My wife just went to the town hall to get a toilet. They're giving out free comodes today. She found out from her cousin, who is also getting one. Seems the mayor is doing his part to help the people of his town. They will keep them at Cora's store until they can get a motorcycle to take them up the mountain road to their homes. I told my wife she should sit hers outside along the street so people can sit down and relax while waiting for the bus. She thought I was serious, which I kind of was - why not?

Emelie and I had some money in a local savings and loan, which they called a "cooperative". It wasn't much money but it was the first joint account we had together. The name of the place was CEPEDECO. Its an acronym for a name that inspires trust and good thoughts. They folded. There was a run on the place as a result of a rumor that they were going to close. Cause and effect traded places.

Turning the misfortune of depositors into an opportunity for themselves, the cooperative's employees continued to collect on debts long after closing the doors to depositors; refusing to give the depositors back their savings. The debt collectors went door to door and filled their pockets.

Well, it's time again. Short one today. Not much to say. But all in good taste!
