Independence Day

Happy Fourth of July from Costa Rica. Unlike some recent expat Americans scurrying north to escape the ascendance of Jesusland in the US, I've escaped south into more Catholic climes. Not that I felt the need for more religion, but because as a free man I decided it was time for a change of scenery, and Canada is too cold.

Whether it's actually true or not (time and experience will tell) it seems freer here on an individual level than in the States. Maybe it's just the rampant corruption and lack of a visible police presence.

My day, as usual, hasn't gone as planned and it's now 7:40 PM or so and I never got this posted. I've got more but I keep getting interrupted so to all those who've wondered whether I'm still alive-here I am. More tomorrow.
