Baby Monkeys, Beloved Bats, and Giant Vegan Iguanas of Costa Rica
Hola joe shikspak and all you caucus99percenters, old and new!
Greetins from Costa Rica, our 7th visit here, and where we have been since Jan 19. We have had full days arising most of them at 5am, drinking coffee and getting out to hike or paddle as early as we could force ourselves.
Damn, we leave for a little while and all of a sudden kos blows up his place and caucus99percent done got famous !!!!
Read joe shikspaks said thank JTC for the tech stuff, so Jakkalbessie and I say thanks, JTC!
Texas and Hillary
Don't blame us for the shitty showing in Texas though, we voted for Bernie, voted by mail in Texas before Costa Rica. Of course we did not walk for Bernie, make calls for Bernie, just posted on Facebook for Bernie. So yeah, go ahead, we do share some of the blame.
Voted by Mail
Finally, an advantage to getting old! Voting by mail is the bomb. As our Evening Blues frins know we fortunate to be on the move so much but we did find ourselves agonizing over where to vote. We have the same problem the 2 million odd full time RVers have, where to vote.
This year we moved our vote from Austin where its been registered since we before we retired, to the leetle TX tea bagger town where we have a 100 year old shack and all our shtuff from 45 years of marriage is stored.
When not traveling we spend more time at our postage stamp sized condo in Santa Fe, NM, but it was going to be a major deal to get registered before we left for 7 weeks in Costa Rica so we decided to register in the tea party stronghold in the Texas Hill Country instead of Santa Fe. Worked out great.
Voting by mail should be available to all IMO. As should banking at the Post Office.
Bernie Can Win
Bernie still can win, I honestly believe that. But look, we are far to the left of Bernie. I voted for Jill Stein last round. Still, for me the Sanders revolution is a natural extension of the work done by OWS, and I am not going to give up after all the progress and the way people have become involved.
Come on Kansas
14 year old Ben says Bernie Sanders can Win!!!!!!! - Listen how..

So anyway, enough of that. Here are a few pics from Costa Rica. It's been hot as shit, we have sweated buckets at a number of locations along the Pacific Coast, but now we writing you from the cool mountain town of San Gerardo de Rivas where it has rained for over and hour and the temp is in the 70's ! ahhhhhhh!
Decided today to experiment with uploading pics directly to caucus99percent. Here goes....
Well it allowed me to load one picture , then on the next two said my files are too big. That's on me. Had hoped it would auto resize for me. First world problem though.
Back to the drawing board with me.
Namaste, ya'll.

checking in
Decided I would check in through this diary and glad there is still an open forum for discussions! Just in case divine order checks his diary, remind him he is supposed to be working on pictures for the travel blog! Do understand he has to keep his finger on the pulse of the planet as well:) Sittiang on an outside deck of place we are staying up on the side of Chirripo (tallest mountain in Costa Rica) where it has been raining for the past two hours! Frogs are carrying on and the misty fog is rolling in.
Life is what you make it, so make it something worthwhile.
This ain't no dress rehearsal!
good evening do and jb!
glad to hear that your travels are going well and that you are having as much fun as you can stand.
vote by mail is great, and it's a great way to be sure that your vote gets counted if you live in one of those states with the electronic
vote stealersvoter interfaces.goodness, you guys did miss out on the drama. the great orange satan's fearless leader has been alarmingly exercised lately and has taken to calling about half of the people he is allegedly organizing to crash the gates, "fucking morons." apparently, he has lost his copy of "how to win friends and influence people."
anyway, it has been pretty amazingly busy around here since fearless leader's latest pronouncement that mrs. goldwater-sachs must either be venerated by all site members or they should all gag themselves and stand in the corner.
hard to imagine that folks won't miss that sort of thing, but they are coming here regardless.
thanks for dropping in with the stories and the photos!
Sweet! Thanks! All the best!
A truth of the nuclear age/climate change: we can no longer have endless war and survive on this planet. Oh sh*t.
Great to see you, Two
Looking forward to more photos, DO. Take good care and enjoy.
Egualmente, Smiley7!!!

Everyone thinks they have the best dog, and none of them are wrong.
Thanks! Still trying to get the hang of things !
Hope all is wrll.
