The Cuiabá Post

Road Safety in Cuiabá today.

I was driving from Morada do Ouro to Femina, the maternity hospital at rush hour this morning, then on the ring road Avenida Miguel Sutil to the Port District and then back on the ring road.  No accidents to report.  But the road surface is still bad between what I call the the military social club roundabout and the Goiabeiras shopping mall. And you have to slow down as you get to the roundabout because there is still road works there and only one lane open.  Be ready for tailgaters who refuse to slow down.  And some motorcycle riders conitinue to drive dangerously, overtaking on roundabouts.

There is a 'Life Sign' (Placar da Vida) in Avenida Rubens de Mendonça, which morbidly quotes the number of days since fatal accidents in the Mato Grosso capital. Yesterday it read 15, so 15 days had passed since any fatalities on the roads.

Men's Fashion

The bracelet at the top can be bought in two places in Cuiabá.  One source is the street vendors outside the Pantanal shopping mall. But they are expensive and service is really poor (they are arrogant). Another source is a shop in the old city centre and they have a greater selection at half the price.

Below is a forearm sun-protection glove that intend to use for driving.
