End of a Dream

The daughter of a family friend and her spouse decided to retire to Nicaragua. Given the past history of Daniel Ortega, the Samosas, Iran-Contra and so forth I had very strong misgivings. I shared these concerns with our family friend.

However, they were absolutely sure it was a paradise and off they went.

Then this happened:

and they came home as fast as they could; and it was the end of their dream.

What is the LESSON?

Check, check, check, check and recheck and do not be so sure and so certain in the face of negative takes.

What if they might be true? So - check, check, check, check and recheck.
