Just when you thought you had seen and heard it all......

Daniel Ortega receives this years Human Rights Prize, from...

I thought this story would appeal to the adventurer in all of us.

WELLINGTON (AFP)

Two blocks of butter have been found intact after nearly a century in an Antarctic hut used by British explorer Robert Falcon Scott on his doomed 1910-12 expedition, a report said.

Television New Zealand reported that conservators found the two blocks of New Zealand butter in bags in stables attached to the expedition Hut at Cape Evans in Antarctica.

This is so sad.

This was the guy that was handing out flyer's in SJdS taking guys on tours to Granada and Managua and I quote from that flyer;

"Stopping at the Love Hotels on the way"

Read the home page and the "retire on $400 a month" a link. I don't see a monthly budget entry for the "Love (Auto) Hotels" so all you $400 a month retired old men that are going to flock to Rivas...keep your Viagra at home.

The latest Pelican Eyes on line homeowner’s newsletter had some good news.

They have, quote; “successfully completed their negotiation with the bank” which was probably the biggest stumbling block. (Other than the disgruntled home owners, the creditors (with or without paper and security)

Now they have to convince the HO’s (sorry about the acronym!) that the business plan of 200 bucks a night at 65% occupancy is doable.

But what about this little “Windfall”:

Someone was asking about pumps a time ago. Bomonsa has opened a new sales/service facility in Managua, near the Puente Larreynaga. They cater to industrial, commercial, residential, construction, and agriculture, as well having Franklin water pump equipment, submersible motors, vertical pumps and turbines. And no, I am not an expert in pumps and don't even know where that bridge is. But the info is true cos it was in END or was it from the AFP.....OK, check the info before you drive there!

I am in a restaurant in SJdS. A couple near me are having a fruit plate each. She gets up and goes to the bathroom and all the time she is gone he is faithfully waving a fork over the fruit to chase the flies away. She returns to the table and he says "I think one may have landed on your fruit, I am not sure"

Is there a left luggage room at Managua airport full of the grey matter these people should be traveling with?
