How much can they prop him up? I don't even know how he's ambulatory at this point. That MRI had to be for some kind of stroke. And then there's the congestive heart failure and all the diuretics he must be on. Hurry Jesus!

Yeah. If this pissing match doesn't let up, I'm afraid Petro will toss us all out. And we've got nowhere to go.

The Venezuelans can't wait for war because it means no more Maduro, but Colombia s seem disinterested, like nothing will happen. But we're definitely feeling some anxiety around all of it.

We're getting worried.

The cost of living in Colombia. If you choose to get friendly with the locals, you have to force yourself to recognize and accept that it's a totally different culture and you can't change it. And it can be heartbreaking. A local friend was beaten and sent to the hospital yesterday by loansharks he couldn't repay. And they promise they're going back today to collect. Or else it will be worse. And other than come up with the money, which I don't have, there's nothing I can do except wait for the worst.

Some days, and today's one of them, I could burn the entire country down with my rage.

Sometimes I hate living here with the intensity of a thousand suns. I'll put details in the reply, because it's sad and there's violence. Not towards me or the other Mr, but to a good friend.

We had a 4.9 today, just a week after a 5.4. I was walking Curly and didn't feel today's but last week it woke us all up at 2am

That wallpaper would drive me absolutely nuts. There's something not right about floor to ceiling koi.

I wake every morning around 5 to take Curly out. And I obviously get up before the homeless because they're still asleep in merchants' doorways as we walk by. And there's one thing I've noticed in particular. They almost always have their shoes off when they're asleep. I can never figure out why. Now you know what I think about at 5am.

They're not real good at fine tuning. I told it to replace something on the clothesline with a pillowcase behind the crow for better contrast. I guess it helps to be very specific, but even then it screws up.

I don't know if I'd ever pay for a subscription, but I got 6 months of ChatGPT pro for free and I've been creating and editing images and I have to say that I'm pretty impressed. Same goes for nano banano from Google. I'm still learning what to tell it and how to tell it, and both often go terribly wrong, but it's fun. I also told Google AI that I wanted it to create an app to automate sizing to different aspect ratios and it created an app for me in about 2 minutes. This was supposed to be a black and white photo with the gold ring, but somehow it decided I needed some green, which I actually like.
