Ordered Starlink for delivery in Sajoma. Ran into the same problem others had previously with payment acceptance. Told to contact my bank for authorization. Switched from US Bank credit card to their debit card and it sailed through. Now I plan to go back in and use the "change payment...

Without a single shred of evidence. Bla, bla, bla...

Bought two panecicos sp? panecitos sp? anyway today from Reynaldo who walks around Sajoma selling long slabs of them. They were made from yuca and chicharrones. My favorite. Had yuca and queso also. I'm a yuca guy. And besides I get to listen to Reynaldo's cibaeno accent. Ask him his name...

The best name election of the day was "Lenin" de la Rosa beating "Hanoi" Sanchez in San Juan de la Maguana.

Not sure about that CG. I just posted about our completion of the residency process. However, during the process we had to return to the states for a funeral. Had our paperwork but they ignored it and charged us several thousand pesos to board. Whether its a written policy or whatever they...

And once you begin to learn how to manage the roads here, you take a trip home. And two things happen. First, on the way home from the airport your spouse is telling you to slow down, quit tail-gaiting, use your signals, quit cutting people off, roll up your window nobody here understands what...

Recap. Started the process back in the home country. The only way to do it. Gathered all the requirements for a "retirement" temporary visa and submitted them to the nearest DR consulate. Financials, medicals, criminal, birth certificates, marriage license Waited months while all of that was...

My current internet server is way too slow to watch live action sports and I haven't moved on to Starlink yet so I'm looking for a location in Santiago. Any suggestions?

Whew! Dodged another one. Farmer

In 1974 sleepy little Sajoma would get awakened on weekends with the arrival of long lines of Ejercito Jeeps from the Balaguer campaign. Loud speakers blaring the political messages. They stopped frequently to hand out sausage, rice, and nice, crisp, recently minted fresh U.S. one dollar...

58.60 at Plasticos Estevez in Sajoma yesterday.

I'd choose 4-10's anytime over 5-8's. Worked many years ago for a division of Anheuser Busch called Metal Container Corporation in Florida. We made the cans and lids for AB breweries up and down the east coast. Plant ran 24/7/365. We worked 3-12's. I loved it. 3 on 3 off. Your second day...

EGEHID is about to wrap up Hwy 16 that comes out of Santiago crossing the Puente Hermanos Patino over the Yaqui and up to Sajoma. It was a mess back in April when we returned to this area but its like glass now. New signage, paint, drainage. I don't know how far into Santiago they are going...

Or anywhere on the island in addition to Cabarete/Sosua. I got a request from a friend who'd like to look at the possibilities down here. Has anyone lately had experience with any schools they thought were worthwhile? Thanks. Farmer

I hope this goes through. Another chapter in our move down here was the processing of the Tucson through la aduana. Whereas it's typical for a married couple to have both their names on a vehicle title in the US, down here that's a no-no. I came down at the same time I had Seaboard ship the...

I was scrolling to the end so I could make the same point that was missed by the original poster. She's helping a friend. Good point.

Up here in Sajoma too. Shake, pause, shake. My first. You always remember your first.

Keep writing Rey. After the knee jerk reactions by a few that have time to attack you rather than just move on to the next thread, I think you got some decent answers to your questions. Farmer

These are blogs right?

Well I ain't gonna fight you over your disdain for climate change but both of the articles mentioned extreme weather events and specific to the DR were Hurricane Fiona and later drought conditions. Maybe you'll compromise with the word weather as it's a temporary term. Regardless, we have...
