Echoing Christine, Jeffrey et al, Merry Christmas and a very happy holiday season to all! We are in sunny San Juan Puerto Rico. Flying back home tomorrow to cold and snow.
A bittersweet time. A store clerk was so happy to announce that she got power back last week. Another said it only took her 84 days. A cab driver said she was without until two weeks ago, made it tough with no power or water in a 14th floor apartment. Too many small shops closed (forever?) having gone for 3 months with no customers. Too many street people. But, holiday decorations everywhere, families out shopping and dining together, loud music, just a strong sense of resilience in most we have talked with. T-shirts proclaiming the PR will arise again. All in all, our brief visit has been a somewhat sobering reminder of the range of people’s experiences and fortunes. Hope abounds... stan Sent from my iPad -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
