Friday, October 6 Day 15

DO NOT believe anything the twit-in-chief or any of his minion twits say about Puerto Rico. Everything I've seen from them - which is  admittedly thankfully very little - has been an outright lie.

This is NOT a "good news story" as the twit's director of Homeland Security said. Puerto Rico is NOT "doing just fine." FEMA is NOT doing "a great job." Stacks of containers or food and other necessities are sitting in the port in San Juan and haven't been released by the Feds. Through a combination of bureaucracy, ineptitude and inter-governmental bickering and turf protection, pallets of relief supplies are sitting on the tarmac - on the tarmac! - at the San Juan airport because all storage space is full. None of it has been moved or released.

This is NOT a "good news story" either for Puerto Rico of for the U.S. People are dying because they can get medical aid.or supplies.or food or water. Do not believe the twit!

Best moment: We fenced in another acre for the horses today. Tha makes us all fell better. It took a while in the heat but we got it done. They now have new green pasture to graze in. We can let at least one of the fields "rest" for a few days.

Our fences are becoming more Puerto Rican. Right now we can't get T-posts - Home Depot stores are closed, we don't have the cash and credit and debit card systems are down and who wants to use the gas to drive to Mayaguez or Hatillo?

There are fence posts lying along the side of every street and road, free for the taking  All it takes is a little creative work with a chain saw. About half of the fence posts in the new pasture are cut from the side of the road.

Second best moment: When we got home, Elaine made Ola Lola's bean dip for lunch. We stopped a the gas station anon the way home and got 6 cold Medallas. What a treat!

Latest water rumor: the damage to the Guajataca Dam wasn't as bad as they initially thought. The hope to have repairs don today or by the first of the week. Then everybody is supposed to get water. Still no water tonight though.

Stay tuned.
