#caturday I had to leave Richard Parker behind when I made the move from Mexico to Canada in May, because he and my other cat just fought all the time. I visited him and his new servants yesterday. He seems OK, and has gained a little weight. He's obviously camera shy.
#Mexico I bought a rebozo at the Mercado Hidalgo in Guanajuato Capital. I'll be able to wear it in Kamloops, BC.
#Mexico After two weeks exploring Mexican beaches, and eight months away from Guanajuato Capital, I returned late last night, after an all-day bus ride from LΓ‘zaro CΓ‘rdenas.
This is the Mercado Hidalgo, which has the distinction of being one of the last (perhaps THE last) buildings of the Porfiriate. PorfiriΓ³ Diaz was chased out of Mexico in 1911, and this building wasn't completed until 1912.

The United States spends more on βhealthcareβ than any other country in the world: about 17% of GDP.
Switzerland, Germany, France, Sweden and Japan average around 11%, and Canada, Denmark, Belgium, Austria, Norway, Netherlands, United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia come in between 9.3% and 10.5%.
Premiums right now make up about 22% of all taxable payroll (and donβt cover all working people), whereas Medicare For All would run an estimated 10% and would cover every person in America.

#mexico One of my objectives for this trip was to do some sightseeing on the MichoacΓ‘n coast, a Mexican treasure that not many people know about. I had to go to some trouble, but I pulled it off today. Rode a bus to Nexpa, 60 km. west of Playa Azul. (That's right, west; the coastline here runs west-east.) There are a lot of little towns like this one on the MichoacΓ‘n coast; this one has a lot of surfers and "extranjeros."
