Got a paper letter yesterday from a fellow called Steve representing a "Bank" that was more than willing to loan me $3000 in cash if I would consent to repay the loan or "nut" at the rate of $284 per month each month for two years. Now the interest or "Vig" as I believe it is called in the loan shark business works out to a 96% APR. A person in big financial trouble might easily read that as 9.6% because there are laws against charging folks over 100% interest on a loan which, if you do your sums, you will see that you will pay Steves bank $6816 in return for the use of using his 3k for two years or about $9.30 each and every day. Talk about putting your money to work for you. Well I got to say that I saw Red (as in Communism) and I'm going to do something about it as soon as I figure where T-Time has hidden that paperwork. She is a good care taker and does not wish to see me explode.
We don't have a traditional thanksgiving here in Panama. Instead it is called Retribution Thursday or Danger Day, and basically if you are Spanish, Los Indios will try to kill you and if you are from Estados Unitos everyone will try for a piece. The best thing would be stay inside and devise games of martial skill using turkey parts. That's the deal.
My resolution for this coming year is to find this criminal bank and fuck them up. You want to help? Fine.

We can take that bank down quicker and more repeatedly than a Canadian Mounty's girlfriend, here on spring break, in Daytona Beach .....
