RE: Nicaragua Crisis – Supply Run For August Part I

in #ulog6 years ago

Your narrative is just simply compelling, @cecicastor. I know you're living all of this, and your intent is to share, but it's very well composed, very detailed, yet quick and on to the next. Probably don't need me to critique the writing with all that's going on but I just wanted to take a moment and appreciate it.

Has there been any signs that things will turn around? Or is that still looking like a far ways off. It seems like it's hard to know who the good and bad guys are in this conflict. And I'm sure that makes it that much more dangerous.

Thank you very much for your kind words. I try not to put in the really gory stuff as I find it difficult to write about.

More laws have been passed this month to restrict peoples movements and rights. I don't know where the government's head is, but it is not anywhere near reality. They are denying everything that has happened and is happening. It looks like we are in for the long haul. The motto around here is to trust no one, ever. It goes everything I believe in...

I'm so sorry to hear about all of that. I do appreciate you leaving the gory details, out though. If it's hard to write, it's also hard to read. I get a pretty good idea just from the narrative you give here what things are like, and I'm surprised that I don't hear more about it elsewhere. Spanish news might be the only way and right now the channel we get is in dispute with DISH, or something. The evening news here doesn't have much to say, and neither does talk radio.

Well, obviously, you have been trusting some people. They seem to love you for it. This is the time where true beliefs are put to the test, and where basic human decency is needed most.

I can only echo the sentiments of others that you continue to keep safe. I think banding together as you've been attempting to do is a good thing, and that eventually it will be what sees you through.

Thank you, @glenalbrethsen. I appreciate the positive comments. I try to stay upbeat but I do have my days when that mountain seems to be growing...
