The U.S. anti-Syrian refugee movement will cause more anti-American backlash

GOP/NRA Arm Terrorists. But That's Not Any Of My Business.
The NRA — and their gun-loving Republican cohorts — are refusing once more to stop terrorists intent on getting armed in the U.S.A.

Pura Vida

Today started out simple enough. A quick run to Tamarindo and home again.

Aha.

The weather had other ideas. Historically, the rainy season should have ended on November 15. Well, not any more. After I arrived home the clouds started gathering. It was pouring rain just a few miles away and the cable was going on and off. Miraculously, the power stayed on.

Here is what it looked like about 10 minutes ago, facing SW.
.


Right now there is a steady rain. I bet any Syrian refugee would give their eyeteeth to have such problems.
