Lovely, sunny, crisp autumn day. I walked into town to pick up a $3,000 Western Union transfer (cost: $6) so that now we officially have enough money in the bank here to pay for our new car, which should arrive in the next few days. From where, I have no idea. We ended up with the Meriva in 2009 because it was available: with other makes and models we might have preferred, we were told to “come back in January when the new cars arrive.” At $1,000+ per month for a nothing-special rental car, we did not like that idea.
Pretty pic.
Thanks – sun was behind the tree, and so washed out the top-right, which was beautiful blue sky. Days like this are precious, and happily in Uruguay almost completely free of the pervasive atmospheric geo-engineering up north. Where we lived last in the Untied Snakes – Spokane – I often watched as bright blue morning sky became criss-crossed with “con” trails, only to devolve in the afternoon into a gray miasma. They didn’t exist in Mexico when we moved there in early 2007, but by 2009 the “con” trails were infrequent but regular. Almost all, I’m pretty sure – flightradar24 didn’t yet exist – from US commercial flights.
