Factchecking the VP debate
Last week’s presidential debate impacted the race more than most voters expected: after his lackluster performance, President Obama’s lead has shrunk and Mitt Romney’s campaign has been reinvigorated. So, Thursday night’s debate between vice president Joe Biden and Republican VP nominee Paul Ryan matters more than many debates between potential veeps past: While Biden has a chance to do damage control and stall the Romney-Ryan surge, Ryan will press for further gains.

Republicans, you know, they used to talk a lot about this thing called the stock market, and how it helped not just the rich, but middle class folks whose pensions and 401k’s depended on it. Well, now they never seem to mention the stock market. Perhaps because under President “Blackenstein,” the Dow has doubled. – Bill Maher

I Didn’t Feel this Earthquake, I Saw It
An earthquake with preliminary magnitude-5.2 shook most of Costa Rica on Wednesday morning.
The National Seismological Network reported the temblor at 6:19 a.m. with an epicenter located 19 kilometers from Nicoya, in the province of Guanacaste, the same area hit by a magnitude-7.6 earthquake that shook the region Sept. 5.
I heard a loud bang and looked out my window yesterday, I saw a large dump truck passing by, thinking that is what caused the noise. I glanced down at my bistro table and noticed it was shaking and a dish was dancing on top of it for about 30 seconds. Nothing else was shaking just the table. I was mesmerized.
A few seconds later Lucy came by and made a motion of shaking and asked if I felt it. My cabina is raised off the ground on a 18 inch concrete pad and Lucy’s house is on a 6 inch concrete pad. The tremors felt in her house are much stronger than in my cabina.
It was over quickly at least.

Update
I needed those two days off. Humor has returned to AHNC.
I didn’t get my passport yet but I did get a lot of other things accomplished.
And no soap opera update. Drama free for awhile hopefully.
