I stumble towards the U.S. Immigration Officer. Will they send me to jail in Nicaragua?

“Hey Sir, your Green Card is going to expire soon”

” I don’t think so, it’s good until May 2026.”

“Nope, sorry but it’s May 2025. You better get to work on that. “

Wow! Thanks for letting me know.”

No problem Sir, welcome home.”

All that anxiety for nothing. The Immigration people were as friendly and helpful as can be. I blame the tabloid media.

I wake very early and hike up to the Pork Store on Haight. I make it in one go without sitting down for a rest.

I cross the road to Gus’ wonderful local grocery store.

I immediately fill the bird feeder and my friends flock to welcome me back.

I am just back from the Pork Store on my second morning.

I will have to stop going to The Pork Store for breakfast. Too much food. I feel like going straight back to bed.
