Month: November 2025

To my close friends who worry about me. I have been writing things that interest me not telling what you want to know. Let me bring you up to date. I still sleep alone but I have friends who come in daily to check on me, except on weekends and then they usually want to text me to make sure I am ok.

I have been spending much of my time trying to complete my apartment and I am closing in on that. I have installed a island in the kitchen and painting on the wall and over the outside widow/doors that allows me to stay busy and have something to watch. I leave for Medelin Monday to get fingerprints so I can get a visa. Even had to pay the FBI for information about me. I can only stay in Colombia for 90 days with out a visa so I am working on that and after that I can apply for citizenship. I have learned enough Spanish that I can say all the necessary things like ordering a meal or buying a few groceries. My maid visits twice a week to handle laundry, clean the house, and prepare meals, often leaving salads or other dishes I request in the fridge. So, life is very good for me it is a little warmer than I am used to but I like the fact I can go set on my balcony any time day or night and not be cold. So far I think the hottest day was around 92 and the coldest is around 80. The grocery story is next to this building and I have a swimming pool one floor down when I want to swim I just go out my front door twenty steps get on the elevator drop one floor and step out the pool is right in front of me and a hot tub. Only it is not hot but that explains it better than I would be able to. I have been doing a lot of experimenting on fasting. I lost weight then I wanted to know the effects of food and mental wisdom. Thinking clearly and such so I have just finished gaining 15 lbs. on just over a week. Now I am back on the fast and doing different exercises mentally to see my own personal feelings of fasting.

I spend most of my time reading but still working on Book three of Great Eagle. I have a exercise bike in a spare bedroom even though down one floor is a gym.

I am doing good both mentally and physically so do not be worried about my care. After being checked out at the hospital with every test known to man they have assured me I am in good health. So, with my experience with doctors, I know I can count on twenty more minutes to live. Other than that, my friends feel better even though I tell them I paid over a thousand dollars to make them happy and I would rather have a beer and a new cigar than that assurance. Even though my lungs are in good shape so I don’t have to hear that anymore. Pedro, who is here daily, has a daughter who lives with him and is a medical doctor and he tells on me when I. well forget that I am doing good. Funny I had a cancer removed from my chest and when I went back to get the stiches out she was in the back seat and Emanual said don’t worry about being late Verl remember your doctor your appointment is with is right here.

I read in the paper of the tornado that hit the Caribbean but it took me two days to realize that there were all these bodies that had been washed up on the shore right in front of my casa. Looking down at the beach I can see many bodies that must have come in last night I had not noticed them until it was so obvious. There are so many and they are all lined up in a row. It is quite interesting that the tide must have been pretty high when they were washed up because they are all pretty much the same distance from the water.

Close as I can tell the ones that survived must have been at a swimming pool aboard the ship that sank. They all have only swimming suits on and from where I am it looks like they landed on a beach towel. Strange is the only way I can figure this out. I have considered that perhaps I should go down and take a closer look and see if there are any survivors. As far away as they are I can only tell that most are female and do not have any clothes on from here it appears they each have a swimming suit which would indicate they were aboard a ship and was either swimming when the tornado hit or they were on the side of the pool sunbathing.

Perhaps I can save a few if I hurry down there. But then if I try and fail will I go to jail like it was my fault they drowned. It has been seventy years ago sense I was a boy scout and learned how to rescue those that were drowning but I cannot remember it much I do recall that they fought when they were drowning. I wonder if they would fight if they were up on the beach. Another thing I can not remember how you are to position the body to force air into their lungs. It would seem to me that I should get a hold of something like their hips so I can lift and push them as necessary to get air movements. Perhaps a hand on each side on a hip.

I bet the top string around their chest is so tight they cannot get air. I would hate to fight them while I undo the sting trying to help.  Someone must have noticed yesterday because those that were there were gone early this morning. Must be they just wash up on high tide. Another thing strange is they all have their feet two ward the water. How come some are not washed into the bank sideways that would make more sense to me. Before I report this I think I should go down and take a closer look at the bodies and see if any can be saved. Most look to be healthy young women that is in their favor the chances of survival will be better with a younger woman than an old one.

I do not recall whether you should feed them or not if they are breathing I could drag one up here and give her a taste of wine. Would red or white be the best for their pulling through. At eighty years old I would not be able to get one up on my shoulder I would have to drag her. How would I explain that when I went past the desk downstairs. Oh, me I found her laying on the beach and just like a wounded pigeon I was going to take care of her.

On second thought I think I will wait and see if the news tomorrow tells of all these bodies down there. Let me know if you hear more about it.

A Messenger,
