Today Is The Day - Passport Time - Leaving Town

This guy did his part and voted at 8 a.m. this morning.  We checked out the location yesterday as it had changed since the last election.  Bad idea, people probably need help finding the place.  The Google maps is not correct and sent us to a dirt road.  Was this an attempt to keep people from voting?  Long lines, lack of organization and a lot of voters complaining.

These are the final numbers of candidates who have been killed since the fall of 2023.  As you can see the majority are from the president's party.  They have all been murdered by the cartels.  People remind me of how safe Mexico is.  Heads in the sand.  Many voting places in Chiapas, Guerrero, Michoacan, Guanajuato, and Colima have been either closed or moved to other towns because of cartel threats and takeovers.

We'll know late tonight who the winner is.  If MORENA wins, could some of you offer me posada until I can get relocated after deportation?  I do good yard work and housekeeping 😎

This Wednesday I have an appointment with the U.S. Consulate to renew my passport.  Their website is very confusing.  One part was not clear at all.  After the appointment, I have to go to a designated DHL location and buy one of their envelopes.  And then?  So I sent a mail to the consulate hoping they would answer soon and they did.  I pay for the envelope and DHL will take it to the consulate when my new passport is ready.  They say it is two to three weeks, let's hope so.  We need to get out of this heat.  Destination is unknown at this time.

Even though the daytime temperatures are not much different in San Miguel de Allende the evenings cool off to about 16C.  Sleeping will be better and we will only stay for a short while.  Our friend and yours, Les, had his knee replacement surgery and we will be there if he needs something or a ride for a doctor's visit.  Very few people in SMA have air conditioning and the elderly are suffering quite a bit. 

 The SUV is repaired and running well.  New A/C and a repaired transmission leak.   I took the VW in the day we picked up the Durango to have it inspected.  It received a tune-up up and everything else checked out just fine so we will be good to go on Thursday or Friday.
