Oxygen

My business associate is sick.  One major cold/flu thing.

The people in bogota think the elevation (8500 feet) and lack of oxygen is making it feel worse than it is.  I don't know.  He looks pretty miserable!

They sell small bottles of oxygen here.  I don't think we could get them in the US or Panama without a doctors prescription.  I hear that a couple of whiffs of pure oxygen makes you feel more vital and alive.

I think I will try to sneak a whiff when he is not looking.

I am working on my own today because he is in bed.  A little scary because he is the lead man on this project.

There is a sense of urgency to get things done because we are on the road and paying big bucks for hotels and food.  The pressure is on!

The world of big buck business is new to me.  These folks talk about millions of dollars like you and I would talk about hundreds.  Weird!

The say, "we can throw a few million at it and see what happens."

Hey, throw some this way if it is that easy!


Here's a picture of the local country side a short distance from Bogota.  A lot of clouds but very little rain.  And the humidity is reasonable. Not like home in Boquete where the humidity in the rainy season is off the chart!

Well, back to work.   That sounds strange after 3 1/2 years of retirement!
