Unhappy This just in .... .

Bless you my sons, bless you. Once again I am getting worn out. Another sad day for Cali and a plus for the anarchists I suppose. What is this world and Colombia coming to ?

Check this out (taken from emails):

Last Night around midnight a carbomb was set off at the main police station on Cra. 1 and Calle 21. Lots of destruction, it effected building and homes in a two block area.

It's like there are those out there who are preferring anarchy. Thanks for the heads-up, did it appear in the El Pais or Q'hubo this morning? I think not since the presses had already rolled.

it is a shame that a country with so many resources and great things going for it can't get its act together. I used to feel sorry for countries like this now i am just dismayed. But it really is sad

Smile Re: This just in .... .

And a blessed and wonderful day my sons. Bless you my sons, bless all of you.

President Uribe is in Cali this week for developing strategy to further secure this territory from future attacks like this horrible bombing.

" We will double the effort to achieve the territorial control " (El Pais on-line today.)

Check this out if you can:

http://www.elpais.com.co/paisonline/...7/redobla.html

Also check out today's online addition of the El Pais for news regarding the continuing support for Plan Colombia by the U.S. Congress.

" Legislators of USA support help to Colombia " (El Pais on line today.)

Peace and security is in the air my sons, blessed be the Lord.

I'll admit though there are jet military aircraft and helicopters flying overhead in Cali day and night so earplugs here are selling briskly especially to those like me who have difficulty snoozing at night.

Once again my blessings to you all.

HOPE IS IN THE AIR

Bendicion.

LE is closing for good!!! The owner is leaving for the USA soon. The new owner was from the states and he married a lady from Cali. He went back to the states and his wife ran the business. The rest is history!!!

I hear the same for Latin-internet. The hay days seem to be over, at least in Cali. (which was really over-fished anyway)
