¿Pirates Loot?
Relics Found in
P.R.
Intercepted by Don Jibaro Barbanegra
know that we had pirates, and one was a Puerto Rican... named
Cofresí. Whether he is connected to this story, I don't know, but it sounds fishy
(pun intended). You tell me.
Police divers checking a report of human remains,
and really old stuff off a Puerto
Rican beach may have made an archaeological discovery: bones and
possible artifacts from a colonial-era ship. The colonial era is, of
course, the one we had before the one we have now.
The divers found a cannon, pieces of a ship, human bones, a sword, a
Burger King cup and a
medal engraved with the name Isabel II, said Sgt. Angel Rivera
Rodriguez, a spokesman for Puerto Rico's police department.

Out of The Frying Pan...
Update
by Don Jibaro
he
wheels of time grind on... well, more than it should be, but I am
grinding much
better. Last month was a scary one, car accident, arrhythmia, etc... but
today no more. The biggie was a diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmia, or
atrial fibrillation, an offbeat heart rhythm that involves the two
upper chambers (atria) of the heart. It’s like dancing with someone who
limps.
You may have noticed that JIBAROS.COM has changed the theme colors and I
added some new items... including "Don Jíbaro's Dictionary",
(see below) matching a
serio-comic graphic to an uncanny definition. I have also added some
commentaries from my wife Irene and my daughter Frances.

Update on Don Jíbaro's
Health
by
Irene (Mrs. Don Jibaro)
rlando
visited with the cardiologist today. She says that he can
live with an "arrythmia" in the heart. that is, the atrial
fibrillation is when the heart speeds up instead of pumping
at a normal speed. rlando (DJ) visited with the
cardiologist. She says that he can live with an "arrythmia"
in the heart.
Atrial fibrillation is a cardiac arrhythmia (abnormal heart
rhythm) that involves the two upper chambers (atria) of the
heart. It can often be identified by taking a pulse and
observing that the heartbeats don't occur at regular
intervals He's taking medications that control this
and he was taken off of the aspirin and the water pill. (His
blood pressure was dropping too low with them).
Now, his job is to concentrate on losing weight anddoing
his exercises provided by a physical therapist for an hour a
day. He can still drink one cup of de-caf expresso a day.
He's already lost forty pounds. The report was positive and
we wanted to thank all of you for your words of
encouragement, uplifting us in prayer, and your
cards/visits/e-mails and, phone calls have been what has
given us the strength to "hang in there!"
We are so grateful.
Thanks so much,
Irene for the Vázquez familia;
