A Travel Story

Once while flying United, I think from Frankfurt to Washington I was
watching the safety film and was wondering if the flight attendants in
the film were real people or actors, especially this one guy, he was
really good. Well when we landed at Washington and I was on my way to
my next gate I looked next to me and there was that guy, and yes he was
a United flight attendant. I was going to say something to him, but he
looked like he was in a hurry.

Book Corner - The Bourne Betrayal

Pages 496
Author Eric Van Lustbader

Well, it was another novel in the Bourne whatever series. Although you
would expect Bourne series to be far fetched, this one just put me off,
I thought it was just way out of bounds. Not sure if this one will ever
make it to film.

Beautiful Day In The Park

Very nice day today, low 60's and sunny. Went to the Sunday feria at
Parque Rodo which is near my apartment. I like to go to the hambueguesa
stands (Roach coach) and get a burger con queso for about 30 pesos and a
drink and watch the street actors, be it musicians or in the case today
a young couple doing gymnastic dancing and such, very entertaining.
Afterwards I like to get some hot candied peanuts and walk to the beach
then back to the apartment.

Funny thing about the gymnastics couple, after the show the young man
went around with a bad for donations and kids and adults alike were
dropping coins in the bag, occasionally someone would drop a 20 peso
bill in the bag (Around $1 USD) and he would take it out and make a big
deal about it and everyone would clap and I thought, wow, people in the
U.S. merely sit on the sidewalk and stick out a paper cup and make more
than that. I know they couldn't have hardly made more than a few
dollars, I felt bad that I didn't have more pesos to give them.

Long Distance Tech Support

I'm often giving long distance tech support, mostly to family, but this
was a first. I talked Chris through securing her cousins wireless
access point, and I have to hand it to Chris as she pulled it off
keeping me cool and now no more neighbors tapping into her bandwidth!
