Wednesday July 17, 2013  update #515

I awoke early again with my mind rolling over some rebuttal arguments to a new proposal from our Coopera investors group.  I don’t want to get into specifics on this blog but I certainly felt they were taking some very wrong approaches that would harm us even more in the long run.  My position is if the Government is giving back 100% of funds to 98% of the account-holders in the Credit Union, then we should be insisting on the same treatment.  Nothing more, nothing less.

There is no firm information whether the balance of the businesses are being liquidated or not, at least not yet apparently, but if they do liquidate, we could then have the option of buying back those businesses and keeping the workers and farmers, etc...  It is a noble idea, but we need to have our money to do such a thing.   It took me all morning to formulate my thoughts into a coherent proposal for sending.

Bella was off to Bridge Club and I received the initial proposal and menu offerings from Villa San Carlos.  I must have attended different meeting because the menu was quite a bit different than what we were proposing yesterday.  That took more time to go through the proposal carefully and confer with my colleague.

Then I received a synopsis of the Hearts Of Gold meeting yesterday and again I thought I had been to a different meeting.  At least the many changes were seemingly all positive in this case.

I then went down to read my Dan Brown book and soon got the sinking feeling that I had read it before.  I was nodding off because I was so mentally exhausted that I conked out with the Boys for a while.

I took the #16 to meet the gang after Bridge for Chinese food at the Chifa Hillman.  This bus driver was skipping stops, not letting people off, and making detours, so he was getting most people quite upset.

The Chinese food is actually very good except they made a serious mistake and put shrimp in one dish when instructed not to.  Having a dead patron over such an error wouldn’t do much for their reputation.  Bella decided it wasn’t worth the fuss, she just didn’t have any of that dish.  We certainly had enough food to go around.

The return bus ride on the #16 was better but they are still detouring before Solano.  It took quite  while before the bus stop announcing system got back on the right sequence.

It was a dreary dull day again today and I was too busy to dig the camera out, so please enjoy more Pase Del Nino photos.

That was the day's excitement,   Cheers, Al   Please see all new photos at http://souvenircuenca.blogspot.com/
