Update. Apparently Venezuela is being strong-armed into releasing some of it's biggest political prisoners. This is big news. If the opposition is being freed, it could signal the beginning of the end for the regime.

I haven't been in over 25 years but even back then it was one of the culinary centers of Mexico. I kept pushing for us to move there but it never worked out. We once flew from Oaxaca to Puerto Escondido on Air Oaxaca and the plane was so old it had bench seats and curtains on the windows. I'm not even sure there were seat belts.

Interesting to see what will happen. Rodrigo is now president and apparently supported by Trump even though she's a big player in the regime. Also interesting to see what Diosdado Cabello will do, as he runs a lot of the military factions, plus the police. Supposedly Cabello has been told if he doesn't fall in line, he'll be the next strike.

One of the millions of talking heads on one of the platforms said that Cuba is entirely dependent on Venezuelan oil and if it deliveries stop Cuba will fail without any US intervention at all.

The regime is so entrenched in every aspect of venezuelan life it will take years if not decades to become a stable democracy.

A friend went to the annual Radish Festival in Oaxaca.

I'm getting serial killer vibes just from the hair. Someone should be digging up his back yard.

January 6th. Gone. Every trace removed.

Since we didn't have anything Christmas when we got here, I bought a fake tree and a box of 150 ornaments, and lights. The ornaments are plastic and they look like glass but I can rip them off the tree and just toss them back in the box without worrying about breaking anything. De-Christmassing took 20 minutes, including refolding the tree. Fake Christmas is the best Christmas.

The Colombian president made a speech today calling the Trump administration as "a clan of pedophiles trying to destroy democracy in Colombia." A clan of pedophiles. Sounds about right.

I like the old ones. These days it's Ernst Lubitch's pre-code comedy Trouble In Paradise, with Miriam Hopkins and Herbert Marshall as thieves in love.
