MSNBC's Joe Scarborough suggested that the State Department under former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton removed Algeria from a list of state sponsors of terror because the nation donated money to the Clinton Foundation, a baseless charge given that Algeria has never been on the State Department's list of terror sponsors

The Printer Has Landed
In the U.S. when you want to buy a printer, you can order it online or you go to the store, buy it and go home and install it. Ah, here in Costa Rica things are done a bit differently.
Being without a car, my friend Yvonne gave me a ride to Gollo Gollo buy the printer around 12pm. As soon as we entered the store a charming young Tico, who introduced himself as Diego, came over to help. I told him about the printers I saw on their website. He immediately turned around and picked up the model I posted on my website last Friday. He said, "It is the only one we have but later this week we'll have the other models." I told him that I'd take it! I was in and out of there in under ten minutes.
Yvonne needed some repairs done on her computer. She needed very simple things done that I was capable of, so I offered to take a look at it. She drove us to her condo in Playa Flamingo, which is on the Pacific Ocean nestled in a lagoon.
She has a lovely den where she kept her laptop, it was facing the ocean where I had to suffer looking out the window at this.
We took a break and sat on her front porch sipping on a refreshing glass of orange and carrot juice by Dos Pinos. It was my first time trying that combo and it was delish. We had this view to enjoy. Once the rainy season begins those mountains are a lush green.
I was able to fix 75% of Yvonne's laptop problems. Yvonne said, let's go celebrate and have dinner. We can celebrate your successful printer fundraiser and that I got back my Google Chrome and other programs due to you!
We walked about 25 winding steps up to the restaurant in her condo complex. How convenient. We had a front row table to view the Pacific.
Yvonne suggested the Special of the Day, Mussels in Wine.
By the time I got home it was after six. Next thing I know my girlfriend Yerlin came by to see the printer and brought some wine!
I was asleep by 8pm. I awoke at 1:30am startled. A quake hit in the central valley but I felt and heard the roof joists creak, even though we are on the other side of the country.
No wonder people celebrate simple things here. You never know when the big one will hit.
Thank you, dear viewers for my much needed printer, and the for lovely day shopping for it.
