A Shark in Shallow Water: Heads and Tales

http://asharkinshallowwater.blogspot.com/2010/02/heads-and-tales.html

A Shark in Shallow Water. The ramblings of an angry man. Friday, 12 February 2010. The Japanese call it fat finger syndrome. It has nothing to do with sumo wrestling but rather the keying errors made by financial traders under severe stress. A trader's number pad will have the usual keys 0-9. And also a couple of extra ones for 00. Can run to 15 figures. Unfortunately, these two extra keys, 00. And hit enter. Unfortunately you don't quite make a clean contact with the 00. We are human. It would be qu...

A Shark in Shallow Water: Off the Sphincter Scale

http://asharkinshallowwater.blogspot.com/2010/02/off-sphincter-scale.html

A Shark in Shallow Water. The ramblings of an angry man. Sunday, 28 February 2010. Off the Sphincter Scale. Yes, my neighbourhood is a shithole. That was Friday. Then to make matters worse, we have an earthquake! The vast majority of Santiago is a complete eyesore. And, again. I'm talking pre- Earthquake 8.8. Post-quake, it's a little difficult to discern what is actual damage and what is just the natural state of this ugly city. It's still summer and well, I like to sleep naked. Steady ladies! Amigo ven...

Facts and Fictions: Living in the border

http://tombrad.blogspot.com/2012/06/living-in-border.html

I´m not native english speaker, I´m just trying to create some understanable pieces of writing. I beg your pardon If I sound silly "es lo que hay". Tuesday, June 12, 2012. Living in the border. Arica has had bad press. It often appears in the national news as an example of economic depression, or due to a corruption scandal, or offenses related to smuggling or drug trafficking. Arica is also talk from time to time by the mega tsunami that can devastate the city at any time. But not all is wine and roses&...

Facts and Fictions: Kabloom!

I´m not native english speaker, I´m just trying to create some understanable pieces of writing. I beg your pardon If I sound silly "es lo que hay". Thursday, July 07, 2005. Anyway all we must die some day and, if I could choose I surely prefer to die in a blasting instead of a long, dirty and expemsive illnes. In my view is a nice way to die, maybe that is why the bombings do not impress nor scare me, nothing at all. There are were faiths than death. Youre rigth, there are lot of things worse than die (t...

Facts and Fictions: Everything but money

http://tombrad.blogspot.com/2012/10/everything-but-money.html

I´m not native english speaker, I´m just trying to create some understanable pieces of writing. I beg your pardon If I sound silly "es lo que hay". Wednesday, October 31, 2012. I read it many years ago at Reader´s Digest. It is the story -autobiography- of a kid raised in a jew´s neighborhood of New York City in the twenties -when most of jews in America was still poor- I dont remember detais of the story but I never forgot the lead "in those years in which we had everyting but money". Arica in a nutshell.

With Ollanta the formal economy probably will slow, but much of the wealth of Peru is informal, as the production of gold and cocaine, two products that can withstand any financial crash, which independence on large investors and immune to any government policies .

Facts and Fictions: Classist Chileans

http://tombrad.blogspot.com/2011/10/classist-chileans.html

I´m not native english speaker, I´m just trying to create some understanable pieces of writing. I beg your pardon If I sound silly "es lo que hay". Wednesday, October 19, 2011. Published in the online edition of I Love Chile. Some time ago, talking with a friend -Chilean like me- about a gringo we met, he told me "he appears to be a lower class”. Well, I guess that "high class" in. Jobs related with cleaning or serve are considered unworthy in. Even the most prominent left-wing politicians in. Is not cla...

A Shark in Shallow Water: Dogs and Camels

http://asharkinshallowwater.blogspot.com/2009/12/dogs-and-camels.html

A Shark in Shallow Water. The ramblings of an angry man. Tuesday, 8 December 2009. Sunglasses are essential during sunny weather. In Santiago, you need them pretty much all year round. While officially not summer here yet, the fact that there are more sunny days above 25°C than not, makes it summer in my book. Who take a break from drug dealing to scream heladoheladohelado. The third most notable effect is the increase in the amount of female flesh on display. Chilean women do not flirt with strangers (a...
