(since 10 things might be copyrighted by Letterman or some such) Eleven things that are a live giveaway (not sure what a dead giveaway is) when -
1. A State Government is fixated on legalizing the ban on foie gras and has the time and money along with legislative resources devoted to such bird liver issues
2. Creating new laws every other week to allow and disallow people to choose their partners of whatever sex (natural or unnatural) for however short a duration of their liking and causing undue waste of government resource
3. Chasing people (with ammunition and all sorts of federally funded vehicles) who choose their favorite herb (and agriculture) in the form of its intoxicating qualities rather than growing mundane crop like Artichokes (have you tasted one of these bland creations?)

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...
