This will be post 304 or 305 something like that 151 pages, 75,653 words man that’s a lot BS. It’s Monday and I know most of you are off to work after enjoying the weekend but guess what WE DON’T WORK, so go enjoy that coffee and the boss’s Monday morning glare while Jeff and I enjoy a day of playing with Hari. Look at it his way if you’re lucky most of you will be able to take an extra week’s vacation by the time your 66 years old (HA,HA) now I know everybody hates me but we still don’t have to work. The weekend was quiet and relaxing nothing going on the week looks the same way for now but it’s early and you never know. We hope to have some funny stuff to talk about during the Republican convention this week because the rest will just be a lot of overpaid politicians trying to make you vote for them so your life will get better in some way. Don’t think I feel this way just about Republicans it all politicians, Jeff says he’s an independent, meaning he vote for those people he really thinks will at least try to change some things although now he thinks it’s too late for anything to really change without some sort of revolution. To many people think theirs is the right way and the rest of us, if we do have an idea, are wrong. Personally I think the world would be better places if we let the animals (especially cats) run it. Well I better stop now before Jeff gets involved and starts on one of his rants till tomorrow then CIAO.

Well I got up an hour ago and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky now it’s totally cloudy and looks like rain, that folks is Colombian weather. The only good thing about this is the birds fly close to the building and even land on the window sills once I awhile. Remember when I yesterday when I talked about the bad headlines well here are two from today that are so opposite it’s hilarious. First there is the loss of a national icon then Snookie has her baby. Now I can understand Neal Armstrong’s dying is a nation news story of great importance, he was a real American hero, but Snookie has her baby who cares? I for one don’t how is this fatso having a baby national news on the same level with Neal’s death. I meant what I said about the world going to shit and this proves it. There was another story about the women of TOGO going on a sex strike to protest against the president, see what I mean how is this important. Well I’m all wound up so I think I’ll go and try to catch a bird on the balcony CIAO.

Wow the world is really going to shit, I know I’m a little late with this post but I don’t care, first some crazy person shoots their ex- boss in front of the Empire State building, than an oil refinery in Venezuela blows up and now Neil Armstrong is dead. That’s the three in a row, hopefully the world will get some good news now, it could sure use it. Well I’ve passed the three hundred post mark with this dumb blog hope your all enjoying it, I know it’s a pain the you know what but somebody has to do it. I hate to do this when the news is all bad I like it when it dumb stuff and we can all laugh about it. They went to Medellin today got Hari a present got me some food on sale came back did food shopping now it’s time to relax. There are no plans for tomorrow except I think Jeff want to got Bello and get his hair cut, but that’s a maybe thing. Well I’m going of to the closet and be depressed for awhile I’ get over it around sun down when the bird start feeding again in the mean time have a great Saturday Night CIAO.

I’m back just for a quick update there were at least three or four shot and the shooter is dead no names or reason yet you can bet the news agencies will begin speculating on motive very soon. The comments on yahoo are some of the dumbest ones yet but stories like this tend to bring out the nut Jobs later CIAO.

It’s Friday folks and the news from the US is not good some one shot some people near the Empire State Building in New York the story is sketchy right now if I learn more later I’ll post it. We had another three o’clock thunder storm yesterday but it didn’t rain all night it looks like it might rain now but by the time I’m finished posting this it could be sunny. The weekend is shaping up to slow I guess it’s because ti the middle of the pay period and no one has any money. I don’t know why but one of the churches down here decided to shoot of fireworks starting at 5am this morning, I don’t know about you but me religion is sleep and they violated my right to worship as I please. Jeff wants to cook fried chicken tonight but I don’t think they have enough oil, boy am I wondering around the topics this morning that’s what happens when I don’t get enough sleep. Ok I’m going to go check on the shooting story and I might be back later because Jeff will probably want to rant about see you then CIAO.

gets him every time

It’s Thursday and let me tell you it has rained from three o’clock yesterday afternoon to 8:30 this morning. It was thundering and lightening heavy rain, the little stream across the street went up 4 feet in 30 min. and lightening Macy’s fourth of July fireworks has nothing on an average thunder storm down here. But now the sun is shining and in about an hour you won’t even be able to tell that it rained at all. They aren’t going to Medellin today but they are going into Bello later today so Ruby can pick up her new glasses and Jeff can get his eyes checked. I’ve been acting a bit under the weather the last couple of days just o get more attention from Jeff and it worked he’s a sucker for sad eyes. The weekend is coming and it doesn’t look as if anything special is going to happen but you never know. This house is a little off the beaten path so we don’t get people just showing up like in the other house they call and make sure we’re home first. Jeff hasn’t paid too much attention to the political scene in the US (thank God) so he hasn’t been doing any ranting lately, but I’m sure that will change in the near future. Well he’s getting ready to walk up to Hari’s house so it’s time for me to say CIAO.

REMEMBER THIS

Wednesday the sun is shining and all is well Jeff is listening to the black keys and I’m trying to think. Sometimes his selection in music leaves me a little lost, sense it sounds like members of my family crying on the back fence. Well we made to the halfway point of the week and nothing is really happening. Jeff walk to John’s house yesterday and today he’s doing nothing but complaining about how much his legs hurt, just because we happen to live on the side of a mountain he expects sympathy, what a wimp, Hari is on his way here and he doesn’t complain about the walk. Tomorrow they’re going to Medellin to do a little banking and some shopping for me so the post might be a little late or maybe we’ll take the day off. Well since I got up sp early I really have nothing more to say so CIAO.

It’s raining the internet keeps crashing and Jeff won’t leave any closet doors open for me this is a sad Tuesday. Anyhow yesterday they walked up the hill towards Johns house to see the kite flying (more like kite crashing) there were far to many kites at different altitudes it was fun watching how discourteous everyone was and how many kites were lost or damaged, but everybody seemed to just shrug their shoulders and launch another kite. Of course Jeff didn’t bring his camera which he has a tendency to do if he doesn’t think there will be anything interesting to see and he was probably right, I mean those kites were so high up I doubt they would show up on the picture as anything more than dots. As you can see from the photos of this morning it’s raining and doesn’t look like it will stop until later today, which means Jeff and Ruby’s plans to go to Medellin today are off until tomorrow and so am I CIAO

I’d tell you it was a really beautiful day except I can’t see across the valley because of the low hanging clouds left over from last night’s rain. Today is Monday and it’s a holiday for people down here, they get a lot of long weekends down here, and the take advantage of them. People work at least six and a half days most of the time except for the Christmas season, the they work if they’re ot to hung over. When they get a holiday they really take advantage of it any of the tourist spots are crowded and if the weather is exceptionally good then the cable car up the mountain might be closed by ten o’clock because of the long line. Whatever people decide to do today or if they’re returning  home from somewhere they’ll be getting a late start because of the visibility in this area, but it should get better in a couple of hours. I have a complaint about our new home there are too many dam dogs and not enough cats and that gets my dander up but not much I can do about it except not let Jeff get any ideas about getting a dog. Jeff has to go out with Ruby to by some medicine for her asthma so I’ll be say bye for now maybe I’ll be back later Oh picture is from last night’s sunset CAIO.

I guess you noticed there was no post Saturday, Ruby got Jeff up early to go and make appointment at the doctors and then walk to Exito to get her hair cut. She then proceeded to take Jeff on a walking tour of Bello refusing at anytime to say she didn’t know where they were (I thought only guys did that), so by the time all this was done it was three in the afternoon and Jeff was too tired to anything except lay in his recliner, he’s a little better today but we’ll have to see where Ruby has him going today, any bets? Tomorrow is a holiday so I expect someone in the family will come visiting today or e-mail us with pictures of the great place they went to day, I don’t think Jeff has plans to anywhere other than his chair. It has rained ever night sense we’ve been in our new home which is OK, it’s how we get those great sunrises, the day’s are usually hot and the humidity is somewhat high. I can tell about the humidity because both Jeff and Ruby complain about their arthritis all day. Well the sun has finally gotten to my window so it’s time for me to take a little nap while I can CIAO.
