A Day In The Life Of AHNC

Mea culpa for the short issue today.

Life here in Costa Rica isn't what you gringos are used to, it takes a slightly different direction -- one of seizing the moment.

My "daughter", Yerlin needed to go to Santa Cruz today, very important, so I offered to take her since I still have use of a car. Otherwise she would have to drive her motorcycle.

I also needed to just get out and mix with people. And Chinese food. Yes, Chinese food.

So, just as we are entering Santa Cruz -- there is my estranged husband who I have not laid eyes on for three years. He was walking down the main street sidewalk. I scrunched down in my seat for fear that he would see me. Yerlin was hooting and howling and said, "Maybe we should offer him a ride back to Junquillal."

Ay yi yi.

Anyway, Yerlin had success dealing with her problems after several visits to several different places. After that was over, we were totally famished. I turned to Yerlin and said, I need Chinese food!

We bolted to the Oriente, my latest fav Chinese restaurant. As usual, I took a doggy bag home, they serve too much food for me. BTW, I had 15 medium sized fried shrimp a la Milanese, with salad and potatoes for about 5,200 colones or around $9 USD. That is two meals for me.The waitress knows me so well, she even remembered my order right down to my drink, Pepsi.

Pura vida or pure life.

Hoist with his own petard.

Shakespeare's phrase, "hoist with his own petard," is an idiom that means "to be harmed by one's own plan to harm someone else" or "to fall into one's own trap."

Trump recorded having extremely lewd conversation about women in 2005
Donald Trump bragged in vulgar terms about kissing, groping and trying to have sex with women during a 2005 conversation caught on a hot microphone, saying that “when you’re a star, they let you do it,” according to a video obtained by The Washington Post.

The video captures Trump talking with Billy Bush, then of “Access Hollywood,” on a bus with the show’s name written across the side.

Putin is having a sad right now and the Clintons are having a happy. Gee, do you think this will be discussed at the debate, IF Trump shows up?

After hearing Trump brag about sexual assault, I was buttering my toast and thought -- how appropriate.

Have a great weekend and thank you for visiting.
