in wood-fired, stone ovens. Uhh?? He claims there are several people doing this here. What??? .
I met a civil engineer who has worked all over the world. He is traveling around Latin America for a while. He is fluent in Spanish and he has many stories. What an interesting life! It makes me feel that I missed out on so much when I was younger.
On Saturday, I drove to the beach just for the hell of it. Traffic was light being Saturday so it was a fast trip. When I got there it looked like sun for a half hour, then clouds. I decided to forgo the "Day Rate" at the resort and parked at the public access road and walked the beach for 30 minutes, then left.
It was a fun trip...and fast too.
Tonight, I am going to Amigo's to watch the Broncos play Pittsburg on Monday Night Football. The only problem is that we are on Eastern Standard Time now, with the switch back from Daylight Savings Time, so the game starts at 8:30. Way too late for me. We'll see if I make it to the second half.
I talked to Yella yesterday in Colorado. She reports that she had a shower with a flood of water ANY TEMPERATURE she wanted. Then she went to Walmart and broke out in a consumer frenzy wanting to buy 6 of everything. She had to smack herself around to stop it.
I do remember feeling that we couldn't get hardly anything we wanted when we first got here. Now I can't remember what we wanted.
That is a telling perspective on the States.
Maybe we should revisit studying the rise and fall of nations in history.
