[EARLY VIDEO] The Tigre Delta Ferries: An Essential Lifeline That Makes No Sense
Added 2024-10-02 21:00:06 +0000 UTCPossibly the most obscure transit system I've ever covered...but this system of wooden boats in the exurbs of Buenos Aires was absolutely mind-blowing!

Thanks so much!

2024-10-10 13:29:47 +0000 UTCI really enjoy your family trip videos! Your Mom & Dad are terrific and I really love your relationship. But this! This transportation system is fantastic. If I lived there, maybe a little frustrating, but what a wonder! What's bad weather like? Anyway, great video! So happy I saved it to watch after work.

2024-10-10 03:29:16 +0000 UTCThe mosquito that transmits Dengue (and Zika / Chikungunya) is Aedes aegypti. It doesn't do well in cold winters--hence being mostly in tropical / subtropical areas and the relationship with climate change. It also is happy to feed on people during the daytime (a bit different from mosquitoes Americans and Canadians know). DEET and permethrin-treated clothing all work well. https://www.nature.com/scitable/topicpage/dengue-transmission-22399758/ Looked super fun to be on the river--even with the breakdown.

2024-10-04 01:57:23 +0000 UTCOkay, so I just went back and looked at your Christmas video on here, and the comments I made. At the time, I was in Costa Rica, and I suspect now that I had dengue fever. Dengue fever can often be asymptomatic, or have symptoms other than the obvious ones. When I was in Costa Rica, one day I was riding a train and I ended up collapsing onto the floor, and the next day I started getting a persistent otitis. And apparently, that can sometimes happen with dengue. So then I ended up sick in my AirBnB on Christmas Day and watching your California Zephyr video! Anyway, yep, dengue is a real thing and it can be tricky. Also, as a coincidential note, that sickness is why I didn't end up doing all my transit plans in Costa Rica...including taking a ferry across the Gulf of Nicoya.
