Baking Bread And Exercising

living.boondockingmexico@yahoo.com

Always looking for things to do around the house.  Today it was baking bread, making a grocery list, exercising and watching news reports, international, from the U.S. and Mexico.

This sign appears frequently now wherever we go.  It says, "Dear customer, due to the eventuality that is affecting us at this time and following the recommendations set out by the authorities, we are obliged to close.  We will be in contact."  This happens to be our neighbor's furniture business and they employ about 12 workers, all of whom are out of work now.  Knowing our neighbors they are surely paying them something in the meantime.

Irish Soda Bread, easy to make and fast.  It's plain but good for toast and when freshly made before a meal, hot with butter.  I had a slice with peanut butter and it wasn't half bad.  I don't have any yeast in the house and tomorrow is shopping day.  Monday, we will have three days where no one is allowed on the streets and if stopped, walking, on public transit or by car, you need to have a pretty good excuse and some proof of where you are going.  We'll see how that works out.

 

On my walk, I discovered a couple of vultures up in the trees (hard to see with my cell phone camera) and I wonder what they were thinking.  They kind of followed me.  

I never peek around the corner of our house.  It is a dead-end street and forms a "T" and there are only two houses.  So with my new exercise strategy, hiding from the police, I am forced to take every turn.  This is the only bugambilia around these parts with this purple color. 

This is our road.  If anyone has been down it before, it has been in different states of condition.  This last repair has kept it in pretty good shape, going on two years now.  Today I saw no one.  Starting Monday, I will have to leave earlier while it is still dark.  9 laps, I'm learning more about what is around me.  

Presidential update:  I wish Margaret and Helen could write this, they would do a much better job.  Now that dingus has accepted the fact that the virus is real, he is thanking us all for being as he says, "good boys and girls" (dictator acting internally) by staying put.  Too little too late.  He bunged it up for everyone as the beaches and markets are full for Easter and people are all over the place.  Big cities not so much, but smaller towns, like ours, and beaches are hard to control.  What is said and what is happening are two different things.

People are dying the IMSS hospitals for lack of supplies.  During a live news report, a person succumbed to the virus and died on television.  He had not been tested but was on a ventilator.  Cause of death is being listed as Atipic Pneumonia, Not true and they are using that as a cause of death for many, many people so we know the numbers are being fudged.   Doctors all around the country in the IMSS system are catching the Covid and some have died.  This has become a bungled operation. 

You may have also heard that our communist friends from Cuba are here now assisting in the contingency.  Did you know we are paying Cuba $55,000 USD for each doctor while the Cuban doctor will only receive his normal $60 USD monthly pay?  That's how these communist/socialist dictators operate.  Scratch my back, I'll stretch yours.
