I was awake early enough and got to work on my chores. This little secretarial chair I use is not
conducive to a back injury recovery so basically I aggravated my condition
today.
Bella was off to her charity crochet and knit group this
morning.
The drugs were barely sufficient for me to get ready and go
to yet another Coopera meeting at the Prefect’s office. Surprise, surprise, they had lots of press
there so they actually started only 10 minutes late with Jose Montesinos giving
a long monologue the whole time. There were only 4 of us Expats there and the
only possible interpreter, Elisa, was stuck in the bunch of locals so 2 of us
made our exit within 15 minutes to allow some ladies to have a seat.
We did find out today that our protest was successful. Nobody from our group volunteered to be
duped into being a delegate for the SEPS deception team. This means they now have to allow at least 30 elected
delegates, but this is contingent on the court case on Monday. With any luck, we will be able show all the
illegalities in their process and force them to refund all our money. We are crossing our fingers.
As I was walking out, one of our lawyers, Dr. Quito was
giving an interview in the hallway so I stopped for a moment. It was then that I met the father of our
Coopera Branch Manager Juan. Senor
Palacios has been at many of our meetings and it seems that we are all in agreement
as to the skullduggery that has occurred.
I sent a text message to Elisa to try to supply me with a summary of the
meeting.
On my way to the bus stop I saw some kids enjoying the
fountain in the San Blas Square . Kids and water… what can you say….
I tried to get some business card stock at the small
Papeleria Monsalves on Guapondelig and was shocked that they had no prepared
paper stock at all, no business cards, no invitations, etc. Next door I purchased a keychain fob (like
Bella has) which stores money to pay for the bus rides. My transit card is still good but I am always
self-conscious about pulling out my wallet every time I get on a bus. I will keep the card for visitors to use.
I then decided to check at Coral for the business card stock
and they did have some, so I bought 2 packets.
That was today’s excitement.
Cheers, Al
