It was a smallish news item this week that caught my eye. It seems certain Orangutans in Florida are being provided with ipads to communicate with their masters - the humans. Now I am not sure if Apple is behind this stunt but it would mean that they are definitely thinking outside the box (or skulls - human anyway).
With most of the homo sapiens market now sporting an idevice perhaps its time to look at alternate markets. Alien visits are shrouded in secrecy so that is out of scope for now. Besides who knows what kind of goobledegook language those weirdos use if any. We could not sell them anything.
So the next best thing. Find a species with somewhat similar intelligence or lack thereof as the sapiens. Enter the monkeys.

Specifically landing for NYE 2026 in San Jose, Costa Rica. Capital city for this region that does not have its own army, instead relying on its big bro the Estados Unidos to the north is a metropolis of approx. 500K people. Largely wilderness and with both a Pacific and Carribean/Atlantic coast the country is rich in bio diversity. In Spanish it means the rich coast so named by Columbus landing in early 16th century and being mesmerized by the local tribes sporting gold jewelry. Our stay included visiting the foothills of a large strato volcano called Arenal and enjoying the naturally heated thermal baths for a while. Lunching amidst lush forest and watching indigenous species of avian noise makers fly overhead. Toucans, some sort of pea hens, multiple song bird species completed the spectacle. Iguanas and a lonel...
