Another Day In The World
I woke up today in San Jose, Costa Rica having forgotten the date. I have an appointment here today to finally sell my car, unless something goes badly wrong. Everybody in the house has gone to work and being alone I decided for the first time in months to turn on and watch the TV.
I'll return to Panama again on Friday where I'll endeavor to avoid a newly encountered conspiracy theorist, another dissatisfied American abroad. I laughed at him the other night as I let him ramble on about the collapsing buildings. I found out about 'white hats,' you know, the 'good' people found few and far between in the CIA that are not plotting to conquer the world. That's how he finally explained Valerie Plame undercutting the Bush administration.
I will never forget. I will never forget who did this thing and why. I will try to continue to forgive or ignore the people who for whatever personal reasons need to look the other way. Like my new idiot acquaintance who insists that the President of the United States ordered the demolition of the World Trade Center Towers and the Pentagon. What a world these people must live in. I truly feel sorry for them.
