A whole day

The Ileana flag was bright red yesterday. A whole day without a post. I had made a contact to look into purchasing a Mac but it appears to have fallen through. Business people here have a huge amount to learn about follow through and communication. This guy makes arrangements to see me at his store after 9:30 yesterday morning then no show; no call back; nada. They are going to re-live all the retail issues we went through in the west as we transitioned from the paper-age to the electronics era. We learned a whole bunch of lessons on what to do and what not to do. They ask for our advice here on how to avoid the pitfalls we experienced then if they do not like what we say, they do whatever they wish. This "disease" is rampant in the third world, a belief I have heard from a number of westerners I have rubbed shoulders with over the past 4 months.

I spoke with someone at the Apple store who anticipates arrival of some Macbook Pro's by the end of next week. They are about twice the price of what they appear to be in North America, but c'est la vie.

Devoured a hot dog of all things last night at a ferenge-owned restaurant near Deker called MKs. I see the Sens are still haunting the Sabres with a 2-0 victory last night, with Hiladie behind the bench.
