Malbec with ice cubes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

It’s such a silly refrain, but right now in Buenos Aires… it is 93 degrees with 46% humidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s not too bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone reacts differently to the heat… I can take 90 if I have shade and a breeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have neither a breeze today nor noon, so no shade. Walking if you must is only in the shade, where it feels 20 degrees cooler.<\/p>\n\n\n

And I do live in an air- conditioned apartment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And no, I’m not complaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it made me think of my life here with such gratitude after seeing the destruction and devastation in Eastern T\u00fcrkiye.<\/p>\n\n\n

These photos show the destruction of homes and businesses, hospitals, schools, and government buildings. Bridges, highways, and local avenues are all buckled and not usable.<\/p>\n\n\n

What a project to try and rescue folks that still might be alive in the debris, try to provide food, shelter, and warmth to this area…the job is colossal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Impact<\/h5>\n\n\n

Continual digging and searching for buried folks. Photo courtesy of The New York Times and photographer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Through my dear friend who lives in Istanbul, a few friends and I got a cash donation to her. She, in turn, gave the money to a man, another friend who could buy food and blankets and then drive to an area of the devastation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know we made a difference in a few people’s lives. She thanked us for our quick response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These donations will be needed again in Eastern Turkey and Syria for quite some time, as I think it will take years to rebuild the devastated areas, and people’s lives might never recover from their losses.<\/p>\n\n\n
