On Friday as I was walking to my local train station a neighbor passed by, stopped and suggested I go to Pigmento as they had Off. I went in, saw a long, long line and 2 can limit for 3,900 each. Playing into the fever, I waited, bought 2 cans and left. A sad state of affairs when there are...

I transferred money through WU this morning and picked it up at 1630 hours without any issue. All in the thousand peso bills.

My Nampe wine inflation gauge remains practically unchanged as each 750ml bottle is still, when on sale, less than $2 US. Carrefour has a new stock of Nampe Malbec 2023 at 2500 pesos BUT buy 3 and only pay for 2. So each bottle about 1700 pesos. All is well.

Just up update those here on certain food prices in Miami-Ft Lauderdale, here's an excerpt from the current weekly Publix ad.

I grow my own lettuce, plus tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and squash on a small plot of land. It's easy!

The manipulation today by the big players make the 1978 actors look like amateurs.

Speculators control the markets, not mom and pop dollar holders. I'm still convinced the dollar will go back up, albeit when is a good question. Rest assured the big players have and are making lots of profits on the exchange rate variations.

I've called some politicians far worse but calm your feathers as this is not a political gossip site. As for vermin, feel free to take a stroll in certain cities in the US (and of course in Argentina) at night. That title will be mild if and when you're done the walk. As for politicians...

You obviously missed the point.

The truth about politicians can't be masked.

I thought it was because I'm so sweet!

If you have money and want to spend it on, for example, expensive restaurants, do it! Unless you want to be the wealthiest stiff in the cemetery. Otherwise your family will be fighting over who gets what of yours when you pass.

Gotta like how Milei calls out the politicians here: "congress is a nest of rats".

Next you'll blame ...... Trump.

Make sure you will is properly drawn up! And I mean that in all seriousness.

My first name is Charles, which gets slightly butchered when pronounced in English by someone who only speaks Spanish. I get Karloose, Chaallees, Carlos, But they treat me very well as I've been going there the better part of 10 years.

I, too use autoservicio and know most all the employees to at least say hola to. They know I'm an American and ALL talk English to me (one of the reasons my Spanish isn't good). Most call me by my first name when I enter the store....

While there are, indeed, many fine Argentine restaurants, I notice many of them are not full these days! A sad comment on the times.

Hardly, however mixing lemons with pineapples isn't, in my opinion, relevant.

I'd still prefer to be in Argentina over Taiwan. I'll live with the problems.
