One crisis, coming right up (If mother nature cooperates with a normal winter)! This could easily become a political hot potato due to the elections.

There's never been a shortage of muggers in Colombia, LOL. Doesn't matter whether you are down there trying to get oil out of the ground and sell it or getting emeralds out of the ground to sell as my post awhile back about my buying trips to Bogota attempted to do.
