Observações

Observations. This is my 700th post since beginning this blog in 2009. As Brazilians don't have a cultural sense of personal space, tailgating is epidemic. At the same time it eliminates road rage. There are a zillion little motos (small motor bikes) on the roads, often used to deliver things or with a passenger. They are economical,maneuverable in city traffic and dangerous. Yesterday picked a very small red fruit called acerola, which I have never seen in the US. They make a juice high in Vitamin C. Brazil has many indigenous fruits. Today went to a super Mercado like a Costco or Sam's, which seemed to have the same things as in the US. Yesterday went to the used car lot of a friend. This brought back memories of my many years repairing upholstery in similar places. Technology continues to provide trials. Prayer is appreciated.
