We know this is the rainy season but enough is enough already.  Have a listen to Johnny Cash:  https://youtu.be/TJUdwum5jAY
Monday I went to physio for the second time of this session and am disapponted in the lack of results.  I just wish that I could feel a tiny bit of improvement..
It was raining again pretty good when I left the clinic to walk to meet Cristina at Coral.  She had some time to shop on her own, which is good, because I really didn't have the energy or patience to follow her around.  We actually made pretty good time with our grocery shopping, including a new king bed comforter, so we ended up with 2 carts full for over $200.
Then I had to run to the Bank on Buzzer (got a little wet again) and just update my passbook before I go confront SRI on Thursday with Victor at my hip.  I am certain that they shorted me by over $200 for November-December and I want to know why...
Then Monday night I again saw RedBubble advertisements on my sidebar, and was flabbergasted to see that they were showing a t-shirt with one of my shots of Immaculate Conception cathedral!!!!   How exciting to be chosen out of millions of photographs!!!
However,..... My excitement was short-lived when I saw that I was paired with an ad for some pornstar pics....

I saw red and sent notes to RB ex pressing my displeasure of such innappropriate advertising, especially when it is next to one of mine..!!!!!

This morning, this was on the sidebar:
Double the pornstar BS, so then I really sent notes to RedBubble on every avenue I could think of,  issued a public apology on my own FaceBook page, and unliked RedBubble.  
I finally got a response from RedBubble lat this morning: "Hi Al,  Thank you for bringing this to our attention.  Please accept our sincere apologies.  We've reported this issue to the appropriate team who are investigating.  Should you experience this issue in the future, please feel welcome to reach out to us at: http://support.redbubble.com with a screenshot of the issue."
So now it may be a case of the chickens investigating the chickens, but I hope somebody will let me know if any such BS shows up anywhere from RedBubble.
Physio today was changed up a bit.  First I had the usual TENS machine electrical stimulation followed by a rough massage.  Then It was into the hallway for some actual physical stretching exercises.  Gosh I hate to say that I still don't feel any better.
I took 2 shots west of our bridge, and 2 shots east, in the rain, on the way home.  When we can't see any of the huge boulders in the Rio Tomebamba, we know it is running exceedingly high and no doubt parts of the city are flooding.   I am not sure if this is still the legacy of El Nino, but sections of Ecuador are getting hit hard, including the earthquake zone around Manabi.  Thos poor folks have had enough to contend with...
I hope you enjoy the photos. That was the day's excitement. Cheers, Al

The water rushing away to join the Amazon to the east
