MORNING EDITION!  FRIDAY, DECEMBER 21, 2018  –  #2946

Mrs. Claus is very happy to report that Santa will be making his favorite stop of the year in Los Barriles on Christmas Day. He will be leaving the North Pole, otherwise known as North Beach, at 12:00 noon arriving at Vela in Playa del Sol approximately 12:30. As the wind forecast is very light, Santa is putting out the call to all SUP caroling elves to join his entourage at North Beach and join the parade of Christmas spirit down to Vela!

c.  Yesterday we went to pay our fido at Banorte bank behind La Comer in San Jose, I had the correct amount of $464.00 dollars. I gave the money to the teller and the money disappeared behind the desk, one minute later he shows me the 4 dollars and gives me back $404.00 telling me that $60 dollars are missing. So I paid $60 more. I asked for the supervisor, therefore together with the Teller they counted the money at his station with the machine. Then they tell us that everything is correct. Of course everything was correct because the original $60 dollars were in the teller’s pocket to buy a Christmas present. I do not believe I’m the only one who was robbed by this guy, Let me know.
