    This debt must be written off at no cost to Argentina people. The people did not approve this money and will not pay immoral debt money. The people do not accept and will not live with IMF chains of slavery. It is an outrage and illegal in international morality standards.

    Dear El Diego

    I completely agree with your comments, because ANYONE stupid enough to loan the Argentine government does not deserve payment.

    Then again, Argentina is such a rich country — why should they need to borrow anyway?

    There should be a total ban on all future loans to Argentina under any circumstances!

    This loan insanity needs to be stopped!

    Dear El Diego,

    Imperialist bankers have been the evil menace to your great nation and I applaud your enthusiastic zeal.

    Evil globalist capitalists control the bourgeoisie Argentine pigs — increasing their ill gotten wealth by exploiting the poor proletariat campesinos which is completely unfair!

    Workers need to unite and reject all foreign international capital which is a poison to your ideal societal goals. Argentina should reject all evil IMF globalist loans!

    Now that you've bravely declared that your great nation should eschew all debt repayment obligations — shouldn't overthrowing the current government be a valid next move for the Argentine people to proceed forward with?

    Sun Tzu advised: “Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected. The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting. Supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting. If the mind is willing, the flesh could go on and on without many things.” — This clearly reflects Madame DeFarge's philosophy...

    If you kindly refer to our previous conversations — most all of our family property was forcibly and generously shared with our neighbors. After '73 — our family legally purchased all the new land and water rights for the avocado orchards on the open free market from willingly satisfied sellers. (Fortunately goat grazing hillside land was cheap and water rights were reasonable.)

    You are habitually mixing up the wrong valley aquifers and forget that I'm very enthusiastic about the illegal water usages to be prosecuted.

    Our avocado orchards daily absorb vast amounts of carbon from the atmosphere and replace it with healthy oxygen — while providing welcomed labor opportunities as well as sharing nutritious superfood worldwide.

    Sunset is really beautiful this evening...

    You should also note the earlier video link was incorrect, regarding test driving a particular seductive Ferrari: https://youtu.be/MxC-ynRZoDg

    (This rule supersedes any guidelines of Sun Tzu as its a matter of survival.)

    It reminds me of another quaint bit of advice that your countrymen learned in '82 —which is to never underestimate the wrath and anger of a woman scorned... ...after all — she was just the daughter of an English shopkeeper...

    Changing subjects...

    ...speaking of defeat...

    The manager of Maersk called “friendly” to offer — kindly withdrawing from the wager as he wanted no hurt feelings, but I reminded him we were both gentlemen and the bet stands.

    Despite all the national USA polls showing a landslide win for Biden — I still think Trump can win the electorial college...

    You'll be amused that of the 54 bottles I've wagered — 48 I'll be obliged to purchase as they're Don Melchor and I'm not giving away the vintage bottles I have cellared.

    Dear El Diego

    My best advice is to first infiltrate the universities and form clandestine study groups to debate how to use the subversive methods of Mlton Friedman to radically change the Peronist economic structure of Argentina's economy.

    Your group should embrace new classical macroeconomis heavily based on the concept of rational expectations.

    This would completely overturn the current economic imbalance of your once great land — that a century ago was considered easily the fifth wealthiest country in the world!

    Cheers!

    I perhaps should clarify that both representatives of Lauritzen and Maersk are not Danish nationals, but I expect them to not gloat over their victory too much...

    ...and despite your thoughts that I've gone insane — I still expect to win our wager regarding the election results...

    In any case, if I lose (which is the educated opinion of almost ALL the political pundits that I certainly will) I will promptly pay my debts promptly in person with a handshake and friendly smile of good will.

    No grower can afford to piss off the two most important shipping companies and four cases of wine will only injure my ego. The other individual waged bottles are with educated colleagues that will also require me to deliver in person my loss.

    Regarding the test drive of a seductive Ferrari — I reflect about the current situation of the former paramour of that exotic sensual vehicle...

    I am convinced that somehow he will reemerge from his seclusion and reassemble his businesses — but the wear and tear on his integrity and admiration of his children are permanently damaged and our timelines are all limited.

    My timeline could literally be rapidly CUT by the whim of an enraged Chilean-Catalan-Occitan — but I'm repeatedly tempted to take a suicidal test ride...

    Changes in the wind — lunch was highly unusual as we enjoyed TexMex Chimichangas which consisted of grilled marinated skirt steak, bovine jack cheese, marinated green Hatch chili, guacamole — wrapped in a large flour tortillas and deep fried, topped with sour cream.

    The lunch was a trial run for the weekend, where we will be hosting a large group in Viña and Madame has planned a menu of Mexican-American offerings that include fish tacos, California tostada salad, chimechangas, ceviche and lots of guacamole with chips.

    (It's convenient to note, that each offering has avocado as an ingredient.)

    I'm here in our vineyards enjoying another of the old woman's delicious empanadas with an ice cold Cusqueña. The new vine growth of 15-20cm daily is remarkable and the fruit trees in bloom here is truly beautiful.

    Just the thought of an old 1968 Chevrolet El Camino rumbling down any country road brings a wave of romantic nostalgia — oh how many of my generation would love to acquire and completely restore one. (My knowledge of the improbable vehicle was only sadly from magazines.)

    I do love pickups! From first hand experience, Toyota makes the finest impossible-to-kill little pickup in the world — but I still have my late father's 1982 Chevrolet Silverado garaged here at the farm. (It desperately needs new tires and a brake overhaul, but I still take in out for occasional fun.)

    During the late '70s I was fascinated with automobiles and hot women (not in that order) and the sexiest car magazines with smoking hot women were printed in the USA.

    I specifically remember drooling over the pictures of an exotic speedboat hitched to the rear of a Chevy El Camino with a bodacious babe falling out of skimpy bikini and it was almost...pornographic...

    I did finally purchase a Toyota pickup and it was nearly indestructible including unintentionally rolling it on the steep hillsides. The non-Japanese manufactured more recent models are not quite as durable — but Toyota pickups still reigns.

    My father was infatuated with buying the Chevy truck of his dreams, but the fuel consumption alone was grotesque.

    HBO produced some really great series which was available on boxed CD collections and I highly recommend “ROME” along with “VIKINGS” which is streamed on NETFLIX.

    Certainly I would hope you've seen the “BORGIAS” https://youtu.be/pI6VPhDhRLs

    Regarding the “bombshell” it involves a problematic son — who's ignorant enough to leave his broken laptop with a computer repair shop in Delaware and abandons recovering it — resulting in the unpaid technician sharing the hard drive contents to the New York Post. (Reminds me of the “grab her by the pussy” recording released in 2016 — but Trump was a raging bull!)

    The hard drive data gleaned is the mozo de espada for the old Biden bull.

    And perhaps I'm waxing bullshit — but it looks as though the scoundrel Trump will prevail. As I've mentioned — he's a singular black swan event...
