REPAT CHRONICLE, hot off the press. The cold gringos (read “productive cultures”) of the world are monochronic (the trains run on time), while everybody else is polychronic (it's OK to be late). #chronemics #monochronic #polychronic #repat #repats expat-chronicles.com/2019/04/12/pol…

I was worried Wife would see the shooting that occurred one mile away. She was worried about a shooting 1,000 miles away. expat-chronicles.com/2019/06/23/st-… expat-chronicles.com/2019/06/23/st-…

Bullfighting allowed Sidney Franklin to hide his sexuality while indulging his passion for flamboyance and pageantry, providing a stage where he could perform in such finery and with such... nytimes.com/2019/06/25/nyr…

Pundits say my underdog fave Julian Castro did well last night. But the real question goes to Cory Booker ... man, why? Good try and all, but just stop. Let it go. youtu.be/K_fKcQlkmZI youtu.be/K_fKcQlkmZI

The Donald Trump and Venezuela stories have become depressing. When I need cheering up, the latest with Brexit is always worth a laugh, a true comedy of errors. But don't bet against Britain yet... #Brexit expat-chronicles.com/2019/09/29/bre…

I sorted U.S. states by murder rate. Then I looked up Peru. Then I mapped out all of Latin America with European nation-states and few notable countries around the world. See how your homeland compares to your adopted country. You might be surprised. expat-chronicles.com/2020/02/13/mis…

Where would you rather be for coronavirus, Latin America or Gringolandia? AND, my long list of things to do while waiting out the pandemic. #coronavirus #COVID19 #pandemicnetflix expat-chronicles.com/2020/03/26/cor…

Don’t want to sound like a pussy, but life in America is lonely. The solitude is, by far, my biggest gripe about life here. It was so bad in the early months that I couldn’t write about it. It struck a nerve, and it took time to desensitize. expat-chronicles.com/2020/04/19/sol…

My inbox indicates some people are curious about investing in #Venezuela, that the time is right to get in early. IT'S NOT. expat-chronicles.com/2020/05/25/inv…

I’ll judge this message to have merit if it triggers both conservatives and liberals. That’s how I’ll know I hit the sweet spot in the middle. #GeorgeFloydProtests expat-chronicles.com/2020/06/03/rac…

#Florida registered more new Covid-19 cases than all of Europe combined. Time to abort. Let's keep small populations in the old port towns of Tampa & JAX. But for everybody else, mandatory evacuation. The peninsula is not suited for civilized habitation. expat-chronicles.com/2020/07/14/flo…

I don’t want to focus on politics so much as the outrageous ineptitude. How can someone in charge of such a big company be so out of touch with his customers? Does this have any precedent? #Goyaway #BoycottGoyaFoods #GoyaBoycott #GoyaChallenge #BoycottGoya expat-chronicles.com/2020/07/15/goy…

To be clear, the petition to rename St. Louis is going nowhere, but this issue hits home for me after a decade in Latin America. #StLouis #SaintLouis #radtrad #cancelculture expat-chronicles.com/2020/07/27/sai…

Life in Latin America inevitably means living behind the times when it comes to technology. But that gap is shrinking, and the tech gap is not that wide for products like pesticides that have been around a long time, and are CHEAP. #organic #expats expat-chronicles.com/2020/09/07/lat…
