This highly positive article is very optimistic and I hope Milei does indeed have success in turning the Argentine economy around.

“Caputo highlighted that the IMF was satisfied with the economic course of action taken under Milei which included a devaluation of the Argentine peso by more than 50% and other deregulation measures as well as cuts in public spending to reduce the fiscal deficit...”

Meanwhile the current financial markets already have reacting excellently.

Somewhat recently, Señor Tænk inquired about my horological collection...

My current fun watch is a Timex Marlin automatic “Peanuts Gang's All Here”, gifted by my grandchildren.

I really love this treasure!

My daily-wear time piece is a Sinn UTC limited release, black Tegiment coated submarine grade stainless steel 41mm; that I personally purchased at their Frankfurt headquarters. (Reportfully only 400 were ever made.)

Among the sentimental treasures, includes a white gold Omega Seamaster,9ñn gifted upon my graduation at the naval academy by my late father and my grandfather's rose gold Patek Philippe Calatrava.

I've also been collecting a modest number of time pieces, which many have been via inheritance over the years.

As to our family farm, operations are progressing very well this season.

Agriculture can be highly risky, on a long enough timeline, the survival rate for growers drops to zero.

Saying that, the recent Hass avocado liquidations have been very satisfying.

However due to uncertain weather, our table grapes could be affected.

Besides harvesting the traditional Thompson Seedless and Flame Seedless, we're very pleased with the marvelous new crop this year.

The introduced red varieties we've grafted include Jack Salute, and Sweet Celebration, while our newest greens include Autumn Crisp and Cotton Can
