Everything seems to be well here. This past week the boys’ school was out for spring break, but starting on Thursday our neighbor hosted a retreat for the elementary section of that school, a 72-hour retreat. They sang and danced and played game and preached over a loud speaker for ALL of the 72 hours. They finished after the dinner hour on Easter. FWIW, our boys opted OUT of the activity.

About 4 AM on Easter - still dark - a church toward the bottom of the hill we live on, began shooting off fireworks. Other churches gather flashlights and banners paraded around and sang throughout the town, all in the pre-dawn hours. They were noisy.

Monday, April 1, was also a holiday: Easter II. One day isn’t considered enough. There is a Christmas Day and then Christmas Day II. There is Easter and Easter II. Next week, the other religion will be celebrating either two or three days; there is some confusion.

Today, there was a demonstration on the main road protesting perceived injustices against indigenous peoples. I didn’t go near that area and I understand things have settled down as the protest moved closer to the capital. IOW, business as usual.

Good grief Jem… sounds like NOLA

Hope you’re quickly back to full health. We here mumble about our doctor appointments, and travels, and trips to get medical care. For you that involves many thousand dollars travel expense, extremely long way plane trip and being away from your home away from home

I recall when you were packing you took a supply of ivermectin. Do you take it regularly as a prophylactic? I do twice a week. I use paste and get at tractor supply. The Mayor n wife Jul get capsules from India

Ah Tomas Is he essential bad but not harmful ? (except potentially to your pup)

I’m surmising you might be safer than many on Trump Train
