Misc Comments on My Trip Thus Far
I’m about ten days into this trip. Here are a few observations thus far. Getting a visa extension to stay here was easy. The hardest part was the demand that payment be made in cash. The cost was just north of 4,000 pesos ($66). I needed to complete a form, pay a fee, and then…

A week ago, I finally threw in the towel and changed my voter registration from Republican to No Party Preference. This was hard for me to do but I feel that it was time. Several factors contributed to this decision. First, the Republican Party is dead in California. Second, it’s dead in the area where…

Link Fry’s: Diamond AMD RX 480 8GB PCIE GDDR5 Graphics Video Card (For those that don’t know, AMD and NVidia make video chipsets and sell them to various manufactures that customize them…
