Our Man in San Juan, Dave Buchen adds a botched musical intro to the list of things he's surviving in Puerto Rico these days - a slow motion debt crisis unfolding across the island, an inevitable flattening of the first and third worlds, no soap in the school bathrooms, Zika virus - and explains why the emptying island just has more room for underground economies, local markets, crybaby baseball players, and Dave's latest book.

Oh yeah, that book, and the entire series, can be found here: Enciclopedia Deiknumena.
