el duende grande

We are in to the misery season but some days are still overcast and not too hot. Countryside is drying up and water shortages in town and the communities.
Somebody found the rubber snake I gave to the grandkid a few years ago and they left it on my workbench. hahaha very funny, it took my weathered brain a few seconds to realize that cobras don't live in Nic. Got my eye on an oversized rubber scorpion for the other grandkid this year.
The Chicomvirus hype is on, stores selling out of alcohol gel, masks, vitamin C, etc. I bought some last week and everybody said Why? and now they are saying why didn't I buy more? I say we are all going to die and I want to die with some spare change in my pocket.
I bet only 1 out of 10 people know you can wash your hands with soap and get vitamin C in a tangerine and that masks don't work for this bug.

Not sure about vacation plans this year. Who wants to get sick in a foreign country, get kicked off the plane, and be treated like a leper? Just saying. Airline industry very quickly upped their predicted loses from 30 B to 60B or more. Would hate to be an employee or stockholder in a cruise line. Maybe they could convert to hospital ships for the year and get juicy govmint contracts?

The volcano walk captured everyone's imagination for a day. Beforehand, many people in this superstitious country were saying he was tempting God. Most people lost interest when they saw all the guy wires and safety cable. Anyway, it was a long walk and I suspect he had to be in shape for it and I can't believe that mickey mouse mask was really rated for that much gas.

I hope there is not a run on tangerines...
