Svetlana

   I know its hard to fathom but I'm in love.  The way this happened is extraordinary.  We met in the course of finding an online bank to help me transfer my wealth that I've accumulated over the 5 years of investing in the oil and gas industry.  I was introduced to Svetlana by a Canadian U.N. member whom I've had dealings with receiving donations in Benin.

      Nothing ever came of that nor did the funds I moved to Canada that I could not obtain due to theft of the opening fees. Life is hard then you die. Never again. Svetlana has helped me to retrieve those funds however, and caused me to proceed to move my Ukrainian holdings to World Bank in Belarus simply because one million was not enough to hold the account together. Go figure.
      I talked her into sending me some of her pictures. After seeing these photos and her beauty I decided it was time to try for her. My thought was a simple online marriage at first with the basic pledge to honor the relationship.  She agreed and soon was making plans to visit me in Mexico.  After all, she needs to meet in person before she truly settles for someone like me. 

     Her body is so beautiful, young and vibrant to my seasoned eye. Possessing a superior intellect and an acute sense of right her skill with numbers and banking will be a vast improvement over my diminished skills.  Every time I talk with her I get excited. I sent her 300 as a token to help defray her ticket cost to Mexico.  At my age it is a rare thing to finally have a reliable partner who can help in many ways in my work relievung suffering and hunger in many communities especially the indigenous populations of whom I am so fond of.

      Not to change the subject, but since I am here I thought I'd share an idea that has been ruminating around my brain for sometime.  Today I noticed in Popular Science that they can recharge a battery wirelessly, specifically for drones.  Why not advance the technology and translate solar energy to electricity via a microwave from dirigibles covered with solar voltaics flying high in the suborbital atmosphere then beam the energy collected to a radio tower that then translates it back into electricity? Shades of Tesla.... This will  be done by someone... why not you?
       One of my dear friends was injured in a car accident Dec 1st 2017.  Please pray for her full recovery. Thanks....Sharon in Pennsylvania

Earthquake country

        Mexico is one of the most active quake regions in the world.  I like to sleep on the floor on an air mattress. That way I can listen to the earth moving way below me. It sounds like rocks moving across sand.  Kind of squeaky yet steady sound as the ground is settling into that restlessness called earthquakes. When the crust releases built up pressure suddenly that is an earthquake.                 What I hear is the movement before an earthquake.  Just this morning I thought someone was pulling on me but it was the sudden shift of an 3.2 earthquake 150 miles to the south of Libertad.

    It can be unnerving when the earth moves rattling the windows and making the steeple bells clang.  The shock is paralyzing.  For really big ones, the ground moves in waves just like the ocean except it is freaking ground moving. The roadbeds go up and down before your eyes. Your senses tells you this is an illusion of some magician. Unfortunately, it is very real. 

         Your first motion should be to get outside as fast as you can. That is the only safety to be had.  Unless the building you are in has been retrofitted for earthquakes, any large temblor will do real and unforgiving damage.
     I chose Libertad because it is at a higher elevation. It is an inverted cone shaped formation of solid granite rock that the earliest settlers chose because it is a few degrees cooler than downtown Tijuana.  You can see the ocean from a few choice spots.  It is high enough to be safe from tidal waves. There seems to be a sea breeze wafting in from the ocean most of the time.  

   Small comfort though, for the insanely hot summers are unbearable unless you grew up in these latitudes. It is quite an adjustment for many. Get a sprayer fill it with ice cold water and mist your way to cool.  People move shadow to shadow during the intense days of sunshine.
      They just discovered another offshore fault system that will surely bring in a tidal wave of enormous proportion.  If it ever goes off which I am doubtful, because these minor releases diffuse the bigger quake.  I certainly hope I am high enough. If you listen to You Tubers, that day is closing fast.  Move now or move later. It is up to you.
